Alderman Bahlau, chairman Of the
water and lights committee, urged the
members of the council to watch the
lights in Cherry street, between Elev-
enth and Sixteenth avenues, which
have been installed as tests. They are
placed in the centre of the street, fur

being used by the city, and Alderman
Bahlau said the service furnished by
such lights might be studied, that the
aldermen would understand conditions
when the time comes to prepare a new
contract for city lighting.
The council granted permission to
the Union Seed & Fertilizer company
to erect a temporary seed bin at its
plant at Fourth avenue and State
street, to handle the great amount of
cotton seed it is receiving, providing

rates on adjoining property and that
the structure be removed in four
months.

of the cemetery committee to sell to
the Eagles lodge certain lot in Bell
wood cemetery at so per cent of it's
present price, the lodge having decid-
ed to beautify the lot and erect
monument, and to use it for burying
such of their dead members who have
no families nor family plots.
