! special assessment for funds to
install . new surface drain system

vas rojected BY the city council
laet night In their regular session.
Petitions circulated the past
weeks against the proposition were
signed BY go property owners and
voters. Outside Of the business
district the petitions showed about
o6 per cent Of the residents as op-
posed to the new drainage plan. At
The meeting Of the city council two
weeks ago the board Of local i'm
movements had recommended to
the council that an ordinance for
levying . special assessment for
the new drain be adopted but the
council did not care to act until
they knew the feelings Of the prop
eIty owners regarding the project
II is probable that a new ordi-
nance will be presented in the near
future for the enlarging Of the
present surface drain in certain
parts Of the city needing it the
most. About $4,000 would have
been needed for the installation Of
the contemplated drain system. Fol-
sometime II has been evident thai
In certain sections Of the city a
more adequate drain is needed.
The report Of the meeting last
week Of the fire company was read
which stipulated the following az
new officers: d. e. Farr, presi.
dent; John Warnock, secretary
and J. w. Parkinson, treasurer.

vented the letting Of grading and
the bridge contracts on this stretch
Of road was removed when Mr..

pieces of land west of this city that
are required for widening Of two
corners and increasing the width of
