COUNCIL ACTS AT MEETING ON TUESDAY EVENING

At a meeting of the city council held on Tuesday evening of this week a resolution was adopted ordering the construction of a main sanitary sewer on Van Street, and setting the cost of construction of the sewer against the various property owners on that street.

Another resolution was adopted ordering the construction of a storm sewer to start on Lake Street, at the west intersection of Lake and Jefferson streets, then east along Lake street to a point at the intersection of Division and Lake streets. Also another one beginning at the north side of Lake street, at the intersection of the west line of Sixth and Lake streets, then west to a point at the intersection of Division and Lake streets, where it will join the storm sewer running form the opposite the direction. This sewer will then run across Lake street and south to the Oscar Larson property, following Oscar Larson property line to Mirror Lake. This same resolution also orders the construction of another storm sewer commencing at the intersection of the north line of Royalton Street to the east line of Berlin Street, then south over Royalton street, then west to Berlin Street and across the Oscar Larson property to Mirror Lake. The construction of these storm sewers has been ordered to start at once. The city has agreed to pay Oscar Larson the sum of $100 for running this sewer through his property, and this sum has been paid to him.

The petition that was presented to the council at a former meeting asking for the opening of Eighth Street was taken up. On motion it was deferred for future consideration.
