Having called up Stable Linn
ESD, clerk of the Board of Alder
me !, he informed US that the fol-
lowing is substantially a correct
report of the meeting of the Board
held Thursday night:
Captain of police, g. Fl. SHAY
er, asked the board to pay for a
dog which belonged to J. W. Hall,
killed through mistake by the po'
licemen. Mr.. Hall was present
and stated that he paid $1,000 for

regular order of business the mat
ter was referred to the city attor.
ney.
N. B. McCanless appeared be.
fore the board and asked relief
from the whistllng of railroad en-.
gines along the road near his
home and the homes of others in
that community. He presented
a petition from the citizens in his
vicinity aud declared the
whistling was a nuisance. The
board agreed to take the matter
up with the Southern.
Complaint was filed against So
veral homes on South Lee
street between Fisher and Bank
on account of lack of sewer con-
neot;on. These being in the COM
pulsory district the proprietors
were ordeved to connect.
1t was reported that a represent
alive of the company putting
down the bithulithic streets would
he here in a few days to examine
it and make repairs here needed.
The city has a guarantee contract
with the company to keep it up
for fvs years.
DR.. J. e. Stokes offered through
the street committee to pay for
the stone to macadamize Liberty
street, by the sanatorium, from
Fulton to jackson, if the city
would do the work. On motion
the proposition was accepted.
On motion tho sidewalk on
Council street from the corner of
Church, at the Baptist church, tc
Jackson, was ordered fixed as soon
as the city street force can go to
it. (The street force, is now at
work improving the sidewalk.)
1t having been reported that
automobiles are being run through
the streets beyond the speed limit,
1t was ordered that the officers ar
rest any person caught violating
the ordinance.
1t was ordered that Cemetery
street be opened across the Rail-
road, in East Ward. Mr.. Linn
was directed to notify the South
ern of this action.
Action was taken to open Lib
erty street from Jackson to
Church, and the cemetery COM
mittee was directed to help in the
work. In doing this it will be
necessary to pass through the old
Negro cemetery and probably q
number of bodies Will have to be
moved.
1t was reported that the coun-
ty commissioners would put down
macadam on West Innes Street to
the boundary line if the city
would furnish the rock. The
matter was discussed and contin-
ued until next meeting. This
street becomes almost impossible
in the winter and something
should be done. 1t would be a
great,pity to macadamlze and curb
this street without first getting it
Strengthened. 1t can be done
now at a great deal less cost than
at any time in the future.
A motion to reconsider the &C.
ton of the board in raising the
license on near-beer from 800 to
500 was lost. No license for the
sale of near-beer had been issued
under the new ordinance.
A number of bills we're audited
and ordered paid.
