The regular meeting of the CITY
council will be held next Tuesday
evening and a number OF important
matter will be up for discussion.
Bids covering the erection of a
new bridge over Downs street near
the east end of the Memorial Boule-
ward Will be opened and the con-
tract awarded. The new concrete
bridge, when completed, will not

THIS particular location but will also
remove the five ton weight limit
which was in effect on the old struc-
ture. The Downs street bridge is
the last of the old style steel bridges
in the city and the material taken
from 1t will be used in making re-
pairs to some of the smaller bridges
IN the outskirts of the city.

the attention of the city fathers is

crty Of Martin Loughlin in the rear

ell several months ago in regard to
terminating the lease but as vet no
