half of the cost of a pavilion, but the
council members were NOT inclined to
act on this appropriation at this time
| as they felt that they wanted to know
how the finances of the city were situat-
ed first. LaFond was the only alder
man who opposed the councils going
on record as favoring the pavilion.
The committee will likely appear be-
fore the council again tonight to ask
for the appropriation.
John Vertin called the councils at
tention to the fact that refuse, which
should have been deposited On the city
dumping grounds, has been dumped on
private property belonging to a WON
an living in Missouri, and that the
land has been practically ruined by ~.
He said that she was Offering the land
for sale at a very low price but that
she could not dispose OF it for this
reason. He suggested that if the city
was in need Of additional dumping
grounds the land, consisting of 9 acres,
could be purchased from this woman
at $50 per acre. In any event, he
said, the matter should be Investigated
by the council to see what can be done.
The matter was referred to the public
health and safety committee for IN
vestigation and the committee was
asked to report at the next meeting.
The matter of street sprinkling was
taken up but was left until the next
meeting and the city clerk was in
structed to publish notice to owners
of AUDITING property to be present at
the next meeting and express their
| choice as between water and Oil for
sprinkling the streets. Street Com:
missioner LaFond stated that ne had
figured out that the cost of sprinkllng
the present district would be $268:l2
for one application and $S1O.5l TOR
three applications. This is a tribe
more than the cost of sprinkling with
| water.
The park committee was authorized
| to have a pump put in at the park,
also to fix up the drivewavs in the
park and the corral and to get a pair
Of deer, the total expenditures tor all
of this not to exceed 500. Mr.. Pc
terson said that two deer could be &C.
cured for about $35.
Adjournment was taken to this eve
ming.
