man, who can devote his time during
the day as we'll, should be engaged by
the city for the short bathing season.

rooms are in need of fixing and that
there is one shed on the river bank
which could be fixed up as girl g
dressing room at very little cost.
The aldermen felt as Mr.. Brown did

ion that the life of Otto Lauermann
might have been saved had a man with
a boat been on hand at the time. On
motion by Alderman George Peterson,

point committee to make the neces-
sary repairs at the beach and to try
and locate competent man to take
charge of the beach, he to be given po-
lice powers and to be provided with a
boat and with other necessary equip
ment. The committee will report at the
next meeting except in regard to re-
pairs, which they are authorized to
make. Aldermen George Peterson, Ray
mond, Moeglein and Hogle were ap'
pointed on this committee.

the main outlet for any other sewers tt
