PAVING CONTRACT LET
Burlington Company Were the only
Bidders On The Job.

Councilman Lafollette of the First
Ward, at the first regular July meet
ing of the city legislature, Monday
evening, wanted to establish a red
light district at the east end Of First
avenue, at the end OF the pavement.
Complaint has been made of the
place as dangerous to automobiles.
Several cars have narrowly escaped
going over the end of the ditch and
some one was in lsne 20 De nurt al
the place. A light was ordered trans
ferred from the west end OF the ave.
nue. where there are two within a
half block, TO the east end of Elvyn
place where the need for new light
is urgent.
Bids for the alley paving were
awarded to the Burlington construc'
ton at $2.02; authority was granted
the street and alley committee TO
contract for the purchase of strip
of land along the south side OF For
est Cemetery west from Ninth street,
Engineer Bidges was instructed TO
sell the old brick, fun brick, not bats,
in the old pavement for fifty cents
a load, said load to contain approXi'
mately six hundred brick.
The allowing of the claims list
alone was task that required more
than an hour.
Before taking up routine business
the petition and protest of adjacent
property owners was heard against
the erection of a coal chute by the
Burlington in the neighborhood OF
south ID street. A new switch is be-
ing constructed across ID street by
the company. The council adopted a
resolution protesting against the
erecting of coal chutes at this place
by the company and ordered the com
pany TO install gates forthwith for
the protection of the South d street
crossing.
