Do NOT
WANT A
SEWER
Sixth Warders Go on Record
Opposed to Proposed
Storm Sewer ...
DISCUSS TRUNK SEWER ALSO
Are Opposed to Tt Any Place
South of Twelfth
Avenue North
DISCUSS TRUNK SEWER ALSO.

At meeting of the residents of the
Sixth ward, held last night at the Lin
coin school building. the citizens OF
that ward present went on record as
opposed to proposed reinforcement Oh
the Ninth avenue sewer, and also OPP
posed to any proposed trunk sewer that
would run through the Sixth Ward any
further south than Twelfth avenue.
AS far as the Sixth ward is concern
ed, this probably ends the proposed
sewer reinforcement for the Sixth ana
Seventh ward, as no sewer can be built
on Twelfth avenue for the reason that
that avenue is the northern boundary
of the city, and that the property to
the north cannot be assessed Tor Lhe
cost of construction.
The meeting last night was preslded
over by A. j. Westerdahl, who was
chosen chairman for the meeting. u.
A. Fraser was elected secretary.
The Sixth ward promises to take a
great interest in civic affairs In the
future as 1t was decided to hold
monthly meetings of the residents OF
the ward, and committee was named
to keep in touch with city affairs, with
the power to call meetings for the pur-
pose of discussing questions that may
be of interest to the residents of the
ward.
The committee named is composed of
c. A. Fraser, chairman, Ed Madison,
Herman Boerth Albert Gerlach and N.
There were about 100 present at the
meeting last night.

MUST NOT
PARK AT
HYDRANTS
Commissioner of Police Dahl
Announced Cars Will BE
Kept Away from Plugs
in ROAD OF The FIRENEN
Center Parking Will Be Ex-
tended in Several Parts of
the Business District

Commissioner of Police J. H. Dahl an
nounced this morning that after
conference with Fire Chief Sutherland
it has been decided to prohibit auto
mobiles from being parked within tif-
teen feet of any fire hydrant.
This action was taken for the reason
that the tiremen have had consider
able trouble in the past with cars
standing so close to hydrants to which
they wished to couple that their work
was greatly hampered.
Commissioner Dahl said that the
regular parking sign will not be put
up, but that blue line will be paint
ed on the Curbing on each side Of a
fire hydrant and owners Of cars will
not be allowed to park their cars any
nearer to the hydrant than this line.
This rule will apply all over the city
as well as in the business district.
Increase Center Parks.
The result Of the center of the street
parking rule enforced on First avenue
north has proven so successful and
the demand for parking space is get
ting so great that it has been decided
to increase the center street parking
on several streets where there are no
street car tracks.
A portion of n. P. avenue west of
Broadway will be painted for parking
purposes. The park on this avenue
will be ended before reaching the front
Of fire station No. l.
The wide portion Of Broadway, both
north and south of the Northern Paci-
fic railroad tracks will also be arrang-
ed for parking purposes in the center
of the street. Beginning at a point
where the street car turnout begins
north of the N. p. tracks a park will
be established in the center Of Broad
way to the gates. On the south side of
the tracks beginning at the Indian
monument a park will be established
and will be run south to a point where
it will not interfere ith the. street
cars on the courthouse line.
Mr.. Dahl is much pleased with the
way the center street park on First
avenue north has been taken advant-
age of by the automobile drivers, and
the drivers themselves are also much
pleased as it gives them good parking
room. There are still some drivers
who have to learn how to drive in so
that they will be headed down the
right side of the street without having
to back out but when this is learned
these parks will be most handy.

CHARGES
FRAUDS
Claimed That Eveleth Pool
Hall Owner "Worked"
Him In Deal
CUSTOMERS WERE NUMEROUS
But Purchaser insists That
Sellers Cash Was Used
by Them

Isaac w. Bills, residing at the Web
ster hotel in this city, has started
suit against an Eveleth, Mimi, man,
alleging fraud IN the sale of a pool
hall.
Bills returned to Fargo last Satur-
day; and expects the case will come to
trial at the next term of the court
at EVeleth.
A dispatch from Virginia, Mimi,
tells the story of the suit. as follows:
That J. E. Kiessel, former Eveleth
poolhall proprietor, gave his old Gus
toners cash with which to patronize
his poolhall while he, Isaac w. Bills of
Fargo, N. D.. was present with plans
to purchase the business, is one of the
claims made in the suit filed here in
district court today by Mr.. Bills, who
alleges the customers were to give
the impression that the poolhall bust
ness was f1ourishing. Mr. Bills bought
the, business and claims he paid $500
cash and was to make monthly pay
ments on the balance of 1886. He AYERS
Kiessel represented that his income
from the poolhall would be from $1O5
to $135 a week, but that the condition
of the business was misrepresented.
Mr.. Bills bought the business Jan 25,
1915, and cancelled his contract with
the defendant March 8. 1916. He is
suing for the recovery Of $500. One of
the defendants reasons for wishing to
sell his poolhall was that he wanted
to resume farming and that he was
recovering from an operation.
