CITY COUNCIL HELD MEETING
TRANSFERRED $4,000 TO ROAD
FUND-ORDERED IN WATER
MAIN

A regular meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held Monday evening at the
city hall, all members being present.
The bill of St. Gabriel's hospital for
$2SS for care of Patrick Boiler, man
who was injured by train mere some
time ago, was again laid over. It was
claimed that" when the man was injur-
ed the doctors refused to care for him
unless they knew where the money
was to come from, and this meant that
someone had to be responsible. How
ever, no one seems to know who sent
Bolzer to the hospital. None of the
alderman sent him there, they say.
The city physician instructed the Sis
ters to discharge him from the hospi-
tai long before he was actually dis
charged, Alderman Bell stated. Alder
man Hall stated that he believed it
was a railroad bill and ought to be
paid by them. City Attorney Gamer
on seemed to be Of the opinion that
the city would be liable if an officer
auth orized the man to be placed there
for care. If not, the bill would not
be a legal one against the city.
John Vertin, city treasurer, appear
ed before the council and called their
attention to the fact that 10 per cent
of the money derived from liquor H.
censes had not been nut into a road
fund, for fixing up arteries leading
into city, owing to the fact that he
had never been informed OF the ex-
istence Of such law. The law went
into effect in 1913. Mr.. Vertin asked
the council for permission to transfer
the money from the revenue fund and
create the new fund. 1t amounts to
about $4,000. A resolution authorizing
this was drawn up and unanimously
passed.
Elias Brown stated that residents Of
Tenth avenue southwest want that
street opened up. He said that there
are three families living on that street
and they have no way of getting out.
The same matter was brought up at
the previous council meeting and was
referred to the street committee for
investigation and it is now up to them
for disposal.
The application for a transfer of
the cigarette license or Rov ".---,er
and F. J. Nestlebush to J. F. Kenkel

A resolution was nassed, calling for

Mayor Fortier announced that he
had re-appointed J. Richie. L. E..
Richard and Mrs. G. A. Weyer haeuser
to the library board for the ensuing
term. The appointments were confirm
ed.
Albert Trebiatowski asked the coun-
Gil to see that the city cares for John
Schubert. who has been making his
home with Mr.. Trebiatowski for some
time. He has relatives here but thew
have refused to care for him. The
city attorney was instructed to look
up the relatives and to take steps to
have them care for him. In the mean
time the city will pay Mr.. Trebiatow
ski $40 per month for caring for him.
City Attorney Cameron was instruct
ed to investigate as to the residence
of Peter Burke, who has applied to
the city for poor aid. It is believed
he is resident of Ft Ripley town in
Grow Wing county and that he should
be taken care of by that town.
