sewer on the West side were discusse,
at length by the members of the cit,
council at meeting at the city hal
tuesday evening, and it was finally de
c1ded to appropriate to the sewer com
mlttee the sum of $500 as an esti
mate for the expenditures for the frs,
week, after which bills for materia
and the payroll will be presented to the
council weekly and allowed. The sewe,
committee was given power to handle
the disbursements in such manner a.
they see fit.
Alderman N. j. Peterson made a mo-
tion covering the above and it carried
unanimously. In detail his motion was
as follows: "That the sum of $l,5O(
be appropriated and allowed to the
sewer committee as an estimate upor
materials delivered and work undertak
EN- for the construction of said sewer
to be disbursed in such manner as the
committee may determine, the commit
tee to submit to the council for approx
al and passage, weekly pay rolls anc
statements Of materials purchased and
other expenditures on account of sai6
Improvement; and the proper officials
are to draw warrants in favor of said
committee upon the permanent revolv
ing fund.-
The matter of devising means fo1
handling the disbursements on the sew.
er work was referred to the finance
committee at a previous meeting anc
this committee met and drew up al
ordinance which was presented at this
meeting. This, ordinance provided fo1
the establishing Of force account FUND

lures for a period of thirty days anG
transfer such amount to the force
amount fund, the council also to pre-
scribe the manner in and the officers OF
employees by whom such moneys wouli
be checked out of the fund for mater
ials and labor. The ordinance provided
