Oh The city council held busy SESSION
Monday night and considered num->
Der of matters, some old and num-
Der new. The soft drink licenses
again came up for consideration. Six
applications were on file for license,
three of which were granted-Archle
Ditty, George Abraham and Ole Cen
mes being the fortunate ones, while
A. Brose, Frank Gagnon and Pat
Stapleton were refused. The appll-
cations Of, Brose and Stapleton were
presented a second time having been
presented at previous session of the
council. Attorney p. J. Russell APP
peared for Brose and Stapieton, but
the license committee nor the coun-.
Gil as whole could not see their way
to change their decision.
= A resolution was presented to ap-
propriate 500 for the repair OF the
road on the east side of the lake from
Plant No. 2 of the Crookston Lum-
Der Co. to the end of the city limits
across the Mississippi bridge. Inc
resolution received no second and
was therefore not voted upon. =.
A resolution asking for the use OF
the front rooms of the city hall for
use of the Bemidji Labor League had
been prepared, but was Withdrawn
and will be considered at later
meeting. E. A. Barker, president OF
the Civic and Commerce association,
stated that he had invited the Labor
League to meetiin the Civic and COM
merce association rooms for its next
meeting. E&s-s$zs

landing be made at the FOOT II Third

plying the lake. The matter was re-
fe-red to the city engineer! A.
@7 A resolution was presented asking
for the construction of a highway
commencing at the intersection OF
Central avenue and Roosevelt streets
running west on Roosevelt street to
its intexection with Carpenter ave-
nue., thence southwesterly along Car
penter avenue to point where its
prolongation intersects the north and
south quarter line of section Il,
township Of Bemidji, then south on
the said north and south quarter line
to the center of section Fl. The reso-
luton was passed. This is the new
highway that is to be provided for
traffic coming in from the south OF
the city instead of the present route,
which is almost impossible on account
of the deep sand through which the
present road runs.
An ordinance was given its first
reading making some changes in the
present milk ordinance. Some of the
most important changes proposed is
that the application for licenses for
selling.nilk be made to the city clerk
instead of the board of health. Also,
that all hotels and restaurants must
serve mix in the same bottles as that
in which the milk was put up at the
dairy or pasteurization plants. Pro-
ducers Of milk having two cows or
less may be required by the board of
health to bring their COWS to a deslg-
mated place for the purpose of hav-
ing tuberculin test made. The milk
inspectors report showed in a sedi-
ment test, &c clean from sediment,
8 poor and 2 dirty. One milk pro-
Queer was ordered to stop selling
milk. s- 81

residents of Central avenue, Fifth
ward, for the extension Of cement
sidewalks on the east side of the
street from Fourth to Eighth streets.
The walks were ordered constructed.

mendations made. The report recon-
mended that the city clerk keep in an
indixed form a record of all different
classes of licenses and notify all per-
sons ten days before their license ex-
pires; that the tax-levying committee
