KEEPS IT
Hukill Took Bridge Because
It Was His
D. N. Hukill was before the council
lost night and explained that he took
the Sixteenth avenue bridge (or fire
wood because he built it and paid tor
all the material that went into it, and
regarded it as his own. In fact, he
said, that when [he, in the long
ago, sought to have the city improve it
ne was notified that the bridge did not
belong to the city and it would have
nothing to do with it. He says at that
time he told the officials if that were so
he would take the bridge down when
he was through with it. He had con
structed it to connect with bis chute
down the side of the hill.
The council accepted the explana
tion and gave the committee on public
works and publio property time In
which to build a new bridge across
from the railroad track, on Broadway,
to the west side of that street at Six
teenth avenue.
Those present at the meeting last
night were Messrs. Boughton, Britt,
McGrath and Shaw. In the absence of
the mayor, E. J. Shaw presided.
The health and police committees re
ported that E. Maher would be so ftr
recovered that he would be discharged
from the care of the city in another
week.
The committee on public works and
public property was authorized to put a
telephone in the residence of the chief
of police at an additional cost of $2.
The council refused to accept a prop
osition of the Boa'.-d of Trade to build a
10-foot sidewalk from the east side of
the Board of Trade to State street, if the
city would build one on State street
from Sixth avenue to the alley between
Sixth and Fifth.
The committe on fire and water was
authorized to provide the fire warden
with a sled with which to transport bis
tools ar.d paraphernalia from one place
to another.
