are given in special. bulletin No. 10

are as follows:

kota is we'll above IS, showing a
marked improvement in the sanitary
condition of the grocery stores dur
ing the past year There are still a
rev whose stores are not in proper
sanitary condition. but it is hoped by
n department that during the year
improvements will be made SO that
70 score shall be below 20. Any store
scoring below IS cannot be expected
to be In proper sanitary condition.
Prof. I-add suggests that proprietor,
OF grocery stores might make i'm
provements for their own benefit
which would increase their trade, if
they would re-arrange some of the
open stock. covering it properly with
glass to protect it from dust and in
sects; or raising all vegetables and
other products sufficiently high from
the floor so that there could be no
need for contamination: and all this
would be at Very little cost. They
would find also that the trade would
appreciate such improvements and
favorably upon the same.

Recommends Improvements.
City Engineer H. G. Lykken's report
embodied recommendations for sew
eral improvements at the municipal
plant. Among the proposed improve
ments are the erection of a coal shed,
the raising of part of the roof. COW
ering the root with a coat of tar and
gravel. repair of boiler No. /, the
purchase of two $50 horse power boil
ers to replace the present tubular boil
ers. The total cost of these and
many other minor Improvements
would be about S6.450. Mr.. Brown
suggested other necessary improve
ments that would raise the cost to
$4,000 or more.
City Engineer Lykken agreed with
Mr.. Brown that it costs more to OPP
crate a municipal plant than a private
plant. but pointed out that the city
would find it expensive to maintain
the water plant with the electricity
taken care of. Mr.. Brown stated that
his company was ready to submit a
proposition for operating the pump
ing plant also.

REJECTED PLAN
FOR A WADUCT
Council, Acting on Express
sion from Interested Par
ties, Turns Idea Down.

The proposition of the Great North
ern relative to the plan for an over
head crossing over the tracks of the
railroad was rejected by the city coun-
en-. The plan. as submitted by G.. J.
Murphy in behalf of the Great North
ern. provided for a crossing from a
point near the express Office to a poin:
near the F'airchild Fuel company's
office. The plan was submitted to the
city council with the understanding
that the crossing would not be built
unless it was satisfactory to the resi-
dents in the southwestern part of the
city.
1t was not satisfactory. according
to the protests made at the council
meeting last night. The main objec-
ton to the plan was made over the
fact tina the overhead crossing as
proposed would take care of pedes-
TRANS only. The real need is a cross
ing which will take care of teams and
wagons, etc. Furthermore, the pro-
posed crossing connects DeMers We.
