Do You Drink Beer?
As a business proposition, it pays to trade at
home, conditions, being equal as to the value
offered; but when you can get a better article at
home on as good terms there is an added reason
for patronizing the home institution.
If you do, then why not drink the best? Beer
is not a necessity, but a luxury, and if you jmust
have a luxury of that kind, then get an article that
is absolutely pure, and which is made at home by

REPAIR TO BE
UNDERTAKEN
Council Will Order the Improve
ment of Franklin Avenue in
the East End.
CITY BEARS PART OF COST
Ordinance Laid Over For Two Weeks
So That Provision May Be
Mad for Proper Slope
in Big Cut on Street.
An ordinance providing; for the im.
lrovement of Franklin avenue, from
Thirty-sixth street to a point 40 feet
east of the west line of Forty-third
street, was presented at last night's
meeting of the council. The measure
was offered by Mr. Burns, chairman
of the street committee. It provides
that the improvement must be com
pleted by December 1, 1904.
This Is the Improvement over the
probable undertaking of which there
has been so much dissension. , At the
present time the east end Is almost cut
off from cummunlcatlon with the rest
of the city because of the decay of the
leading thoroughfare extending east
ward from Thirty-sixth, and It has
been said by Mayflr Suprenant that,
without Improvement of the street,

communication would have to be car
ried on by means of boat. The re
pair has been, regarded by members of
the eouncll as absolutely essential,
while property owners have placed ev
ery possible obstacle In the way of tke
proposed movement.
In explanation, Mr. Burns said ke
thought it best to effer the measure
at this time and flx tk date for com
pletion of the work a year elf, so tkat
the Improvement oeuld be made at tke
least possible cost.
Mr. Hansen favored the improve
ment, but he seriously doubted the
feasibility of cutting the street
through the mill on Franklin avenue.
This cut will be SO feet deep and 30
feet through, and Mr. Hansen said he
was satisfied the council would experi
ence a repetition of the Eighth street
difficulty unless proper allowance were
made for a slope, Intimating that the
sidewalks ind main thoroughfare
would soon be covered with earth. He
added that the Improvement would cost
the city between $2000 and $2500.
Mr. Morton said It was customary
to secure the consent of property cwn- j
evs before undertaking street lmprove-
menta, but he thought the council
would never make any headway In the
east end if the. usual rule were ob
served.
Mr. Nordstrom went after Mr. Han-
sen for saying that the city would be
compelled to bear part of the cost of
the work. The First ward, he pointed
out, had cost the city lots or money
for ptrcH imnrovemetrts, and he be
lieved the objection to the east end im
provement on this ground hardly fair,
He added that the Third ward nad but
on." Bti-eet, and felt the city should
make every reasonable effort to open
it. ' .:.
Mr. Hansen replied that he was anx
ious only to secure improvements of a
substantial nature; unless precaution
were observed, the proposed new street
would soon be covered up In the big
cut. If provision were macie to pro
tect the street, he would be glad to
vote for, the ordinance.
City Attorney Smith suggested that
the ordinance go over for a meeting,
that the matter of the cut might be
investigated and attended to. Street
Superintendent Kearney said he be
lieved the' eouncll should make previs
ion for proper slopes, which would be
fully one-to-one,' He advise the
eouncll "to loek eut far this slepe
business."
A motion to pass tke ordlnanee un
der suspension ef the rules had been
offered, but was withdrawn, and the
hill we.it ever for twe weeks. As seen
as the ordinance is altered se as te
provide for a safe cut, it will be passed.
The cost of the improvement, as es
timated by City Engineer Tee la the
plans and specifications, is as fel- .
lows:
Planking and stringers $2111 tl
Grading 6768 4
Clearing ...................... 50
Trestle 449 it
Surveying, etc ............... . 300 Ot
Boxes and gutters , . 220 00
Total $9399 5
The charter provides thnt street as
sessments can be levied against prop
erty for not to exceed 75 per cent ot
its assessed valuation, and the Frank
lin avenue Improvement must be paid
for in part by the city because of this
provlslou.
