CITY COUNCIL MEETS
IN REGULAR SESSION
Hold Up Street Grading COntraCt-Ar-
ranges for Front Street Improvement
and Tackles Hard Job

At the meeting on the night of the
eleventh nothing was done by the
council beyond allowing a lot Of bil.s.
The street grading contract, which had
been the previous meeting night award
ed to Joe Massie, did not come up for
some reason.
When the council met Monday night
Mayor Woldenberg and Councilmen
Motteler and Miller were absent. Mr..
Massie, to whom was awarded the
street work on River front street was
present and represented by Mr.. Nelson
as his attorney. The bone of conten-
ton is whether the work shall be done
according to plans and specifications
for the lump sum of his bid or on
yardage basis. The council wanted
the contract drawn on the lump sum
basis with a provision that deductions
and additions should be estimated by
the city engineer. The matter finally
went over again to the next meeting.
Mr.. G. L. Gardner was present and
read letter from Mr.. L. w. Hill.
president Of the Great Northern rail-
way, in which he proposed to give the
city the right to use small triangular
piece of land, 1901 square feet, near
the west end Of the park, to avoid the
sharp turn and improve the grade.
The clerk was instructed to file the
letter and acknowledge receipt, al-o
expressing the qualification of the cou..-
Gil at the happy outcome of matter
OF so much importance to the town.
Engineer Barnum was instructed to
make survey and plat of the ground.
The treasurer was requested to make
r report Of the city's finances and pre-
sent the same at the next meeting of
the council, showing the amount of
money on hand in each fund, how
much had been spent and what for, and
how much remained in each fund.
Right here is where considerable
discussion was had over the inability
OF the council to get reports from the
treasurer. Likewise it was stated by
the clerk pro tenn that it would cost at
least $50 to get the clerks record
straightened out. 1t appeared that a
number Of important ordinances had
been lost, that the council proceedings
were incorrect in that number OF ira IS
actions were not recorded. After much
discussion, in which citizens present
were asked to take part, resolution
was unanimously passed insructing
City Attorney Fox to prepare an ordi-
nance reducing the salaries OF the
treasurer and clerk to ten dollars per
month for the coming year, and an
ordinance providing for the employ
ment of competent person to act as
deputy clerk and treasurer at a sals1y
Of 800 per month, he to remain in
the clerks Office eight hours every ds7.
to be appointed by the council and
subject to removal at any time by act
ion of the council.

WAR HELPS IRON BUSINESS
Reports From the Commercial centers
indicate a Better Demand

Better steel prices and greater
volume of business are predicted by
Eastern steel manufacturers as a result
OF the European war. II is thought
that the embargo that has thus come
about upon importations of European
manufactured goodsis certain TO prove
a boon to American industries. leaving
American manufacturers practically
without competition in any part of
the world for the time being, and the
demand for such production centering
here from all parts Of the globe.

reported to have been already received
by the United States Steel corporation
and arrangements are being made to
ship considerable tonnage of various
products 70 Europe as soon as the for.
