There has been some complaint of
late as to the number Of persons who
are doing livery service with their au-
tos without taking out license. This
is undoubtedly due to the high license
fee imposed upon iverymen, which is
$50. Dewey Anker, who intends to op-
crate a livery, appeared before, the
council in regard to the matter and
stated that he was willing to pay fee
but did not wish to take out license
if other persons could run a livery with
out doing so. The city attorney stat
ed that fee of $50 should be imposed
upon all but the fee should be regulat-
ed as to the number Of cars operated
by a person in livery service. After
some discussion it was decided to ap-
point committee to go over the hack
mans license ordinance to see if it
would be we'll to have it amended. Fol-
lowing is the committee that was ap-
pointed: H. J. LaFond, N. j. Peterson
and Harry Hamm.
A representative Of the Bradley En-
gineering Service Of st. Cloud, Mr..
Borrowman, appeared before the coun'
Gil in regard to doing engineering work
for the city. The proposition Of the
company is to draw plans and make
specifications for paving or any other
engineering work to be done by the
city. The company does this work at
compensation of $4o0 year. They
have circuit Of towns in which this
work is being done. IF any one job Of
construction is to cost over $4,000 the
company charges a per cent Of the con.
struction cost. The company viii send
engineers here on two weeks notice
and furnishes bond. A copy Of the
company's contract was put on file with
the city clerk, the matter to be taken
up later. "
> Street Commissioner LaFond, in be-
half Of the Water Power company, ask
ed the council whether the company
should return the three loads of rock
which was borrowed from the city or
pay for the rock. The matter was left
to the disposal Of Mr.. LaFond. :"
MI. LaFond also asked that the city
purchase new wheel for the steam
roller. The new wheel must be added
before work can be started on the
streets in the spring. The city clerk
was instructed to get into communica-
tion with a company which can supply
the needed part.
The matter Of organizing q band in
the city for the coming season, which
has been of much moment Of late, was
taken up by the council and the gener-:
al opinion of each alderman was that
the city should have a good band, not
only to furnish music at concerts, but
also as an advertising medium Of the
city. -

council by w. E. Olson, secretary Of the
Board of Commerce, he presenting the
proposition Of Prof. w. j. Schiesman
