The city council met last night in
regular semi-monthly session, with M.
Brock presiding as Mayor pro tern.
Streets and sewers were the princi
pal topics discussed.
Chairman Currier reported that
some of the rocks on D street be
tween Second and Third had been
cleared and the engineer had been
asked to set the stakes showing where
the street and Mr. Bratton’s property
joined and as soon as this was done,
the committee would take steps to
remove the present road from Mr.
Bratton’s property.
J. L. Galen was present and sug
gested to the council that inasmuch
as there had been considerable
money spent in making a first class
road to the lake and that the pres
ent old road was in bad shape, it
would be an excellent idea to confer
with the railroad company and see if
a road could not be built from the
new road to the old road somewher'
near the Lakeview Hotel. After dis
cussion the street committe were in
structed to confer with Superinten
dent Corser and Mr. Galen and see
what could be done in the matter.
The council’s attention was called
to the urgent need of having some
way of getting to the cemetery as
at present it was almost inaccessable.
The street committee were instructed
to ascertain in what manner and
what steps to take to acquire the
ground for a cemetery.
Councilman Brock again called the
council’s attention to the necessity
of having some boards placed on the
railing along the sidewalk on First
avenue between the postoffice and
Peyser’s tailor shop and which was
referred to the street committee.
The sidewalk question was again
discussed and the city clerk in
structed to notify in writing the sev
eral owners that the walks must be
repaired.
The sewer running under Burkhart
Alley was reported as having been
repaired where it was lpaking but
that the whole sewer was plugged up
and before digging the same up the
street committee wanted the sanction
of the council as this was a private
sewer. The street committee was in
structed to go ahead with the repairs
of this sewer and put it in working
order.
The main sewer was reported as
having been completed and work
progressing on the lateral and ex
tension. On the extension sewer the
council had decided to drop the sew
er six inches in front of Bartley How
ard’s place to enable him to make a
connection to the sewer from his
residence. Mr. Howard was present
and asked the council several ques
tions for information which were
answered.
The street committee reported that
the city engineer was working on the
plans and specifications for the ad
ditional city float. Regarding the
city dock question. City Attorney F.
H. Foster reported that he had seen
Supt. Corser of the railroad com
pany and that a conference would be
held by Mr. Corser with the special
