WILL CITY BUY farm?
DEITERS GETS CONTRACT

The committee report on the Lenne-
vile farm proposition al the council
meeting Monday afternoon was import
ant.
Mrs. Anna LenneviIle made four
propositions to the committee. namely ::
Purchase the farm for $12. 600; End, ex-
tend the sewer through her farm and
pay her $500, which sum should include
$500 damage claimed on account of
death of horses; 3rd remove the sewer ::
4th pay her 500 per month and let the
sewer nuisance remain as it is.
The city ought to have the Lenne-
vile homestead of 100 acres. which fact
the committee realizes. but it is be-
lieved that SIS per acre is too much to
pay. The committee recommended
that the city pay Mrs. Lenneville SIS
per month for the present, until the
matter can be more thoroughly consider
ed. and this seemed to meet with the
approval of the council. By extending
the sewer few lengths the present
condition can be improved to a great
extent and this will probably be done
at once. To extend the sewer three
fouths of a mile through the farm would
cost great deal and the owners below
would then be after the city. Hence to
buy the Lenneville farm seems the bus
iness like solution of the troublesome
problems, which must be met sooner or
later.
The city gets a low price on coal the
coming year, the bid of the Deiters
Fuel Co. at $1.93 per ton for screened
Ignite being accepted. The North OAK
ota Pressed Brick Co. bid was $2.07H.
The Consolidated Coal Co. bid $2.14.
