cessful bidders for the sewer work, was expected in town the following day and would meet with the council on his arrival.

 The street and alley committee rec commended, and the council approved, the improvement of large number of alley crossings in various parts of town. Street Superintendent Frank Rich | mond was irstructed to proceed as soon as possible with the permanent improvement of North Beaver street, which is probably in the worst con dition of any street in town. It was roughly estimated that the work on that street, from Elm avenue north, would cost $1 200 or $500. In con. nection with this work it was stated that the property owners along the street would be glad to contribute a part of the cost in order to get the street improved at once.
 The paving of the Old Trails High way within the city limits was again discussed and the urgency of getting the matter before the government was emphasized. Nothing definite was done on the matter. It was stated that the Santa Fe engineer for this division was of the impression that, m case the assessment plan was adopted for raising the funds, the Santa Fe would likely agree to the improve ments, and that when the city got its plans and figures ready he would then come back to Flagstaff and go ovel it with them. When he was here he also urged the city to procure perma, nent easements of Phoenix avenue and other places where streets went over railroad property. In this connection it was stated that the Santa Fe wai holding the plot of ground south ,oi the tracks and west of the present de pot, as site for new depot.
