The members of the city council are Just as keen about going to the circus as the average small boy or girl. At the last regular meeting the council adjourned next Monday evening, but when at the rpecial session yesterday afternoon City Clerk Casady called attention to the fact that a circus would be in town next Mon day and another on Tuesday, the council- men promptly rescinded the former action of adjourning to next Monday and will now meet next Wednesday evening instead. The meetihg yesterday afternoon was primarily for taking some action in the matter of the Pettibone ditch, Judge having dissolved the injuncuon secured by Angel Aita, restraining the city from proceeding with the opening of the ditch. The ditch has twice been opened by the city, but objecting property through whose holdings it crosses filled it up. A special committee consisting of Councllmen Olson, Morgan and Skodsholm, the city solicitor and the city engineer was appointed with power to act The sense of the council was that the ditch should be opened as far as the Aita property and then negotiation entered into with Aita as to whether the ditch should be opened through his lots or a detour around them made Aita i not satistled with Judge Wheeler's ruling and yesterday filed notice of ap- peal the supreme court City Treasurer True appeared before the council and suggested that the method of assessment for cost of sidewalks ta the abutting property as proposed under the sidewalk ordinance passed at the last ses- sion of the council be changed. The ordinance provides for the distribution of the cost In seven ussessments, wheroas, hertafore there has been but one assees- ment for the entire cost of their improve- ment. The change, Mr. True explained would ngcessitate an immense amount of bookkeeping as well as additional expense He thought the old procedure was entirely satistactory to the property owners and after some discussion the council decided to amend the ordinnace in conformity with Mr. True's suggestion In accordance with the recommendation of the finance committee Chiet Nicholson of the fire department will be permitted to employ one extra man to take the place of the regular men during thelr respective vacatiops. The same committee also recommended that the request of the West Council Bluffs Improvement clubs for a patrolman at night in that section of the eity be complied with Chfef Richmond was accordingly authorized to furnish such officer. “Complaints regarding candy and other slot machines at street corners not always dellvering the goods were referred to the chief of police to investigate.
