* BIDS CALLED FOR *
* SCHOOL BUILDING *
* - ♦
At the meeting of the city courted
last night it was decided to call for
bids for the addition to the school
building and for improvements on
that building. The cost of the work
will total about $6,000.
During the meeting some scenes
were enacted on which it is better to
ring down the curtain.
The present city council is desirous
of fulfilling its duties proper!} and
fairly, lut may it be suggested heir
that when a venerable legal repre
sentative appears to represent his
clients he should be treated with re
spect by the audience as well us by
member* of the council. The fact that
his clients might have accumulated
unearned increment should not be
held against himself. All of us would
like to have that unearned increment
ourselve*

taken out and the street improved. It
was granted.
City Engineer Dunlap said the cost
of the Fifth and Sixth avenue sewer
would be $3,060 for a wooden sewer
and $3,360 for a concrete sewer. The
council accepted the recommendations
for building the sewer and is calling
for bids.
The petition for grading Adams st.
from the east sick* o: Fourth to the
railroad was presented. Judge Mor
ford in behalf of the Dickerman estate
objected as, he stated, including the
lot of that estate between Fourth an*/
Fifth would entail more expense than
the improvement to the Dickerman lot
warranted owing to the fact that the
work to be done east of Fifth avenu*
was much heavier. Later it was
agreed to eliminate the street be
tween Fourth and Fifth from the pe-'

get a petition separately for the im
provement of the block opposite the
ground he represented. W hen Judge
M or ford was told that he came “to
obstruct and with poor grace," lie an- {
8 we red by speaking of the remark as
insulting and went on to show that he
would defend his clients although he
might make no objection under simi
lar circumstances if his own property
w ere in question. There wag a warm 1
moment but the less, said about it and
something else the better it will be.

commission government. Instead of
live commissioners. Mayor Speer is
the government.
