Matters
The fixing of the tax levy for the
City of Little Falls for the coming
year, the acting on petition for sewer
extentiou, passing on liquor license,
permits, resolutions and other matters
to come UP in the general routine OF
business, made the regular meeting of
the city council Monday evening a
very interesting one, especially so as
there were two big delegations present
to- take up matters with the city
fathers, one from the library board to
ask for a raise in amount apportioned
for the public library and one COM
posed Of the petitioners for the sewer
extension which has been before the
council for some time past. Both left
the council chambers, happy.
Aldermen Kiewel, Bastien, Elvig,
g. A. Carlson, G. E. Carlson, Lane
and Loucks were present
The report of the board of public
works, in which it approved the sewer
extension from manhole half way be-
tween Fourth and Third street on first
avenue northeast, up the avenue to
Third street, thence up Third street to
the center of the intersection of third
street and Second avenue northeast,
total distance of $50 feet, was taken
up and petition acted on at this time.
The total cost of the extension is
estimated at 1854. IS tow ards which the
city had agree to make an approrpia-
tion of $3.50. The city engineer 8 repo: t
showed that in order that any lasting
benefit be secured through the new
sewer extension, it would be necessary
to relay the half block of sewer 'front.'
ing the Central school and Episcopal
church property on First avenue north.
east from Fourth street to the alley on
that avenue, for which 10 inch pipe
would have to be put III instead of an
inch so as to conform with the size
of pipes of tho new extension and would
be an additional cost of 1854, which the
city would have to foot Messrs. J.
j. Monahan and Austin Grimes agreed
to pay their assessments for the i'm.
provement in advance and stated that
most of the other property owners ia
be benefited thereby would do like
wise. The petition was accordingly
put on final order and passed, receiv.
ing the unanimous vote Of the council
S. Trebby was granted a permit to
take five or six loads of rock from the
northeast corner of Pine Grove Park,
which part was burned over by fire
last year.
The park board OF the city council
decided yesterday morning to not let
the rock be taken as this is contrary t.
the agreement between the city and
the grantors. NJ NJ. Williams brought
up this point.
The request of Matt Krause that the
brush between Eighth and Ninth streets
on Fourth avenue southeast be cut,
was left to the street committee. The
gentleman also wished to be informed

to tie COWS on vacant lots in such q
manner that they could get onto the
public highway, stating that it wa.
