A bill of Dr. Pollock for dam- ages to some electrical apparatus by reason of a short circuit was referred to the finance committee, Finance committee recommend- ed the payment of $1,900.64 in bills and council so ordered. W. P. Dyke's request that coun cil dig or repair a ditch to keep surface water out of a basement belonging to Mrs Knapp was re ferred to street committee, as was a similar request from John Bailey. The sewer contractors having reported they could save the city $300 by substituting vitrified for iron pipe for a distance of 150 feet the council will investigate. Street commissioner was in structed to put men to work pud dling ditches where sewer had been laid in order to settle the fills. Motion was also passed that contractors be notified to clean up dirt around completed man holes .

Councilman Johnson thought there was need of a traffic and jit- ney ordinance and the ordinance committee was instructed to draw- up an ordidance covering the question. W . P. Dyke a n d Engineer Kirkwood were instructed to in vestigate a tract of land the city might need for watershed pur poses. The sum of $155.33, borrowed from the 1915 street improvement fund, was ordered replaced. The finance committee was not ready to report on the claim of F. J. Miller to the effect that the building of the sanitary sewer had damaged his farm property, At a special meeting, held June 29th, the council contracted with the Elliot company to lay laterals from the street centers to curb |mw at 37^ (oot Where sewer trench is already filled, the rate will be somewhat higher, but tlds phase of the question was not dlsPosed o f- Rnm», einnnind Berries R.pcning Fast The w-arm weather of the past few days is causing the rapid rip- yradualcdTom S c U n h S y ' ■ and makin* " * * wi*h ,he " !° re ¡" t e s t in g part of the ser ! the main crop of the David’s Hill ] f t o ' S s h o i S S f p icT with the class of ’ 12 and lat«*r lT , „ : Y‘ce than the regular infantry, people, this attack of the brown aPPeaLs to be a shortage of pick- went to Oberlin College near The Nawakwa Campfire girls for, while the infantry drills are College near I gave a E a i *7tVn c o L t ’ artiilerym/n.
