WILL GRADE STREETS AND
BUILD Cement SIDEWALKS
Two Special Improvement Districts tc
Be Created that Will Greatly En-
hance the Beauty Of the City
in General.

At the semi-monthly meeting Of
the city council held Monday night,
more especially to hear objections
OF property owners TO the adoption
OF a resolution creating special Inn
provement district No. z. for build
ing cement sidewalks and curbs
and parking on second street from
Spokane avenue east, the s;\ne old
discussion of whether the sidewalks
should be pla I'D next to the prop
erty line or on the outside of the
12-foot strip came up again. It was
finally settled however by laying
the matter over until next Tuesday
night to get an expression from the
property owners who are going to
have this work dcne. 1t was, how
ever, recommended by the park
board that the walk on Second
street should be placed on the out
side edge of the 12-foot strip, but
that other places in the residence
portion of the city the walk should
be laid next to the property line.
The ordinance committee was also
instructed to get together and frame
up an ordinance governing the fu-
ture laying Of sidewalks, curba and
parking so as to eliminate any du-
ture trouble in this line.
The clerk read a report aud
submitted plans furnished by Engi-
neer Walters for grading Second
street and Central avenue. It calls
for putting the street down to the
established grade and gnaxeling r.
The councilmen were unanimously
IN favor of having tho work dome.
and the clerk was instructed to
present a resolution at the next
meeting calling for objections OF
the property owners. 30 that the
work can be started at an early
date. The cost for grading and grav
cling is estimated at $25 for each
lot dn the Improvement, which Is
payable during the period Of five
years, in yearly installments.
The park board requested that the
city cover up the septic tank with
dirt and fill up the excavations in
building the tank, SO that 1t will
make a more slightly looking place.
This was ordered done.
The health officer was instructed
to look into the sanitary condition
of places in the business district
which could be improved by con-
meeting to the sewer and report al
the next meeting. 3
The abuse of the springling priv.
ilege was the cause for consddera-
BILE discussion. 1t appears by reports
that there are many water users wht
have net needed the warnings issued
by the water commissioner in re
CARDS to taking out lawn permits
and observing the eprinkling hours
Therefore 1t was the Sentiment oi
the mayor and the council that the
water ordinance be lived up t.
strictly. and these who insist en- dis
regarding the ordinances will have
their water shut off without farther
notice.
A plain clothes man will be kept
en- to keep a lookout for violators
OF the water rules. and those who
get reckless can expect to pay the
consequences. The mayor stated
that he intended to see that the
water ordinance was enforced to the
letter.
A petition from property owners o.
Lupfer avenue was read. requesting
that certain fills be made, and that
the street be graded. The petition
was referred back for a more defd
mite understanding Of the work de
rSA r. .
