CITY COUNCIL NOTES

SS@S@b&
The council met in regular session
Monday evening. Vogel was the only
absentee.
A parking ordinance was adopted.
1t applies only to Eighth street be-
tween Chicago and Washington streets
and it imposes time limit of thirty
minutes. Cars must not park within
thirty feet of a street intersection and
the two right wheels must be within a
foot of the curb. There was an un-
derstanding that the ordinance would
be adopted if the state highway COM
mission left Route II on Eighth
street.
A resolution to appropriate $4,000
for park band concerts and for support
of the Marine band was introduced by
Thompson, but it did not get back
from the finance committee to which
it was referred. The mayor vetoed a
similar resolution last year and is said
to have not changed his mind. There
is some suggestion that $1,000 appro-
priated last year and not used is avail
able. The matter will come up again.
The Rotary, KiwaniS and Lions clubs
were on record as favorng the appro-
priation.
The council readopted the dredging
resolution and voted the $4,000 nee
esSary to add to other funds available
to make the contract price. The work
will be done by the local firm of Me
Mullen & PITT. There were only three
mays" Staalson, Drumm, and Klus-
meyer
An appropriation of $4,000 was yot-
ed to build public comfort station
on the city hall lot facing Ninth street
The matter of the vacation of Di-
vision street eastward from Ninth
street and the old Sauk Trail, will be
taken up at the meeting on July 3.
These highways run through what is
now all high school site.
The motor bus ordinance was finally
adopted. 1t gives the present bus line
the exclusive use of three routes, one
to Riverview, one to the south city
limits, and third to Washington and
Twenty-fourth streets. 1t expressly
permits interurban lines excepting a
line paralelling the street car line to
Two Rivers. 1t is understood that with
the passage If this ordnance the street
car company will take over the bus line
and that there may be transfers from
one to the other.
A resolution was adopted providing
for a paving bond issue of 100000 for
the city's share of the years paving.
They will be 5 per cent bonds and will
be sold over the counter by the clerk.
The city attorney reported the de
cision of Judge Werner sustaining the
city's assessment of the properties of
the Cereal Products company in 1909.
There were on file the usual reports
of the city nurse, city building in
spector and city treasurer. The treas

The city built dock along the left
bank of the river between Park street
and the gas plant near Chicago street,
on the understanding that the riparian
owners would quitclaim a strip of 35
feet along the dock line to the city.
They have all done so except the own
ers of two lots and if negotiations fail
an attempt will be made to assess them
for the docking and condemn the 35
feet for public wharf purposes.
