Bert Cartilage, who lives in a rent
ed house across Fifth street south of
the Richmar, asked that the city cut
down four trees that stand out in
the street and completely shut out ,
the sun from his home. He SAYS the !
shade is such that the ground there
never dries, that several deaths have |
occurred in the house and that after
having gone to large expense to rem
ovate and calcimine the house he
would have to move unless the sun
were let in. City Marshal Campbell
suggested while on the subject that
the large tree in the center of the
sidewalk on hurry street, which is
dying and is much in the way, be
removed at the same time. The city
engineer was directed to investigate.
A leak in the gutter by the First
National bank was objected to by the
bank officials, who wrote a letter to
the mayor and council. This was
ordered repaired.
