ED BUSINESS LEFT OVER
FROM REGULAR MEETING
The adjourned meeting of the
council Monday night considered mat
ters of sewer and water extensions
mainly. City Engineer Beach was
sick and unable to be present, as
expected. Reports of committees
were turned in showing that certain
proposed extensions were feasible.
The extension of the water main west
of the river along Second street will
be started as soon as possible. The
committee took up with Supt. Birds
all the matter of connecting the pro-
posed new water main with the N.
P. engine and pump at the round
house to use for additional pressure in
case of fire. Mr.. .Birdsall is UNDER
stood to favor this proposition, and
the same has been referred to the
general Office at St. Paul for approval.
The new water main in that part of
the city will furnish fire protection,
which is needed, also a supply of
city water which is preferable to that
of surface wells. A good deal of
sickness that has originated west of
the river, is believed to be due to the
water supply at present attainable.
The residents of that portion of the
city will eventually consent to sew
erage connection also, but this is not
intended for the present.
The bond of the city assessor, e.
Seller, was presented and accepted.
Report of city treasured showed
daily balance of $6,04o.79 in the
James River bank.
Report of the weighmaster for Feb
ruary showed collection of $124.60.
The city auditors report showed
the collection of $21.60.
The reports of the police magis-
trate for January and February show
ing receipts of fines, etc., was re-
ceived.> TWAS stated that the pris-
oner sentenced to 10 days on bread
and water had been released by au-
thorities on his promise to leave the
city and not return.
The automobile ordinance was a.
mended so that the expiration of the
licenses provided under the ordinance
for autos, should be on January 1st
of each year instead of September
1st.
/ The city council will fix up a cloak
room out of one of the small rooms
in the third story for the convenience
of persons attending conventions,
meetings, etc., held In the hall.
The city police were instructed by
the council to enforce the ordinance
prohibiting the practice of minors
and all persons under 18 from visit
ing pool halls and playing games
therein.
The city authorized the advertise
ment for bids, for 30O-gal. per min
ute pump and an electric motor to
run the same. This pump is intend
ed to be for the city wells and the
bids to include installing. The neces-
sity for keeping the city stand pipe
filed with water at all times, is said
to exist and small pump to run
continuously is advised by the elec-
trio light company, as better propOs-
ftion than the running of a large
pump at intervals.
The council took no action as to the
extension Of the sewer main on Sec
ond avenue south, but an extension
will undoubtedly be made in that
part of the city the coming summer.
The plans for the sewer and water
extension on Sixth avenue north, con-
sidered at the last regular meeting,
were confirmed by the council and
this work will be done during the
coming summer.
