of Ninth street known as the Firs.
With little work and expense, said
Mrs. Castner, the park could be made
available as charming rest spot.
She stated that Mrs. Louis Kresse had
offered to care for plants that might
be set in the plot. The matter was
referred to the committee on streets
and public property with instructions
to report their findings at the next
meeting.
Councilman Early, chairman of the
fire and water committee asked the
council for another week in which to
make a further investigation of the
fire escapes and exits of the buildings
of the city. His request that the fire
and water committee be assisted in the
Investigation by the street committee
was granted.
Councilman Smith, chairman of the
street committee, reported that that
committee had investigated the status
of the Improvement of Ninth and
Eugene streets. He said that all that
it was necessary for the council to do
unuer the present circumstances would
be to advertise for bids, but advised
that no such procedure be taken for
the present. Mayor Hartwig suggested
that the committee should not let the
matter hang fire over another winter
season.
Chairman Wright, of the sewer
committee reported that since it would
be impossible to secure a petition
signed unanimously by the property
owners IN sewer district No. 6, the
council would not be able to secure a
change in the original plans for sewer
ing the district. He stated that bids
on the work should be advertised in
order to hasten it's completion. Engi-
neer Morse stated in a report that the
estimated cost per lot for the work in
the district would be $36.S5. If the
district below Pine street, named in
the proposed chang in the plans, were
added, the cost would be reduced about
| 81 per lot.
Robt. T. Lewis, street commissioner
| and marshal, made his regular monthly
report which was accepted.

The Dutch reafirmed their adherence to

taken largely in response to Dutch
Churchmen resident in Michigan. They

PRESBYTERIAN NEWS.

Comment Is made in connection with
the New York Presbytery's recent action
approving the work of Union Theological
Seminary that the disturbing element in
this presbytery is largely made up Of a
few people, other than pastors or elders
of the churches, who are chronic trouble
makers. While there is no disposition 20
discount the value of kindly criticisms
and of efforts TO keep the church free
from wild and foolish doctrines, yet the
presbytery's declaration shows that It op-
poses minute and unnecessary restric-
tions upon freedom of earnest discus
sion" Their expression, Weary Of strife
and solicitious about the great things of
the church and the kingdom Of God"
would indicate something of the spirit
back of their action.
There is one suggestion that was made
with regard to the voting membership Of
the Presbyterian Church which would
meet with most determined opposition on
the part Of the great mass Of Presbyter-
ians. 1t proposes that the voting MEN,
bership be limited to two classes-the
pastors and elders of the churches. While
fully in harmony with the idea of repre-
sentative democracy. this proposition
would seem to smack SO strongly Of aris-
tocracy or Of oligarchy that It certainly
would not be entertained In 50 democratic
