Monday night tho City Council
held a meeting, at which all council*
men were present with the excep
tion of A. C. Blanched.
The School Board made a report
lor the period ending December 17,
1916, in which a deficit of $14.24
was shown.
A request was made for {in. appro
bation of $625 to cover the ex
penses of tho present school month,
and this sum the council allowed.
A communication from V. I.
Hahu was read, in which he stated
that he had made a survey of the
sidewalk in front of the apartment
building on the corner of Sixth Ave.
find Broadway ,and that he found
• he concrete walk to be 11 5-8 in.
above the established grade. W.
I,. LandsbOJ'ougb, speaking for the
Territorial corporation, owner of
the building, said in explanation
tha* they were under the impression
that they had the proper grade, as
the* had their surveyor, H. P. M.
Birkinbine run the line. Mr. Bir
kin Dine statod that he had been un
able to obtain a profile of the cross
section of certain streets crossing
Broadway, and had obtained the
grade of the walk from the Broad
way profile. Councilman Hardy,
chairman of the Public \\orks and
Public Property committee suggest
ed 'hat the matter be compromised
by lowering the walk half the
distance that it is above the grade,
but the matter was finally laid
over in order to give th<j council
time to thoroughly, investigate and
if it was found necessary, a spec
ial meeting of the council was to
be called for final disposition and
settlement.

the smoke stack of the new bank
building, as the sparks eminating
l'rcm that source might cause a

ings. This matter was left up to
the Fire and Water committee, who
we,e instructed to notify the bank
and request that a spark arrester
be installed. The matter of the
Mug restaurant being u menace to
