The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-09-04

The above advice was given by the
council last evening. The first para
graph is obligatory. Sweeping orders
have been given to arrest anyone
breaking the traffic ordinance in any
form. The council says that people
have been warned enough and that If
they do not heed right away, the po-
lice judge will be doing a roaring
business.
The second bit of advice is given
for the good of those having side
walks. If the walks harden gradually
they will not crack, otherwise they
may.
The meeting opened with a protest
from M NJ. MurtaHgh against build
ing five foot walk as an extension
of the long four foot waulk in front
of his place He said it would look
better and save him the cost of a foot
of walk for 265 feet. The City Attor-
ney,John e. Davies, pointed out the
fact that it was too late to protest,
and added that the saving would be
infinitismal, as the money for the
whole district was bulked together,
and Mr.. Murtaugh would not save any
more, relatively, from the reduction
than some owner on the other side of
the district.
E. II. Sizer, of the Handy KNOCK,
was present to protest keeping his pop
corn stand off the street, saying It
ran only four hours a day. 1t de-
veloped that there was some obscur-
ity about the ordinance, so the mat
ter was referred to the city attorney.
Edward Bolz was in to protect about
the water invasion of his property at
23S Second street east, during the
winter. The street and alley commit
tee was instructed to see what could
be done about it.
Mrs. John e. White, of the Women s
Federation of County Clubs, appeared
before the council with a request that
an effort be made to secure another
hitching rack for horses of farmers,
not too far out. The old grounds have
! been abolished. The public health
committee was instructed to see what
could be done.
Thomas Robertson wanted to know
what about permanent quarters and
was informed that the matter had
been disposed of at the last meeting,
by means of indefinite postponement.
H. S. Palmatier brought up the old
Elizabeth boulevard controversy that
has been running Indefinitely for
some years. The people on the north
side contend that the boulevard Is a
street and those on the south side that
it is an alley. The north siders now
want their side treated as if a street
and let the other ones regard it as an
alley. This would mean a wide side
walk on one side, with parking, and
other modern devices, and nothing
specially on the other, and there
wouldn't be much "other" left.
The matter was referred to the
street committee with power to take
proper steps. The question raised by
Mr.. Palmatier, was that of installing
a crossing, so that a sidewalk could
be constructed.
The old barn on Lot No. 6, Block 1913
in the south part of town, which does
not seem to have any owner and
which has caused more runs of the
fire department than any other edifice
in town, was declared a nuisance and
ordered removed.
Street lights were ordered in on
Locust street at Fourth and Fifth ave-
nues and on the corner of Fair and
Dewey avenues.
c. II. Helmer was allowed $6S91 on
his contract for putting in sidewalks
A petition for a sidewalk in Elm
Park was tabled.
