Retaining Walls Necessary.

The difficulty which has confront
ed the library hoard for the past six
months. that Of securing a place tor

The bntrd of education has donated
the building known as the annex to
the old high school building to the
library board for liLraIy huilding
with the provision that It be moved

the board permission to move the
building to a part of the lot on
which the city hall stands

the meeting had been called was to
pass an ordinance for the grading
and Improving of Main and College
ave., les aud the orosswalks between
the two.
The city engineer had made his
estimates but the city attorney had
not had time to get the ordinance 10
shape so that nothing could be done
except to talk the matter over infor-
mally. The question Of retaining
vale on Main avenue between Fifth
aud Sixth streets and College ave nue.
between Sixth and Seventh was
brought up and It was decided that
they would be necessary
The city engineer estimated the
cost of building concrete retaining
walls, where necessary. at s5092 and
It was decided to provide for this in
the ordinance
The estimated coat of grading,
cuTbing and filling with rock is
sl.O4 per square yard.
Another question which came up
was the electric light and telephone
poles now In the streets to be graded
aud 1t WAS decided to ask representa-
tives of the companies to meet with
The council and decide what should
be done with them
An adjournment Was tax IN until
Friday evening at which time the

Equally Divide
Bond Proceeds

The plans as outlined by the coun-
ty commissioners for expendiug the
money to be raised from the proposed
bond issue of 5000, 600 for highway
purposes, the election for which has
been called for March 18th is to
divide the money equally between
the three oommisisoner's districts.
As stated by Comm lssloner Llbbey
the money Is to be expended for
building new trunk Ines of roads and
for maintenance Of old roads In the
same manner as the road fund is
handled now.
II the bonds carry, the direct tax
for highway purposes will be elimi-
mated.
No part of the proceeds are intend
cd to be used iR connection with
state aid work, Commissioners Libbey
states. that proposition neve. having
been seriously considered by the
board. since no proposition in detail
especially relative to kind Of road
purposed by the state has been re-
oeived from the state board
The proposition is not being re-
ceived With much favor here, espec-
tally the idea OF dividing the money
equally between the commissioner g
districts. without any attention to
the needs of the particular locality
Ia regard to roads.
It is pointed out that the sontb
end Of .he county has been paying
taxes for years to assist In building
roads 10 the rest Of the county and
have practically received nothing In
return and that. while In the north
eDd OF the county. there are plenty
of good roads, 10 this end there are
not even trails that a pack horse
could pass over.
They say IL the bonds are to be
voted the money should be expended
where Il is most needed and It Ii
not good business to vote money e
he expended on highways where it Ii
not needed.
