MUCH ROUTINE
At an adjourned meeting of tlie city
council, held last night, the street
committee reported that the road
leading from D street to the ocean
dock has had some minor repairs by
having several loads of gravel hauled
there and the chuck holes filled in,
but as the gravel was of a poor
nature it was decided not to haul any
more until a suitable gravel could be
procured. This led to the question of
placing the entire road in an A1
condition. Mr. J. L. Galen was pres
ent and spoke on 'the subject and
suggested that the city purchase a
rock crusher. Mr. Corser had pre
viously suggested to the street com
mittee the need of a different cross
ing at the end of the street where the
railroad crosses, suggesting that the
city build a road from the top of the
present plank road around the side
of the hill to the crossing. From there
the railroad company would build an
overhead crossing across the tracks
and an incline down to the approach
to the dock. The street committee
were instructed to ascertain the cost
of a rock crusher with the idea of
-crushing the rock encountered in
building the proposed road and using
it on the road from there to D street.
The private sewer running under
Burkhart alley was reported as hav
ing been repaired and now in work
ing order, the lateral sewer was com
pleted and work progressing on the

regarding the city dock question re
ported that they had a meeting with
Mr. Corser who submitted a sketch to

on the question. After some discus
sion the matter was laid over until
Mr. Hazelet’s return to the city when
the matter would be taken up with
him. " ^
