NO BARN UNTIL
WINTERS OVER
DECISION OF COUNCIL is
MADE AT MEETING
MONDAY

Barns seemed 10 De the cnleI SUD-
ject of the adjourned meeting of tho
city council last Monday evening,
session that was marked by quick
attention TO the matters presented.
Much was accomplished in the hour
between the call to order and adj
Journment.
The building of the proposed munic-
ipal barn has been postponed at least
until next spring. Sealed bids for its
construction received by the board of
public works were reported to the
council and its opinion was that the
work could be done for less money
in the summer than called for in the
bids submitted, which ranged from
twelve to seventeen thousand dollars.
Upon a motion by Alderman Morisette,
all bids were rejected and the matter
was laid over until spring.
Ask Rejection
Another matter of proposed barn
was brought up in a petition signed
by about thirty property owners in
the north part OF the city. The pe.i-
ton stated that A. G. Heyer had pur-
chased lot east of the corner Of
Sixth and Bridge streets and planned
to erect barn and stock yards for
the purpose of horse and cattle trad |
ing. The petitioners claimed that such |
a building would be a nuisance and |
detrimental to health and asked the |
council to refuse permit for its cen
struction. The petition was referred |
TO the committee on judiciary and the |
health committee.
Mayor Platter called attention to |
the need for some sort of coming sys-
tenn in the city to take care OF prob
lens OF buildings similar to the one
under consideration. Many building
questions, he said, come up b Afore the
board OF public works and they are
difficult of stlItion because the city
has no ordinance covering such cases.
He proposed the framing of an ordi-
nance that would regulate the types of
buildings that could be put up in the
city so that no one could build any
kind of structure he cared to In anx
part OF the city.
Alderman Kiefer moved tbs appoint
ment of committee OF three to in
yestigate the matter OF coming tho city
and report at a later meeting. The
motion was carried and the mayor ap-
pointed Alderman Kiefer, Borowitz
and Gehring.
Frank Deichsel had proposed to buy
he vacant lot owned by the city on
Gallon street. west of the city barn
which occupies a corner al Gallon
itreet and First avenue. He stated
hat he intended to construct a bust
less building. The matter was laid
'ver to the next meeting after con-
'iderable discussion about the barn.
6nTD1 N U1 n
bought the barn should be moved To
ne corner of Alexander street and
f1rst avenue thus providing space for
market square on the Gallon street
'orner. He said that the barn was
somewhat OF an eyesore and should
De moved. Alderman Zielsdorf said
mat ne had heard of no objections
% the barn but that IL would be a
sood thing to move IL and in time the
'lty could doubtless sell the property
! now occupies for good sum. Fur
her action was left for the next meet
ng.
Wait Until Election
Inc Judiciary committee had the
matter OF rearranging the ward lines
inoer consideration and reported a
,lan II considered wise Ii suggested
arrangement after the spring cleo
ION and for the present the supplying
II each ward with an election booth
OF every 100 voters these To be
suaged by the number of voters regis
erred at the last general election.
Mayor Platter explained that the ward
ines could not be changed within four
months preceding an election and that
mere was no longer time before cleo
ION to prepare for change. The re-
port OF the committee was approved
and accepted.
The committee on public propertv
recommended that the city lease the
I'D Columbia school building to the
'rustees of the First Presbyterian
church for a period of ten years with
me privilege of renewing the lease
at the end of that time IL the build
ing is kept in repair. Alderman Boro-
WITT moved that the board of public
works advertise for sealed bids on
This property. The motion was car
ried and no action was taken on the
report.
