CITY COUNCIL NOTES.


Monday evening. All members were
present.
A large number of petitions for con-
crete curbs and cutters were read
Several were granted without the un-
animous petition of the property own
ers of the block and then withdrawn.
There seems to be an erroneous I'M
preston that the new curbing law per-
mits cities to do the work without
unanimity.
William Korten, high school boy,
injured by saw in the manual train
ing department, wants $500 as damages.
An interesting question is whether or
not the case comes under the lndustri-
al Commission act.
Petitions for better fire protection
in the factory district near 14th and
Franklin streets, and also near the
Pea Gamers company factory were re-
ferred. The requests involve the lay
ing of several large mains.
The people on 18th street between
New York and Michigan avenues re-

An old plat of small tract at New

"Brinkman's addition" was filed for
approval. 1t has never been accepted.

committee.
A hydrant on Clark street was order
ed installed as was a fire alarm box at

Thorison reported at length on the
proposed Rahr Go. lake intake. The
company says that the intake is abso-
iule.y necessary to supply the necessary
fire protection and water for malt;
that the city cannot furnish either
the pressure or quantity OF water nec-
essary. that the company will prob.
ably continue to use as much city wat
err as heretofore; that the intake will
be valuable add tion to the city sup
ply in case of large fire; that the
company has no intention Of antagon-
izing the city, The committee was
discharged and contemplated opposition
to the intake will probably be abandon
ed.
Some time ago the city ordered the
police to turn all fees into the general
fund. The officers retaliated by hav-
ing their pension trustees order them
to keep fees as provided by statute
The council now counters by killing
the resolution providing $3.50 'emer-

Things are now back where they
started.
The committee on streets approved
improving short piece of Madison be-

printing jobs, turning about on the ad-
vertising and proceedings as in former

Wisconsin Municipalities to be held

and city officials will attend the mayor
having guaranteed expenses from the
contingent fund"
The bathing beach caused some talk
The mayor doesn't like the expense
unless the beach is used more than it
was last year. His economy talk re-
suited in beach being authorized on

championed the new north side beach
and "put it over"
