CITY Fathers HELD MEETING
HRANTED PERMITS, ORDERED
SEVERAL INVESTIGATIONS
AND ALLOWED BILLS

'one in several years. ,.
Several bills for insurance on the
library buildinr and contents were laid
over until the neyt meeting, as the
council felt that the city should not
take care Of the incidental expenses
of the library, considering the fact
that it is now allowed $1,000 for such
purposes. Up to few years ago the
library was allowed but $1,000, and
the increase was made with the under
standing that all incidental expenses
would be cared for out of this fund.
ALDERMEN Hall, Blake, Venners, Geo.
Peterson and Bell were appointed as a
committee to meet with the library
board and agree on some definite rro'
POSITION. .e
Alderman Geo. Peterson called the
councils attention to the condition OF
Tenth street northeast, between Broad
wav and First avenue. He stated that
the street is almost impassable and
that several complaints have been
made. The street commissioner was
instructed to put the street in passable
condition. -@
The street commissioner was also in
structed to fix up the east approach to
the Broadway bridge, which is in very
bad shape. - -.
alderman Peterson informed the
council that certain parties have bur
led their own horse at the dumping
grounds recently aAa that they recelv-
ed compensation therefor from the
city. The city attorney was Instructed
to look into this matter. ..-
Several of the aldermen stated that
complaints had been made to them
about a barbed wire fence which en-
closes the J.. X. Martin property on
Third street and First avenue south
east as being dangerous to pedestrians.
It is thought that state law pro-
hibits the use of barbed wire fences
within the city limits of any city. The
street commissioner was instructed to
have the city attorney look up the
matter and if there is such, law, to
take the necessary steps to have the
fence removed.
The street commissioner informed
the council that the city dumping
grounds have been fixed up IN good
shape, but asked that he be authorized
to erect a large sign at the entrance
to the grounds, instructiong the Reo-
ple to take all refuse to the further'
end Of the grounds: He was gwen
authority to do this 49,. ~. ........
Chief Fire Warden Geo. Emder
brought up the matter Of having the
fremen's g gloves marked as city prop
erty and stated that one man had Of
fered to mark them with the word
'<sCityn for So. The council was OF
the opinion that the gloves could be
marked at smaller cost with stamp,
and the city clerk was instructed to
write the stamp concerns for prices.
A. K. Hall was granted permits to
erect steel billboards on Broadway
east between the Monahan and Signor
buildings and between the Marotte
and Blake buildings.
