MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT

AT the last meeting of the city
council property owners on the main
business street on the south side of
the railroad track we're ordered to
remove the present dilapidated side
walks, and take down the wooden
awnings. The sidewalk will be re-
placed with concrete. This improve
ment has long been needed and it is
only wonder the town has not had
a heavy damage suit growing out of
injuries sustained from falls upon
the shocking walks that have been
disgracing that section of the town.
The planking is worn to shreds. patch
ed in numerous places with pieces of
boards of all thicknesses and all di-
mensions, or pieces of tin. In many
places even repairs have not been
made and gaping holes invite sprained
|, ankles or broken legs. Then there
are numerous loose boards that go
| lflippyty-flap as one treads over them,
a constant menace to the cuticle that
covers the shins. New sidewalks in
that section will be great and at
tractive improvement. They will add
to the value of abutting property and
will prove great benefit in increas-
| ing business along the street why
when the change is once made the
property owners will regret that the
Improvement had not been insisted
upon years ago.

SAFEGUARDING THE LYRIC

The fire at the Orpheum theater
Saturday evening aroused the town
council to the danger that menaced
patrons OF the moving picture houses
OF this place, and at the meeting Mon
day night resolution was passed
condemning the Lyric, and suggesting
certain changes necessary to make the
building safe for the public. Mr..
Stoltz recognized the justice of the
demand and at once inaugurated the
improvements that the council requir-
ed. In the future entrance to the
machine room will be from the out
side. The room will be lined with as
bestos, as it has been, for that matter
and the only opening toward the in
terror of the house will be the orifice
through which the pictures are pro-
jected. and that will be protected with
blind that can be closed in case of
accident. Two large double doors
opening outward have been cut into
the sides of the building. giving free
and easy exit. With the changes un-
der way the Lyric will be as safe as
any moving picture house in the state
and people can attend the entertain
ments without apprehension of any
serious danger in the event of fire.

The clerk was instructed to see all
parties that are behind with licenses
and order the licenses paid at once
or the business for which licenses
have not been purchased discon-
| tinued.
The following resolution was read
and on motion was passed.
Whereas, The Town Council have
personally examined the wooden side
walks and awnings on the south side
of the Great Northern Railroad right
of way and have found that these side
walks and awnings are in such a con-
dition as to endanger the public in
travelling along said sidewalks and
