NUMBER 100 — BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1906. 10 MORE BLOCKS OF WATER MAINS Council Votes to Build on Four Avenues and One Street. COST WILL BE CLOSE TO $3.000; CiTY HAS MONEY Removal of Merr; -go round From Third Street Is Ordered. « The city council last night voted to build ten more blocks of water mains to relieve the wants of the residents in the north, northeast and uorthwest portions of the city. The cost will be close to $3,000, and this will just about exhaust the fund for water ex- tension. Had the four petitions asking for water mans before the coun- cil last night been granted in full, many more blocks of pipe would be laid and the city would be run considerably in debt. The coun- cil decided that there is only one business-likke method and that is to extend the water as far as the money in the fund will allow, which is ten blociks. Then the question of which sections should get the water arose, and in fair- ness to a'l, a compromise was struck, allowing each section a| proportionate share, | WHAT THE COUNCIL DID. Ordered the removal of the merry- go-round from Third streot lo some place whero it will not block traffic. Voted to oxtend water main on the following streots and avenues: On Dewey from Eighth to Tenth; on Bel- trami from Eighth to Tenth; on Minne- sota from Eighth to Tenth; on Eighth from Minnesota to Mississippi; on Miss- issippi to Ninth. laid as follows: Oa Dewey avenue from Eighth to Tenth streets; on Beltrami avenue from Eighth t» Tenth streets; on Minnesota avenue from Kighth to Tenth streets; from the corner of Min- nesota avenue and Eighth street weston Eighth street three blocks to Mississippi avenue and thence one block north on Mississippi. It was figured at first to run the main north on Irving avenue from Fourth street in order to get the water into the northwest portion of town, but Alderman Miller called attention to the fact that this would necessitate the cutting of a heavy grade and con- siderable filling, and suggested the course from Minnesota on Eighth, This not only avoids the grade and the fill, but makes the piping two blocks shorter. The question of the granting of licenses to sell fruits, lunches, cigars, popcorn, lemonade, etc., to outsiders and also to home people was brought up, and there was considerable hostility mani- Ifested to the idea of outsiders coming in and getting licenses.

Alderman Brinkman, however, on behalf of the Commercialclub, and George Markham, secretary of the club, assured the council that the club had a contract with the carnival people forbidding them to operate such stands, and the council by a unanimous vote agreed to leave the matter in the bands of the Commercial clubaad the mayor. The establishment of the mer- ry-go-round on Third street so that it takes up all but a few feet of the driveway was the subject of some forcible discussion, also, result of which was that thej $600 RACE 1S “Little Boy" and Leonard’s “Curly” at 2 p. m.

The race is best two in three, quarter-mile heats, winner to take the entire purse of $300 a side, Thos. Newby having wager ed $300 on “Little Boy” and Mr. Leonard backing his horse for a like amount. C. D. Bacon is stakeholder, and he has the entire amount 1n cash ready to turn over to the winner, The quarter mile which has been selected for the race is the second and third eighths of the half-mile course, making a turn at the startand finishing in the home stretch. As to which horse will win the money, there is a diversity of opinion. Some believe that the courso selected gives the pony he advantage, there being two turns, while others are of the opinion that the sorrel is fully as fast as the pony on the turnsand can outfoct the little horse on the straight going. At any rate, there will be a swift pace, and neither backer has taken any chances on losing, as both horses are trained to the minute. Band Concert. The Bemidji band will give a free concert this evening in front of the city hall. The concert will be given just before the com- mencement of the play, ‘“Our Old Kentucky Home.” Lovers of good music should not fail to hear this part of the evening's entertainment.
