s;hla Ssss;hlat, the present walk is very unfit and
/ asked that some action be taken in the
matter. Alderman Loucks also suggest
ed that cement pier be built at the

was instructed to have the city en-
gineer give the council an estimate Of
the cost of these improvements. Part
Of the expense of these improvements
would come on the county in event
that the amount should exceed $4,000.
Alderman Hall also suggested that
a committee be appointed to confer

matter of building a joint county and
lefty bastile, as the city institution was

short time ago. 1t was left in the

pose and presented the plans and
specifications as desired by the mem
bers of the department. The petition
was left over to the next meeting Of
the council for action.
Mr.. Battles suggested fixing up
Broadway west with brickbats as the
street is very badly in need of repairs.
He said that Mr.. Duclos has about 100
loads Of the brickbats which he wants
removed. The question came up as to
whether the council could make such
improvements without assessing the
costs Of the abutting property and City
| Attorney Vernon ruled that improve
ments to the extent of 5000 could be
made at one time without assessing the
costs of the abutting property. No
action was taken in the matter at this
meeting, however.
