The Glenwood post., 1911-07-08
Cement Sidewalks Cussed and Dis
cussed... Ordinance Is
Proposed
koRN's EASEMENT IS REFUSED

The regular monthly meeting of the
town council was held last Monday
evening at the council chambers, the
entire board being present.
Under the head of petitions Thomas
Kendrick and Son asked that the walk
which they had been ordered to put
down on Colorado avenue be allowed to
go over until next year. Since Ken
bricks were allowed to ignore the order
of last year while others were forced
to build their walks on Colorado ave
nue., thus subjecting the board to accu,
sations of favoritism, the action of the
board in regard to this petition will
be watched with more than ordinary
interest.
Col. Smith of the street and alley
committee said in discussing the Ken
drick communication that if all the
walks were built that had been or
dered it would devolve upon the town
to build about 40 cement crossings.
He thought there were some instances
where the present walks were good
that perhaps the order might properly
be waived for this year, but all seemed
anxious that as many walks as posi-
BILE should be constructed this year.
The matter was finally left to the dis
cretion of the street and alley commit
tee.
Ollie ThOrsOn, secretary of the local
board of trade, read communication
from the Denver chamber of commerce
urging that Glenwood be represented
in the industrial parade in Denver July
IS with an appropriate float, the cost
of which would be from $3.50 to 5000.
The board seemed to think their in
vestment in John Rush was more i'm
portant just at present than floats and
parades and declined to help out in
the matter of advertising Glenwood.
Mr.. Thorson then asked the board
for subscription of $40 month for
three months to aid the Y. M. c. A.
in maintaining a free information bu-
reau for the benefit of tourists and
others and helping to advertise the
town and country. Trustee Cross
thought the plan was an excellent one
and moved that $50 be allowed. Barnes
made a motion that the mayor appoint
a committee to investigate, with power
to act This motion carried and the
mayor appointed the finance committee.
Cross then presented the claims of
C. NJ Keck for some assistance toward
defraying the expenses of the bicycle
road race on Sunday, August 6. On
motion the committee was allowed not
to exceed 500.
Geo. w. Kelker appeared before the
board and stated that in accordance
with the boards instructions he had
put down 100 feet of cement walk
along his property on West Tenth
street, but that others in that neigh
borhood had not built their walks as
ordered and he thought all should b.
treated alike. The street and alley
committee was ordered to investigate
the matter.
The report of the police magistrate
showed 54 arrests in the preceding
month. IL for drunkenness and the
rest distributed over a number Of
charges.
Bids for laying cement crossings
were submitted, the prices per foot
being as follows:
G. W. Farmer 1914 cents.
B. D. Herrick, 20 cents.
J. f. Shelton IS cents on the north
side, 10 cents on south side. On mo-
tion the bid of Shelton was accepted
for such work as the street and alley
committee may order.
A letter was read from 8. J. DeLan
as agent for T. Morris Perot, waving
any objections to walks in front Of
Perot's property and suggesting that
the town build the walks needed and
that Perot would pay for them at the
} time he paid his taxes.
