CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The council met last thursday nlght
pursuant to adjournment Monday
evening, which was Labor day. The Of
fetal proceedings are published on an
other page.
The Socialist members were in a
talking mood and debated and dis
cussed at great length nearly every
question that came up for conSidera-
ton, and the meeting lasted until II $50
O'Clock.
A resolution was introduced by
Thompson instructing the city attor-
ney to take action to compel the River
view Realty company to open Twenty
fourth street for the $50 feet north of
Meadow Lane where it has been closed
off. This is in the new Riveryiew ad-
dition.
A matter that has bObbed up of and
on for many years was killed by the
action of the committee whose report
recommending that the petition be de-
MED was adopted. The question was
the opening of North Twelfth street
from Michigan Avenue to New York
Avenue which would necessitate the
moving of the l.. X. PITT home and
buying a right of waythrough his prop
erty.
The committee on cemeteries and
parks filed list of prices for lots in
the new addition that has been laid out
The prices range from $50 to 500, de-
pending on location.
George Waldo and others submitted
a map of a new subdivision to be
known as Woods Park subdivision,
which has been plated east of the fair
grounds The matter was referred to
a committee and will come up later.
A claim presented by Frank Hend-
rickS for damages to his auto when he
struck an extending catch basin at
Fourteenth street was disallowed, the
city attorney ruling that the claim had
no legal standing. The bill amounted
to Sl6.75.
Street matters received great deal
of attention from the council and the
condition of some of the streets was
bone of contention that caused cOnsid-
cradle argument. Finally the city at
torney was instructed to draft an or
dinance which would provide penalties
for the use of tractors with lugs on
city streets and which would prohibit
entirely the use of tractors on certain
streets. An effort is to be made to open
up another street to the south on
Twelfth street. At present only Tenth
and Fourteenth streets run south of
Division street and as this. section is
building up it was deemed wise to open
up Twelfth street.
The committee on license in its re-
port recommended that sixty-iiye
saloon keepers who had made applica-
ton for license be granted the same.
The report was adopted. This was done
in accordance with ruling from the
attorney general that under the stat
utes license is required for the sale of
malt liquors and this includes near
beer. This means that grocery stores,
candy stores, ice cream parlors and so
on which have been selling near beer
will have to stop as the-city now has
as many saloons as are permitted un-
der the Baker law.
A resolution was passed prohibiting
the parking of automobiles on North
Eighth street between Commercial and
the bridge and on South Eighth street
between the bridge and Quay street.
The penalty for violation of the rule is
not less than S5 and not more than $40.
At the meeting the Public Utilities
commission filed new schedule of
rates for water consumers. The sched-
ule adopted is on the same plan as the
one adopted on electricity consump-
tion. 1t provides a charge of 22 cents
per 10 cubic feet for the first $500 feet,
the next 500, IL cents for the next 5000,
the mkt 500, l2 cents for the next 5000,
and for the next two 5000 feet and
everything over $4,000 feet will be 4
cents per 1000 cubic feet. The schedule
also provides for a minimum charge of
35 cents per month for monthly con
sumers and charge of 81 per quarter
