House Site Fund on Condition
that Half This Amount be Used
for such improvement.
A resolution adopted by the couu-
Gil Tuesday evening, in conformity
with a communication received
from the Park Board, calls tor the
transferring to the park fund of
SIP 500 of the amount received from
the sale of the new court building
site on Block 43, with the provision
that not less than 5000 of such sum
be used in the installation of a
"White Way" on Chestnut street
from Railroad avenue to Lake
Boulevard.
The cost of such improvement,
with five light standards eighty-fve
feet apart, is estimated at something
less than $1,000, and it is probable
the entire cost of the improvement
will be paid from the park fund.
Upon signature of the resolution,
which was unanimously passed by
the members in attendance, by the
mayor, it is the intention of the
Park Board to at once commence
work o.; the system, that it may be
completed at as early a date as
possible.
A petition from the Virginia Elec-
trio Power & Water Company asked
permission to divert the course of
the main sewer line at a point where
it crosses the company property, in
order to install 225yO00 gallon stor-
age tank. This improvement on the
part of the company is found to be
a necessity in order TO insure a per-
petual supply of pure water for our
constantly growing city.
Advices from companies respons-
i've to inquiry relative to the installa-
ton of an incinerator elected the
news that a representative of one of
the companies would be in attend
ance at the next meeting of the
council to take the matter up in
person. Such an improvement is
an imperative necessity, and will be
installed during the season.
Petitions for the paving of Central
avenue from Willow to Sage street,
of Chestnut street from Central to
Virginia avenue, and of Maple street
from Railroad to Virginia avenue,
properly signed by majority of
property owners, we're presented
and referred to the committee on
streets, alleys and sewezs, with in>
structions to have prepared and in
readiness for introduction at the
next meeting an ordinance provid-
ing for such improvement.
A petition from Carl r. Johnson,
of the Johnson Supply Co., asking
permit to move his Central avenue
building up to the sidewalk line
and to brick veneer the structure,
was granted. This is the building
purchased year ago by Mr.. John
son from A. N. Thompson.
Several petitions for needed side
walks in various parts of the city
were presented and referred to
proper committee, and a petition
for an extension of the city lighting
system to the new North Side Addi-
ton was referred to the committee
with instructions to report at next
meeting.
Five liquor licenses were renewed,
fight on one of the number being
precipitated through an idea that
certain man to whom license had
been refused was behind the peti-
ton. 1t was shown, however, that
bill of sale of the property was in
possession of the man asking the
favor and license was issued.
The city clerk was instructed to
write the Great Northern calling
attention to the ordinance provid-
ing for the planking of all railways
between tracks at all city crossings,
this poin: having been neglected
by the company at some of the
crossings on the road leading north
from the city.
