of Anton Wiesner and others who had
complaints TO lodge with the city
fathers.
"Tony" complained that the street
commissioner had done the work along
Center Street and the alley abutting
his property in a very unsatisfactory
manner and that Bartl had used in
sulting language when his attention
was called to the slovenly work DONE
The matter was referred to the street
committee.
Otto Heymann and C. 81. Kiesling
appeared before the Council aud
called attention to the defective side
walks on Center Street from the M. g.
St. L. right OF way to Valley Street.
The matter was also referred to the
committee on streets with full power to.
act.
j. J. Schroepfer, of that part of our.
city known as the "Wallachei" un-
burdened himself about the children
in that neigbborheod who pester him
and make his life burden. The
mayor was requested to have the,
police make the necessary investiga-.
ton. a
Roy Berg's request for permission
to erect sign in front of his second
hand store which would project across
the sidewalk, was turned down.
because such signs are prohibited BIZ
city ordinance.
The committee on electric light and
waterworks was given full power to
allow Arnold Cordes to tap the water
main on Franklin and First North
Street and connect his premises with
the city water plant, if in their opinion
it is feasible to do so. .... &.
Robert Boesch's claim of $40 for
the use of his team at q recent fire was
turned down on the ground that this
money had been paid to Mr.. Gieseke
and that Boesch would have to"look
to him for his pay. The fire depart
ment committee was finally prev allied
upon to do everything in their power
to procure settlement between these
two gentlemen.
W. T. Eckstein filed written objec-
tions wherein he set forth in detail
why the assessments for the laying of
the sewer on South State Street as
returned by the Board of Public

Works confirmed the latter objection
and City Clerk Meyer was instructed
to notify E. T. Webster, the contrac-
tor, to remedy the defects.
Drs. Vogel and Strickler appeared
before the Council on behalf of the
St. Alexander Hospital and advocated
the laying of 4 inch watermains along
Fifth North Street from Garden Street
to the Hospital, because the tw" inch
pipes now in use will be inadequate
when the new building is completed
1t was urged on behalf Of the Hospi-
tai that they had contributed $50 at
the time the watermains we're extended
to Garden Street. The request was
granted and in the resolution authoriz-
ing the work, the city's liability ON
the private cess-pool to be erected was
limited to . sum not to exceed $1,000
According to tho City Engineers esti-
mate the laying Of these watermains
will cost between 1920 and 1890.

ing permit. An application for trans
fer of liquor license from Alfred Dsuer
to John Zischka WAS fled. The City
Engineer was instructed to make
