council to say that the particular sec
tions to be paved have changed some
what since he signed the petition for
paving, and he did not think they
had treated him right to get his sig
nature for paving certain parts OF
town and then make alterations and
keep his signature on it without re-
turning for his approval. The coun-
Gil said they had advertised the de-
scriptions some six or eight times
and they considered that was mo-
tice to him. Mr.. Biethan thought
that might be a legal notice to him,
but it imposed considerable work and
watchfulness upon the citizen If he
had to check up against all their pub
lications and repetitions.
Thomas Short, who owns a place
above the fairgrounds, told the coun-
Gil that grading was being done OPP
posite his property and they had dis
turbed some Of his ground that lay
outside of his fence and he would
not stand for it; that if they tres
passed there again something would
happen. The street commissioner ex-
pressed surprise, said he had not
known of Mr.. Shorts possessions out
in the open and that he would be
glad to honor all his rights. The
matter was left to the street and al
ley committee and the commissioner.
Regarding the proposed new road
to the cemetery, John O'Neil report
ed that he had no land to give away.
Frenk Heese, who had offered to give
land thru his place, stated that he
had now seeded it and commenced
his farming and his offer is now
withdrawn.
The price of sprinkling was dis
cussed; also the matter Of taxing the
abutting property for wear and tear
on the sprinkler wagon used for their
benefit. No changes were made, but
new ordinance will be drawn and
submitted for approval Tuesday even
ing.
Councilman Pelkey reported having
had some correspondence with the
Carnegie library people and learned

handled by the sewer committee.
The school board informed the
council that they could not connect

condition of the stock yards above
town were reported upon. Promises

were discussed and Friday the four
teenth of April was adopted. Com
mittees from each ward are to sup
erintend the work. The city will fur
nish wagons to haul away the rub
