lOUS COMPLAINTS

4uc AOWH DOATu IHct NoiiooS w
ening to transact the business for
the month with all members and the
mayor present.
A number of citizens and CON-
mittees were present to present pc
titions of various kinds. fiji
! Mr.. Slusher, who owns property
on Grand View Avenue, was there
to protest against the beet dump OF
the Great Western Sugar Company,
which is being erected on the rail-
road right Of way in front of his
house, just across the street.
He was supplemented by Fred
Specht, who complains that the
scale house will be in front Of his
place and altho he has not as much
grievance as Mr.. Slusher, both be-
lieve it is detriment and will de-
preciate the value of their property,
because of the unsightly appearance
and the noise and dust while in OPP
Grafton eThe Board did not feel
that they could prevent the erect
ion of the structure nor the opera
ton of it unless it could be declar
ed nuisance. They felt certain
that the Sugar Company would use
all possible diligence to conduct the
business SO as to cause as little an
oyance as possible, and they furth-
err agree to park the surroundings
so that it will not be unsightly.
A fire hose agent was present to
tell the Board that the town needs
800 to 500 feet of new fire hose
at about $1.2O per foot and going
higher. Matter left to fire and wa
ter committee.
Fire Chief Richter was there to
ask that the Board put up the $50
forfeiture required by the commit
tee of the Littleton-Englewood four
day tournament, which the Board
agreed to do, with the understand
ing that the local department would
be sure to be on hand and enter the
contests, in which case the money
is to be returned.
A committee composed of j. F.
White, chairman, and Walter ?.
Smith, r. L. Newton, Wc-.ey STALE,
ind C. v. jackson, from the Com
munity Club, were present to re-
quest that plans be made to begin
the improvement of McIlvoy Park
at once, and offering the cooper
ton of the Club in every way posi-
IDLE. The Board was disposed to
accept the suggestion, and pointed
out the reason for the delay, which
was the fact that the appropriation
made for park purposes would me-
be available until 1921, and that the
money already spent without appro-
priation seemed to be about all the
Board thought best to put in until
the appropriation money is foTtf-
coming. However, they decide r.
strain u point in that direction and
it was agreed that if the Commun-
ity Club wished to help, and 'he
young people wanted to go in and
lay out tennis courts, ETC., they
would have the park architect, Mr..
Dc Boer, come out and stake off
the ground SO they would know how
to lay out the courts, and the call
ing of q special park day when the
citizens will volunteer to help lay
out walks and gravel them and put
the ground in readiness for seeding
may be set.
The Community Club committee
also requested that a speed ordi-
nance limiting the speed of autoists
TO Is miles per hour, and also max
ing necessary to keep their mufflers
closed while in the city limits. Signs
showing the speed limit were also
included in the request. The mat
ter was turned over to the ordi-
nance committee to prepare one.
When it is completed and published
q special officer will authorized to
arrest all offenders and see to il
that they are duly prosecuted and
fined without discrimination.
Complaints also were made that
the young men and boys Of the
town have evidently have forgotten
that there is an ordinance agains;
using the sidewalks for bicycles, and.
they act as tho they had full rights
and demand that pedestrians get
out of their way. There is no ques-
ton but that several arrests will be
made IL the offenders names are
turned in TO the Town Marshal.

about getting water for his new
