Alderman John called the councils
attention to the fact that children
have been in the habit Of building fires
in the Pine Grove park, also that the
farmers have been using the park
driveways for thoroughfares, hauling
hay, stock, etc., over them. The re-
suit, he said, is very unkempt appear
ance in the park. He urged that an
ordinance be passed prohibiting the
building of fires in the park and also
asked that signs be put up notifying
people not to use the park drivew-ys
for other than pleasure and sightseeing
purposes. The matter was referred to
the park committee and they will prob
ably have some form of legislation
drafted to be brought up at later
meeting Of the council.

Fifth avenues on Eighth street south
west to construct cement sidewalks.
F. Graham appeared before the coun-
Gil and asked what had been done in
regard to the extension of the water
-%l
one block, for which petition was
presented about year ago. Alderman
Brown moved that the main be built,
but this brought about a discussion
which finally resulted in his motion
being lost, none of the members being
willing to second it. Mr.. Moeglein was
the first one to object to the extension
Of the water main, his contention be-
ing that those who wanted water in
that block could do as some others in
the city have done, make connections
from the water main at his own ex-
pense. Alderman Hall was of the
same opinion. The reason the coun-
cilmen objected to Installing water
mains along the block as petitioned for
was that by some error the residents
along that street got the sewer free,
IndI IS, CAe cOSL OF It's construction was
paid out of the general fund. There
fore, Aldermen Moeglein and Hall con-
tended, the residents who want water
should be willing to stand the cost of
getting water connections. The coun-
cilmen also objected on the grounds
that it would add another hydrant at
$50 per year. To this Alderman Brown
answered that the fact that the rates
charged for water service by the Wa
ter Power company are prohibitive
should be no reason for deriving the
people of the service. The high rate
was permitted by some council years
ago, he said.
Alderman Brown told the council
that the library board had asked the
building committee of the council in
regard to the construction of a con-
crete underground coalbin for the IL
brary, large enough to hold about 40
tons of coal. The building committee
was Instructed to investigate the mat
ter and report at later meeting.
