WORK STOPPED ON SEWER

The city council held meeting
Monday night. The sewer con-
tractors appeared and asked for an
extension of time in which to com
plete the sewer, giving as their
reasons the fact that the ground
was frozen to such depth that it
was impossible to do work with the
machine and too costly to do it by
hand. The council granted their
petition and gave them until June
first to complete the job. They
have stopped work now and will
not start again until the frost goes
out of the ground. Tuesday night
thn council met again to get the
city engineers report and pay the
contractors what they had coming.
The work is now somewhat over
half done and the worst part of the
digging finished, under the contract
they were allowed to draw IS per
cent of the cost of the work as fast
as it was completed, the council
holding back IS per cent, besides
this the contractors are under
heavy bonds and the city is amply
protected in all ways.
The bond of Henry Brink as
city treasurer was approved and
accepted.
Complaint was made to the
council that strip of sidewalk
needed to be built on Dakota ave-
nue. near Spruce to connect that
already built if full value is to be
had of the sidewalk when the snow
begins to melt. The council order

Mr.. Morgan testified, somewhat
airily, before the Money Trust in

When Mr.. Morgan's concern or

for it's trouble.
In order that dividends may be
paid upon this $29, 900, 900 every
consumer in the United States
must pay excessive prices for manu-
featured steel goods, because every
family in the land uses in some
capacity at least some of the pro-

trust.
How can it be figured that "the
