 Councilman Charles C. Warner explained that the plans to go ahead with the Gold Creek improvement would take care of the complaint of lack of sidewalks and street ia cilities in that section.
 Councilman Warner, speaking of the Gold Creek improvement, ex- plained that channel would be dredged for the waters in order that such another flood as that which destroyed property last year might be confined He said that a clear title was being secured for a right ofway fifty feet wide, and that any

The verdict in favor of this outline for the coming year and the election of former Councilman w. George Johnson to the vacancy on the Coun- cil caused by the death of Council man J. H. Montgomery were the principal features of last nights meeting.
 When it came to the proposal to replank the whole of Willoughby Avenue, requiring 4S,O0O feet of lumber and to cost about $2,000, the Councilmen thought the matter might rest for time, in order, as one expressed it, ''to see where we are at"
