At the meeting of Council Wednes day evening, when the question of the poor conatruction of Eleventh atreet waa up for discussion, the question as to who was rettpomtlble for the narrow portion of the atreet waa asked. It aeema that a portion of the atreet la 48 feet wide, while It should have been. CO. In consequence the sidewalk, drops down aa the dirt supporting It washes away, and the work of raising it back up must be done over again. Had the atreet been made a few feet wider than - the etreet - proper - no - trouble would be experienced now with sink ing walks from the street washing away. But tha trouble ia that the atreet u but 48 feet wide and It look aa if it never would be right until the city If done now the city must foot the bill and not the property holder com pletes the Improvement and makea the atreet It full width. Tbia led to one or two Councilmen asking aa to whose fault it waa the street waa not made wide enough at the atart. The reply waa made that It waa the abutting property holder'a fault In that they came in and insisted that Council make, the contract accord ing o the englneer'B apeclflcationa. Then It wad claimed, too, that the con tract waa not to be found ao that no one could be certain that the atreet waa made according, to plana and apeclflcationa. Saturday morning the contract was fcyind and Councilman Burke looked it over to satisfy himself aa to who waa at fault. He found that the con tract waa for a 48 foot atrip at certain placea.' and theae are the placea giv ing trouble. He further found that Council entered Into the contract and waa In fact responsible for the present wUilh tit the atr L Councilmen receive "no pay 'for work done for the city. In conse quence these men find it necessary to apend part of their time earning a living for themselvea and can't give their time all to the city. Council, re lying on the City Engineer for what waa right did. evidently, go ahead and make a contract for a street that la too narrow. The people did 'clamor for a quick beginning on the Improve ment because they wished It completed before winter should set lo. Through all these Irona being In the fire cer tain of them seem to have been burned, and naturally the public la forced to settle. And it la a hard matter to aay who, under the circum atancea, ia really to be blamed. It ia certain that the atreet aa It now atands ia a bad piece of business. Either the atreet muat be widened out, the contractor and 'engineer aay, or It must be-rip-rapped if tt ia to Btand, The ralna of winter are playing havoc with the walk because of the Insta bility of the street and things are growing worse. One thing Is certain, present Coun cilmen are learning aa to what can and what cannot be done. The pro perty holders are dissatisfied with the work but find no way to remedy me evil except In widening of the street or putting atone on the fill. The present Engineer promise that nothing like it shall occur In the fu ture. The city must complete the work for it la the duty of the corpora tion to keep up the atreeta once they have been accepted from the contrac tor. The work haa been accepted, and ao far It aeema that the contrac tors have done aa they agreed but that the city did not have enough agreed to. Now that the contract ia found there la likely to be a warm discussion at the next meeting of Council. WILLING WORKERS Bible Clae Meete With tha Teacher, Mra. Grant Old.
