CEMETERY PUT UP TO THE CITY
At the publia meatiQff lut night at
the oity hall to bear the report of th?
committee on the matter of the cem
etery there wa* a good attendance.
Dr. Watson reported directly to the
point He stld that of the routes
under consideration that from Ninth
street was by far the least expensive
to reach the ground on the other tide
of the river. A bridge could be built,
one span, with approach supported by
piles, and the road built to the ground
for, as he figured it, J3.597.40. He de
c red the Sixteenth street road was
not feasible, as it would coat consider
to reiuforc-: the old bridge and the
oo?t of the road would be mush more
and tbe route looger.

named by tbe chair to frame up a peti
tion setting forth the facts brought be

cil to take steps to secure the ground
referred to. This was adopted and Dr.
Watson and Messrs. Whlttler, Frank
Wilson, Wurzbacher and Mrs Stine
baugh were appointed as sucb commit
tee.
