A regular adjourned meeting Of the
city council was held at the city hall
Friday evening with Aldermen Hall,
Carlson, Parshall, LaFond, Peterson,
Kaliher and White present. The meet
inc was to have been held on Thursday
evening, but on account Of the Elks
celebration was postponed to Friday
evening.
The transfer Of a liquor license from
Bob Leblanc to Dell Leblanc was
granted but the bonds were withheld
until the next regular meeting, as there
was a doubt as to whether one Of the
bondsmen was a freebooter.
The bonds of w. H. Ryan in the
sum of $1,000 for sewer contract was
approved. =,
Bids were received for the street
sprinkling for the ensuing year and
the contract was awarded to Peter
Sand at $95 month. There was some
talk of the city owning sprinkler
which would mean more bidders for
the work, and a possible saving to the
city.
Former Alderman G.. E. Carlson pre-
scented four warrants for his salary as
alderman, one of which was dated
April 5, 1897. The clerk was instructed
to issue new warrant in place of the
old ones, in compliance with an order
issued by the council some time ago.
The names Of the newly elected Of
ficers Of the fire department. and Of the
companies were read and their election
approved.
An ordinance introduced by Alder
man Kaliher was passed, which gives
the city clerk authority to issue per-
mits for sewer work with the approval
Of the street commissioner and the
street committee. This will relieve the
council Of an unnecessary task, and
no delay need be experienced in build
ing operations under the new Or
dinance.
NJ. M. Williams brought up the Pine
Grove park question, asking that some
thing be done to improve the appear
ance of the place. He said that the
park could be made very attractive
and good advertisement to the city
with little expenditure Of money. The
council appropriated. 1925 for improve
ments and left it in the hands of MIR.
Williams to supervise the work. A
man will be employed to keep the park
in shape, and he will also act in the
capacity of police. He will be on duty
every day of the week all summer.
A permit was granted to the Little
Falls Plumbing & Cycle company to
connect with the sewer on Eighth
street northeast. There has been con-
siderable complaint as to the con-
dition of streets after work has been
completed on sewers. It was stated that
when the companies are through with
work on the street they leave it in a
very poor condition, with the result
that there is usually mud hole or a
hollow left. Hereafter, if the streets
are not put into the original conditions,
the applicants may be refused per-
mits.

ment. His appointments were also con-
frmed, with P. J. Vasaly as first as
