Pavement-other Council Business.
The city council had another meet
ing on Monday night given over largely
to the discussion Of saloon licenses AID
it opened with flat turn down of
the application of Frank Martin for a
license for a saloon at 317 Milwaukee
avenue. The place in question had
been used for saloon purposes in other
years and the experience of the coun-
ell in seeking to regulate the place
had been such as to force the alder
men to question the issuance of rev
license there. Any doubts that may
have remained with the aldermen wera
removed by a remonstrance signed by
a large number Of property owners IN
the ne;ghborhood. On the first vote
Of the council the application was
turned down without a dissenting
voice.
a big fight was inaugurated over
the granting of license for the Aca-
deny on Wisconsin street A petition
signed by one hundred and sixty seven
bowlers in the city urging the grant
ing of the license to make possible the
opening Of more bowling alleys in the
city was presented. Alderman Joachim
desired to turn down the bowlers with
out hearing, but the petition was
referred to the committee on license
with Alderman Joachim being the
only opposing vote. Then there was a
remonstrance against granting the Ii
cense and this took the same course.
Action on all of the petitions will be
taken at the next regular meeting Of
the council.
The license at 9o4 Park street over
which there has been q lot of trouble
was issued to Joseph Nelson, the com
mittee recommending this action. The
committee held that Goodfellow and
Koehn, the other applicants for the Ii
cense. had been unable to secure a
lease of the building.
A little interest was brought to the
council meeting over the petition of
George R Wade, who has the contract
for the paving of Grand avenue at the
west limits of the city. In his petition
Wade asked to be permitted to install
a concrete curb and gutter instead Of
a sandstone curb on the street, holding
that it would be impossible for him to
get sandstone in less than ninety days.
He offered to put in the combination
curb and gutter for 47c foot. The
matter was referred to the street as
sessment committee with power to act
favorably on the matter if the unani-
nous consent of the property owners
could be secured.
The council adopted the report of
the judiciary committee in regard to
the Strengthening out of Maiden Lane
and an effort will be made to get the
1n c+r -
some agreement. A committee of FIVE
consisting of Aldermen Sullivan, Rob
erts, Mueller, City Attorney Slater and
City Engineer Brennan was named by
the mayor to make an effort to carry
out the recommendations of the com.
mittee. This committee will call
meeting of all the property owners and
seek to secure some plan for arbitra-
tion Of the tangled street lines.
Division street property owners will
probably have the first concrete rein
forced street in the city as petition
signed by majority Of the property.
owners asking the paving Of the street
from Milwaukee avenue to Racine
avenue, with concrete, was presented
to the council. Il is probable that the
work will be done before the end Of
the present year.
The annual audit of the books Of
the city made by Charles E. Winke of
Milwaukee, was presented. There
were few serious errors found in the
books. The council directed that the
entire report Of the auditor be pub
lished as a part Of the official proceed
ings of the city council and it will
furnish interesting reading for the
people of the city.
There was an unusually large amount
of routine matter to come before the
council and it was nearly eleven
o clock before adjournment was taken.
