taken by the claimant was not
brought out last night.
The mayor and city clerk were
instructed to pay the paving and
sanitary sewer tax on the ground
purchased as the site for the new
fire station at the corner of Seven

to draw an ordinance, raising the

BY vote of the council, the mayor
and city clerk were authorized to
pay Cowen Brothers, bridge con-
