This. Council has a splendid record

mittee on Fire and Water may expend
a sum not exce lling $bHi. or in case

after all but a business institution.

enloleed requiring the stieet to be in

A pi-.olu' ion makiii'.' an ;i----tnciit
for the improv "ment of liireh -treet
from Fifty-Second to Fifty third -treet
was adopted.
A re-oliition granting the property
owners on Sixth street hetween limine
and Commercial streets permission to
improve the 'tri-et hy "ending ami
macadamizing, was adopted.
A rfHolution to improve Fourth street
from Ator to the railroad track wiifi
laid over until the next meeting in order
that an inquiry might he made to -ee if
the property would -tatid the a.-tsesa-rnent.
At the conclusion of the routine lmi
nem the council listened to a number of
speeche-i from members of the Shively
Improvement Club relating especially to
the offer of .Mr. Parker to give certain
land to the city provided the council
would express favorable opinion toward
the improvement of Irving avenue. The
property connects Irving avenue in Me,
dure with Irving avenue in
Shively's, and all the resident
along that street seem to desire
that the donation be accepted by the
city and that the entire, street be im
proved from Kighth street to Fortieth
street. President Osborn o ft ho Club,
Mr. Parker, and others expressed them
selves on the matter at length and as a
result a better understanding was peach
ed between the council and the club
members. It is likely that in view of
the almost universal desire of the Irv
ing avenue, property owners that the
street be improved, that, the council
will take some action on tin- matter
soon.
The council then adjourned.

The registrations for voting at. the
primaries closes on April In, and per
sons who register but. fail to declare
their politics cannot vole at the prim
aries. All voters who negirder before
April 10th do not have to register again
to vote at the .June election. Out: of the
110H voters who have registered, over
000 have declared their politics as lie
publican, the remaining number being
divided between Democrats, Socialists
and independents.
The indication are that about 2000
voters will n-gister for the prima rica,
and the result is problematical. It is
estimated tht there are fully 3000
voters in the county, ami those who do
not register are niosfly Democrat and
Socialists who expect to nominate tick
ets by petition or assembly. An as
sembly requires 100 voters to meet in a
mass meeting and nominate a ticket, and
it is very evident from the registration,
that the Democrats intend to bold nn
assembly on the 21st of April and
