FIRST St. SO. MAY
BE PAVED WIDER
Is FEET PUT IN BY STATE DEEM.
ED INSUFFICIENT BY SOME
QUICK ACTION NECESSARY

The question Of paving First street
east wider than the Is feet put in by
the state was discussed at the regular
meeting Monday evening by mum.
Der Of property owners on that street
1t was brought out that particularly
on that street south of Broadway the
traffic is, heavy and is constantly in
creasing and therefore an 1S-foot pave
ment would be inadequate. The prop
erty owners on First street southeast
were advised to submit a petition for
this additional paving if they desire it.
G. B. Campbell stated that while
First street is in it's present unpassable
state it should be closed to traffic, as
tourist cars get onto it unaware of
its condition. Street Commissioner Bat.
ters said that detour signs have been
erected and the street and intersections
closed but they have been torn down.
A receipt from City Treasurer Vertin
for $1,000 in fines turned in by Judge
Randall was ordered filed.
A permit was granted to the Vasaly
Realty Company to repair the roof of
the frame building occupied by the
Broadway Variety store.
A resolution was passed allowing the
first estimate of $l658.7S on the First
street northeast sewer.
1t was decided to purchase a Ford
son tractor for street work. The street
committee had power to purchase same.
Frank Griffith appeared and asked
the council to make some provision
whereby the public has recourse against
licensed plumbers for faulty work. He
said that under the present license pro-
visions only the city has any recourse.
Mayor Bergheim stated that the
council can by ordinance require certain
qualifications Of plumbers and inspec-
tion by the city engineer.
On motion by Alderman Peterson, the
president was instructed to appoint a
committee of three to draft an ordi-
nance. Aldermen Geo. Peterson, Nelson
