ing Service of St. Cloud and Mr.. Siv-
erts representing the Pillsbury Engin-
GERS of Minneapolis, were at the meet
ing and told Of the merits of their pro-
positions to do the engineering for this
city. No action was taken at this

Several residents, Of First street
southeast were at the meeting and a dis
cussion as to how wide that street
should be took up about two hours Of
the council s time, at the conclusion Of
which President Hall had to get up and
in fatherly way ask the parties to
the discussion to forget personal griev-
ances, shake. hands, get together and
agree on something and then bring it
before the council. The matter all
came up as result of the council pass
ing an ordinance boulevarding the west
side of First street and thus narrowing
it down to 3S feet. Ed. Hennen and j.
w. Berg protested against this ordin-
ance, saying that l00-foot street. is
none too wide. w. H. Ryan also want
ed the street made wider and he offer
ed to make a contract with the city to
make the fill in the ravine and put in
a concrete retaining wall there, for 49,
co.,. Those who. favored leaving the
street just as it now is were DR.. w. II.
K. Meyer, George Schroeder, A. F. Kos
losky, j. L. Battles, H. Dingman. Those
who opposed the ordinance thou ght that
it: would give part of the street to the
property owners on that side of the
street and this was one Of the reasons
they objected to it.
Alderman Brown, who sponsored the
ordinance, stated that there was moth
ing in this ordinance that would give
any part of the street to the AUDITING
property. 81 IL
The question of putting in sewer on
this street was discussed but John Yer.
tin stated that he did not believe that
it could be done as so many already
have private sewers. He said that
there is sewer in the alley east of this
street part of the way, and it might, be
possible to extend this sewer. Nothing
was done in this matter. Z
Council adjourned to Monday eve
