Mr.. Dietz is wondering as to who will
have to stand the damages for the break.
It is the first case of the kind that has
come up since,the paving was laid. The
tearing up OF the paving and the repair
ing OF the break is pretty costly mat
ter and he doesn't feel like standing all
the damages himself. He consequently
wanted to find out how much the matter
is to cost him. The council was unable
to answer his question and the matter
was finallysreferred to the street commit
tee who will consult with Mr.. Dietz and
try to adjust the matter to the satisfaction
of all parties. The matter is of real signi-
fgance, for the action taken in this case
will determine the method of proce-
dure in all future cases of this sort that
may come up.
The usual appropriation of city funds
for the use of Company "A' was made
at the request of Captain Baptiste Groeb-
ner. The council granted $3.50 to the
militia company. Captain Groebner
explained that when he had reported to
the state that the city had made this
donantion the state would come across
with similar amount of aid. The
council wondered if it would be necces-
sary to continue the use of city money
for the maintenance of the militia after
the new armory is completed.
The completed public Improvements
which the city has been pushing this
summer were referred to the board of
public works for the levying of assess
ments against the property owners.
This work consists of sewers on Broad
way from Fourth to Sixth North streets,
on Washington from First to Fourth
North street, on German from Second
to Sixth North, on Fourth North from
to State street and on
Sixth North from Broadway to German
street; water mains from Seventh to Tenth
North streets on Broadway and. Mime
sofa streets and the grading, crawling
and boulevarding of Broadway from
Eight to Twelfth North streets.
The typhoid cases against the city
were finally wiped from the slate when the
council granted a bill of $48 for the SUI
preme court costs in the case of the city
of New Ulm against Gertrude Frasch.
The council think they have heard the
last of the typhoid matter now and can
breath sigh of relief
Councillor Mueller suggested that
some of the surplus earth resulting from
the excavating for the sewer on German
street be used in filling in the grade
leading to Dayton's bluff. The matter
was left with the street committee for
final action
J. J. Jacoby of Rochester, who had
made application to erect his skating
rink in New Ulm was given the cold Shout
der by the council and will not be allowed
to bring his rink here. The council was
of the opinion that the rink was some
thing of the nature of carnival and
should not be encouraged.
The usual buget of bills was allowed
for the completed contracts on public
works. The Dearborn Construction Co.
of Waterloo, Ia, was paid $3,825.38 on
estimate number two of their work; Joe
Samson of Mankato was allowed 81 ,489. Sc
for the work his crew has done thus far;
the Union Machine Co. received $778.57
as final estimate on their work on water
mains laid last month and M. A. Adams
eco. of St. Paul received their final pay
for work on the CORTLAND and Beuss-
