er would he $10,810. He recommended
that concrete pipe be used in prefer
ence to clay tiling on the sewer in
First alley and A. avenue, as the -
former is stronger and more durable.
The grades established, on the dif
ferent. streets will in most cases re
quire more fill than excavation, which
he considers less expensive. .Mr.
Dunlap says the grades from the dock
®nd the depot are rather heavy, bu:
could be decreased for very litle ex
pense. He advises that nothing be
done to the present retaining wall on
the west side of First street, until th ■
I
city has devised means of securing
the money, as it would cost $12,000
to replace it with a permanent con
crete wall. The cost of ^ wooden wall
held in pntpe'liy piling and deadmen
will cost approximately $2,000.
An ordinance passed final reading
under a suspension of the rifles, fix
ing the salary of the chief of police
at $150 per month and the patrol
man $125.
The ordinance empowering the
municipal court to try civil eases was
tabled.
Chief Murray reported twelve ar
rests during the past month.

cil sat as an equalization board to

tion of personal and real property,

ered. Tile board will meet an hour
