RESIDE OF BELTRAMI AVENUE PRESENT ONE. City Council Had a Big Night for Bills and Paid Out About $700. . The city council held a regular meeting last night and paid out more money than any meeting. the —council has recently had. Mayor Ludington was absent as: was Alderman Hazen, and Alder- man Bowser presided over ‘Re- corder Bailey and Alderman Graham, Thirty-two bills came up for the official o. k. of the finance committee. Among those al- lowed were the bills for expense incurred at the funeral of Chief Bemidji, amounting in all to $115, and the bills for labor and ma- torial in the repair of the Third street dock, which made a total of about $500. Residents of Beltrami avenue presented a petition for the ex- tension of the sidewalk on the west side of Beltrami from Ninth to Thirteenth streat, signed by all but three of the property owners affected, whose signa- wures could not be obtained for the reason that they were out of the city. The petition was re- ferred to the street committee. The matter of setting aside a night when the militia_company. could use the city hall did nof come up at the meeting. The committee of the militia company appointed to take the matter up with the council interviewed the individual membgrs yesterday afternoon. OwingWto the con- tract with—Manager Wheelock the request of the company will be somewhat ditlicult to grant as the bookings for the house ex- tend into July. The matter ivill be taken up and settled at a u- ture meeting. It was apparent last night that alarge number of improvements are contempleted in the resi- dence portion of the city and. at the next meeting of the council two sidewalk petitions will be up for consideration. /One will ask jor an extension/on Minhesota avenue to Tw reefiand an- ‘other for an sion on I[rvine ayenue from Tenth street to the north line of White’s addition. In all there will be petitions in for about two miles of new sidewallz. After the/regular businesshad:| been disposed of the council spent some time in an infornal discussion of someof the matters that will come before it during the summer, The/water question will soon be a problem and unless the well which Warfield Brosmre digging comes up to expectations the city will probably find itself un- able-t6—supply—eity—water—for lawn sprinkling purposes. The capacity of the -water plantis only equal to about half the de- mand. & The sewerage question cannot be taken up until this matter is disposed of, but the council -hopes-for-a satistactory solution of the problem before its next meeting. In the event that anything is done this season on $he sewerage Leen prepared, and it is_built ac- cording to the plans submitted, the construetion of the systemn will probably be begun this year by building sewers from Ameri- can avenue to the lake and from Beltrami avenue to First street and thence to the lake: All this is still very indefinite, however. re is all disposition to make the best of the situation need that will erection of substantial buildings in the business portion of the city is being delayed pending the adjustment of the wer question and if the matter can be reached ind the work™ dohe this year it will no doubt be gone about.
