The above is the street improvement
program as adopted by the city council,
following a rather bitter argument over
the merits of the Tarvia proposal
which was attacked by Aldermen Nog-
el, Drumm, Thorisen and others The
program was finally adopted after II
had been decided to vote on the Taryia
and concrete separately, it being charg-
ed by Vogel that the program was
brought in with the Taryia proposal
linked up with the concrete in such
manner as to give the aldermen no
chance to vote against it if they de
sired the concrete On the motion to
adopt the Taryia program as recon-
mended by the committee on streets,
Vogel, Thorisen and Drumm voted no.
Then followed the motion to adopt the
concrete program which was carried
with only Drumm dissenting vote
The request of the vocational train
ing school board fled with the council
at the special meeting a week ago ask
ing for $4,000 with which to purchase
machinery and other equipment, was
granted by unanimous vote.

to men convicted under the Mulberger
act but not to men convicted within
one year under the Nolstead act"

Clerk Arthur Zander from the attorney
general at Madison in reply to re
quest forwarded in connection with the
controversy in the council over the
granting of licenses.
