ling.

The city commissioners last night
opened bids for sidewalk construction
work for the next year and also for
street sprinkling for the next year.
There were three bidders for the side
walk work and eight for the street
sprinkling. William Forgerstrom, the

was the lowest and successful bidder
on the sidewalk work and the contract
was awarded to him. His bid was as
follows: IL cents per square foot for
laying new cement walks; 23 cents
per cubic yard for excavation; 80
cents per cubis yard for filling and As
cents per square yard for relaying tile
walks. The Wachter Dray and Trans
fer company was the successful bid
der for street sprinkling, its bid be-
ing 81 per month per team for two
'eams to do the sprinkling. This bid
was accepted.
Wants A Sewer.
B. E. Jones appeared before the
commission last night for himself and
some other property owners interest
ed in the matter of securing a sewer
between Avenues A and B on First
street. Mr.. Jones stated that he was
paving taxes on a sewer on that street
but that there is no sewer The mat
ter was referred to Commissioner
Bertsch.
Two other property owners appear
ed before tna commission and enter
ed complaints ana their cases were
taken under Amusement by the com.
missiOners.
Not Much Left.
Commissioner Best asked about the
appropriation for the care Of the city
streets. He stated that the sum OF
$4,000 was appropriated to the street
fund and that $3,32S or about that
amount had been expended prior to
his taking office, leaving about $672
in the street fund for the four months
remaining in the fiscal year. commits
sioner Battey suggested that there is
about $500 left in the street crossing
fund and that Commissioner Hinckley
had put in about seventy-five street
crossings and charged this expense to
the street fund and that, therefore,
the money in the crossing fund might
be applied to the street fund.
Commissioner Battey asked that a
new committee be appointed on the
gas franchise matter and the presi-
dent appointed Commissioners Kirk,
Best and Battey on the new commit
tee.
The matter of the appeals of GER
tain property owners from the deci.
sion of the special assessment COM
mission was referred to a committee
consisting of Commissioners Best,
Kirk and Bertsch for review
