Milwaukee railroad to maintain
the street. The city attorney
was instructed to look the matter
up and if this was found to be
correct to notify the company to
repair the street and also its
crossing at the Y on College aven-
ue.
The question of sidewalks on
Second street and on Capital Hill
was brought up. The required
notices having been served on the
property owners the street COM
missioner was directed to have
the sidewalks built, the cost to be
charged to the property owners.
A sidewalk was ordered built on
the south side on Center avenue
in the TOwnsite for two blocks
to connect the portions already
in.
: An ordinance was passed in
creasing the salary of the city
treasurer to four hundred dollars
per year and another codifying
and amending the license ordin-
ance. There was considerable
discussion in regard to one sec
ton of the latter ordinance. The
draymen wanted it so drawn that
no one could be employed to do
any work in the city without the
owner having first secured a Ii
cense for a year. Others wished
the license to apply to strictly
dray business. The section final
| ly passed, as prepared by the city
attorney, was a compromise be-
tween these two extremes. The
ordinance as adopted repeals the
section that put a license on
card, pool and billiard tables.
An ordinance was introduced
fixing the speed of automobiles
but it was not full in regard To
regulating the driving of them
and the city attorney was in
slructed to prepare another em-
bodying the views of the council.
The water collections for the
month of March we're reported as
something over one thousand
dollars.
A resolution was passed in
structing the clerk to give the

tion was passed fixing Tuesday

mating of city officers should be
held and Friday, April 9th as thu
, date of holding all ward caucuses
