PITY CARS-COUNCIL ACTS ON
PETITION OF CITIZENS

The streets, alleys and other prop
erty of the city will be kept free

action taken at the city council last
night has any weight with the rail
road companies. Petition was pre-
sented, signed by loo citizens, ask
ing that the city take action in keep
ing the streets cleared, notably Sew

The city attorney was instructed
to warn the railroads and cite them
the late decision of the supreme

gives a railroad company no more
right to obstruct the streets than is
enjoyed by a private citizen.
The city attorney was also in
structed to defend the Preston
brothers, who are being sued by Mrs.
George Ikeda for $3.50 damages
alleged to have been incurred dur
ing a raid made on Ikeda's place by
the police some weeks ago.
Complaint was made of the drain
under the Union Pacific tracks at
Fifteenth street and the railroad
will be warned to fix this before the
spring rains come.
The legislative committee of the
Greeley Commercial club sent word
that it was ready to meet with the
similar committee from the council
to prepare legislation applying to
cities of the second class whereby
the cities will be given more power
in doing publicity work and in en-
couraging the location of new fac
tories.
Minor routine matters occupied
the remainder of the session.

TAYLOR GIVE LITTLE EN-
COURAGENIENT

There is but poor outlook for con-
struction work to begin on the new
Greeley post office building in the
near future, judging from latest re-
ports.
President Petrikin of the Com
mecial club is in receipt OF letters
rom Senator Guggenheim and Con-
gressman Edward T. Taylor that
set forth the situation quite clearly.
More than year ago congress ap-
propriated $4,000 for public
building in Greeley, in addition to
the sum appropriated to purchase
the site. However, it was felt that
the sum named was inadequate for
such a building as the town is enti-
tied to. and a further appropriation
has been asked G. F.. Tew and
Senator J.W. McCreery were recent
ly in Washington and did some mis-
sonary work, but the letters that
came this morning indicate that
Greeley probably will be compelled
to wait couple of years efore
more funds are Forthcoming. The.
letters follow.
