III 4a&at& NEAE&rNE HZN#& l
The council met last night in an
adjourned session at the city hail
for the purpose Of opening the side
walk bids and to take ON action
on the street Ear ordinance. The first
matter Of Importance was when
Mayor Sweet informed the council
men that he had vetoed the ordinance
that asked for the raising OF the
street crossings on the south side OF
Front street.
His explanation for doing same was
to the effect that IL he permitted the
raising OF the crossings on these
streets that there were twenty-five
other streets in the city that were
just as much in need OF the sarae re-
pairs. He stated further that this
would be an expense OF approximately
$4,000.
The street crossing funds are So
500 and the proposed improvement
would cost about $500. The council
men were in favor of dropping this
matter for this year. Mayor Sweet
stated that the city would need about
100000 this year for city improve
ments and that the city could not

Council directed the mayor to send
a letter to DIR. j.. G. r. Charest, sec
rotary of the RoIIo statue committee

to the city of a statue OF RolIo, first
duke of Normandy, which is to be
erected in Fargo during the time the

New Franchise Ordinance.
The Fargo-Moorhesd street car or
dinapce was the next order OF busi-
ness to be taken up. The ordinance
was declared passed upon its first
reading by members OF the council
and referred to the city attorney and
the ordinance committee to report at
the next meeting. Attorney STAN
baugh. who represented the street car
people, asked for an adjournment un-
til May 90 and on tkis date he wished
the council would then pass the or
dinance on its second reading.
This ordinance extends the present
franchise Of the Fargo-M oorhead
Street Railway CO. twenty-five years,
making a total of thirty-1ve years.

&McCoy. Robert johnson, The Great
Northern Fuel g. Cement co. The
Eddy Construction Co. secured the
contract for the tile walks which ran
from 80 to SO cents per square yard
according to the width of the walk.
The Kennedy & Mccoy Co. were the
successful bidders on the cement
walks. They obtained the city con-
tract which ran from 81 10 81. 10 per
square yard according to the width
of the walk.
A resolution was offered to the eff
feet that the proposed retaining wall
on Fourth street in the Third ward
was now no necessity and that part
of the plans and specifications OF said
resolution be abolished. The retainv
ing wall would cost the city in the
neighborhood of about $1,000 and that
the property owners OF the ward viii
save that much on the street paving.
This resolution carried and the wall
will not be built.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Eysrino craln Letter,

Chicago, May is.-Wheat: undi'
Sested long wheat has been weighing
on the market ali day. It has made
prices unresponsiye to bullish news and
responsive to the other scrt-the re-
verse OF conditions heretofore preva-
ent for some time. An early bulge to
lie and SIC over last nights closing
apparently stripped the market Of q
considerable overnight crop Of local
shorts, since which the market has had
one successive wave OF weakness fol-
lowing another and each denlonstrat-
ing the more clearly that floating sup
plies in the pit are large. Continental
European markets were closed today,
but Liverpool was higher for May and
4 little easier for deferred deliveries
rejecting less favorable Russian crop
news and lighter Argentine shipments.
The weakness in corn and oats was
a very great encouragement to sellers
and also an incentive for selling long
wheat. We think the break is further
than the situation warrants M We
would buy July wheat on this break.
