IMPROVEMENT District
IS TO Be ENLARGED
RESOLUTION INTRODUCED At A
MEETING OF CITY COMMITS i,
sIoNERs MONDAY NIGHT.
Ordinance introduced to Provide for a
Paid Fire Department With Men to
Be on Hand at All Times.

The proposition to create an I'm
provement District in the city by the
board of city commissioners is grad
'ually taking shape. Last evening
Commissioner Jackson presented a
resolution greatly enlarging the dis
trict as proposed in the resolution
presented week ago. The newly pro-
posed district takes in practically all
of the present sewer district, except
ing the business part of town and also
includes RivervieW Addition which is
not in the sewer district, the sewer in
Riverview being put in by the own
ers of the property. In other words
the improvement District will take in
from Tenth street on the east to
Thompson street on the west, and
from the middle of the block between
Thayer and Broadway on the south to
the north line of Mckenzie & Collins
addition on the north or to what is
commonly known as Avenue G or the
Boulevard, the street running along
the south side of the capital grounds.
The resolution was finally referred to
the city attorney to be sure that it was
in proper form and that all the steps
toward the creation of the district are
in proper shape. The reason for the
enlargement of the district was be-
cause there were number of people
living in all parts of the city who wish
ed their particular streets and neigh
bOrhOods to be improved and it was
thought better to form one large dis
trict than several small ones as the
work could be done cheaper and to
much better advantage.
Bids for sidewalks were opened and
found to be as follows:
Mahlan p Moors: IL foot walk,
so cents per foot.
Mahlan p. Moore, 6 foot walk, 80
Milstad & Person - foot walk,
So cents per foot.
Milstad & Person 6 foot walk "a
cents per foot.
Plymouth Construction Co., of Min.
neapolis, IL foot walk, SO cents per
loot.
Plymouth Construction Co.. of Min.
leapolis, 6 foot walk, 50 cents per
'oot.
This last price was evidently an 'er-
or and all the bids were referred to
committee consisting of Messrs.
Jackson, Lucas and City Engineer At
linsOn. The prices for excavation or
filing ran from 80 to 80 cents per
ard
The city engineer presented an es-
innate Of the cost of constructing a,
ever extension on End street from
Avenue D to Avenue f, totalling $578.
The estimate was accepted and bids
will be called for the building of the
ever.
Commissioner Marquett introduced

artment, providing for men to be on J.
and at all times, etc. 1t was read
Or the first time and referred to the
ity attorney for his opinion.

There was great interest manifested
by the two large audiences at the Or.

the curtain arose on the act of the
Invincible Trio, which is composed OF
three cclored men who sing and dis
pense sweet music. Their musical
numbers were good, each of them be-
ing able to play upon some musical
instrument, and their singing of south

The great interest in the act how
ever, lay in the fact that two of the
troupe are blind. Their manner Of
getting about the stage and in per-
forming their various stunts appealed
very strongly to the spectators.
