the Improvement on 18th street from
Main to the north line of lot 23,
so that the city can now take It over
and keep up repairs on it. The Instruc­
tion came as a result of a petition
by property owners in that district.
A petition to remove gravel on Mill

It was decided to dispense with the

council that the day and night marsh-
