ASK RY. TO MAKE SAFE
CROSSING on SEC. LINE

+
ter of safe crossing over the N. p.
tracks between the north and south
side. Alderman Max Beres came very
near pitching headlons into the COM
pany's cinder pit one dark night while
crossing in the near the round
house, and there were several com-
plants made at the council meeting
Monday afternoon, indicating the dan
serous conditions Of passage between
the north and south side. Everybody
knows that the road crossings both east
and west are extremely dangerous, and
it was decided to ask the N. P. to put
in a crossing on the section line on
Third Avenue w. just east of the
Heaton Lumber Co. The city will be
satisfied if the company will construct
a grade crossing at this point. Alder
men Max Berea w. L. Richards, ALI.

were appointed by Mayor johnson to
take the matter up with the railroad
company.
Supt. W. ]. Littlehales was given
instructions to cut off delinquent water
users forthwith and it is said that
there was a grand scramble for the city
hall the next day or tworto pay water
rent long past due. People who pay
their bills every month do not feel very
good when they find that others have
been allowed to drag along for months
and some of them finally leave the city
and never pay, but in the future, If
the officers do their duty. delinquents
will have the wrench turned on them.
The treasurer's report showed bal
ance of $14. 745. rs on hand the first of
