| Near Settlement.
After eighteen months of litigation,
the Washington avenue railroad cross
ing vacation, is near settlement This
morning at the board of works meet.
ing, representatives of the Pennsyl
vania railroad informed the officials
that the deeds for the lots to be turn
ed over to the city in the vacation
and deeds for the land for the F. & N.
Lawn Mower works and the Gaar
Scott & Co., will be received in few

| Some merriment was caused at the
board meeting, when resident OF
South Sixth street, said he would "be
doggonned if a fellow can walk up
South Sixth street, unless he's well
jagged" In explanation he stated the
sidewalks resembled relief map OF
a mountainous country. The lay OF
the land" on South Sixth street is such
! that the general foot movement Of one
who has partaken frequently of fiery
liquid refreshments, is just about right
to strike the high places in the brick
walk. The board will probably at
tempt to place cement sidewalks or
South Sixth street next year.
There was remOnstrance flied
against the improvement of an alley
the first south of Main street, running
from Tenth to Eleventh street 1t viii
be referred to council with recon
mendation that an ordinance be pass
ed forcing the improvement, which
call for cement roadway. AS the allie,
is an unsanitary one the board feels il
should be improved permanently. May
or Zimmerman said this morning hs
would back council if it would pass al
ordinance requiring that every allie,
improved should be improved with ce
ment.
Street Improvement.

next year and widened to an so foo

corporation line. to 20 feet. Later i
was modified to 60 feet. The resolu
ton called for macadam but the prop
erty owners objected saying that grav
Ell was the proper material for stree
in that locality. The board finall.
took the matter under indefinite ad
visement. This morning all previou
action was rescinded. New plans viii
be started by the engineer.
The final assessment rolls on tw'
alleys. between Washington avenu
} and North F street, west of Nortl
