RIVER front Plan
Council Will Meet on Next
Wednesday Night to
Outline Course
WOULD REMINDER
HOUSES OF CITY

At last nights session OF City Coun-
ell Councilman Draper reminded the
members that next Wednesday even
ing had been set aside as the time to
consider the river front project Mr.
Draper urged that all members be
present. Councilman Haney suggest
ed that the riparian owners be in
vited to attend the meeting. but this
idea was opposed by several of the
Councilmen. who contended that
Council should first agree among
themselves just what to do. Council
man Haney said Council knew what
they wanted In the matter
Councilman Williams said that the
owners had set forth in letter some
months ago that they would not meet
with Council In the matter unless
Council had some proposition TO
make to them. Councilman Slower
said he thought IL best for Council
to agree on a plan OF procedure and
| then to ask the owners to attend a
conference.
At last nights session Councilman
Slower commented on the method Of
numbering houses in this city. many
of which were wrongly numbered. II
we decided to refer this matter to
Building Inspector Anderson and he
will report to Council.
Il was decided to transfer from the
Farmers Bank the sum of 100000 TO
each of the city's inactive banks. Tho
sum Of S34754, the final dividend from
the Elizabeth Turner Trust Fund. was
ordered transferred from the Artisans
Saving Bank TO the Farmers Bank.
The sum of S2,S4519 was ordered
transferred from the Union National
Bank TO the Farmers Bank
The following appropriations we're
allowed: S. p. c. A.. $50; Water
Board, S23,24S.O5: Board of Educa-
ton. S1O.249.39; Park Board $4,000;
The balance in bank to the credit of
the city was reported to be 1887 ,t6S.23.
Councilman Slower said that on
next Tuesday night the general Old
Home. Week committee would meet
in the City Hall and he thought all
the members of Council should at
tend that meeting. He thought this
necessary to show the citizens that
their representatives are interested
in the big undertaking. He explained
that there will be ample work for all
concerned IL they want to help. and
he did not think the burden of the
undertaking should be allowed 10
rest upon few individuals.
The ordinance authorizing a bond
issue of $4,000 for the Water Board
the money TO be used for the installa-
ton of water meters throughout the
city, was given a third and final read
ing and adopted by the unanimous
vote of the members. II was re
ferred to the Mayor for his approval

Juice was Turned on for
First Time Wednesday
Some Work to be Done on
Dock and Then Machinery
Will be run by New Power

The work of putting in an out
door sub. station for the Washburn
Electric Light and Power company
was completed yesterday afternoon
and the juice was turned on for the
first time. 1t is from this sub station
that the power for the Northwestern
Fuel docks will be secured and as
soon as some work has been done at
the docks the power will be turned
into the motors and the docks will
be operated by electricity.
The power for the docks will be
furnished by two 900 H. p. motors
and the new pump at the dock will
be operated by 100 HI. P. motor.
These motors are capable of develop
ing SO per cent more than their
registered load which will mean that
the docks will have plenty of power
to operate their equipment for some
years to come. The putting in of the

Will be Large Crop

There is every indication that
there will be a bumper crop of
blueberries and raspberries this
season. The crop missed the
frosts and the fruit is now fast
ripening. Those who have been
out in the woods say the vines
are loaded and that the crop will
be heavy.
Every year hundreds of per-
sons engage in the berry picking
business and large amounts of
the fruit is shipped out each
season.
The blackberry crop will also
be above the average. This
has been brought about by the
ideal weather conditions during
the forming of the fruit.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1914-07-09

was adopted, and Specia
Bridge Com mittee appointed, o1
which [ was made a member
and this com mittee was instruct.
ed to advertise for bids, let con.
tract, and push work TO com.
pletion as fast as possible.
Contracts were duly let for
the construction of two steel
bridges and the filling in of a
portion of this road. The bridges
have been erected at cost of
$8,55O.OO. Contract for sheet
piling and filling was let for
100000. The bridges have
been paid for, or will be within
a few days. and about S., 10000
has been paid on the filing con.
tract.
It will require a further ex-
penditure of about $4,000 or
$500. 90 to riprap with stone the
abutments of the 12O #. span
bridge.
AS the matter now stands, the
county is com mitted to the pay.
ment of $15,500.OO even if the
work is stopped and the road
abandoned.
With these facts before you it
must appear to you that the
most reasonable thing to do is to
let the committee who have this
work in charge, continue the
work and push it to completion
as fast as possible.
Nothing can be gained by call
ing the County Board together
for the consideration of the
matter as it now stands. Such
a meeting will cost the tax pay.
ers of the county about $500. .00.
If you agree with me that this
is an unnecessary expense, /
would ask that you refuse to
sign the call for a special meet
ing of the Board at this time,
and by so doing you will confer
a favor upon your constituents
and the county at large.
