When thestreet grade on Washing ton avenue betw:en Fir and Eighth was established some Ave years ago, me wrong grade was given the build ers and to Mrs. Zuber, the owner of the (skating' rink building. The proper -grade, which Is now being established and sidewalks built along it, brings the walk a lttle over a foot above the sill of the front entrance to the building. The trouble was discovered yester day when a crew of men commenced to . lay a walk for the J. W, White proper ty, the vacant block used as a wood storage space. The trade established there would not conform with the one established to build the rink on erable amount of attention. Mayor Richardson brought the question up and though the matter was finally left to the street committee, the opinions expressed Indicate that the city will buy a sprinkler rather than hire the work done. . Another matter that occupied the at tention of the council was the' problem of planting trees and rearranging the jagged tree 1 alignment on certain streets. One specific instance of where sidewalk will hit the tree line was on Adams in front of the S. F. Richard con property. The trees are matured and to cut them down seems hardly the proper course, said the councilmen, until the property owner had been con sulted with. The nrohlem will hrnns-ht up at a subsequent meeting. Will Plant Park Trees. Under this discussion Councilman Dunn Dunn inaugurated the movement to have trees planted around the city property at Fourth and Pennsylvania. The tree line of Pennsylvania will be made to conform with the proposed tree line along that street, uniform in size, kind and location. The necessary shade trees will be purchased by the city to get that work done properly.
