What with many of the city streets in barbarous condition, a lack of good sidewalks, a water system that goes on strike sometimes when most needed, and a sewerage system that sadly needs improvement, the new city council can doubtless see some busy days ahead. One of the big boilers for the new sawmill was brought to the millsite Thursday, and the other will be brought today, both being hauled from Foots Creel^, where {used on the Champlin dredge. Much of the machinery is on the ground, including saws, hauls, chains and shafting. The petition for a new road from the Sardine creek district into Gold Hill was presented to the county court in session yt Jacksonville Tuesday and was set aside because it was not pro perly presented.
