At an adjourned ‘meeting of thi council held on the 10th, the proceed- ings of which are published in today’s Herald- Review, bids for the filling of approaches to the Mississippi bridge at the foot of Leland avenue were re- ceived. The flgures submitted would make the cost of the work to the vil- lage amount to about $900. The council figuted oft that the work could be done under the direction of the street commissioner for about one ‘half that amount. J. Stevens, the borse- dealer, and C. 8. Brock were the bidders. ‘Some time ago, it is said, Mr. Stevens was looking about for a place tou dump-dirt from his lots on Leland avenue, located just south af the Odd Fellows building. When he found that the village could make use of his surplus rea! estate he raised on its value to the full limit. His lots are located within halfa block of the bridge, with a down hill haul, but it is aot unlikely that Mr. Stevens will yet find it neceessary to carry his dirt up hill at his own expense. The matter of extending the sewer system along Fourth street east of Leland avenue was considered at the meeting but no definite action taken. Ordinance No. 37,. relating to elec- tric light rates, received its final reading and was passed. [OFFICIAL] PROCEEDINGS Of Village Council, Village ot Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
