A petition signed by F. E. Brown and George Wertsberger asking for the construction of a sewer near their respective properties, was read and upon motion was referred to the city engineer, who wjp; in- « structed to report bacx at the next * regular meeting. A petition signed " by Charles Nelson an<L_others asking for a cement sidewalk along the east side of Fourteenth street was read and upon motion Fas referred to’.the street and sewer committee. A petition, signed by several property owners on Adams street and by Fred Linn and others on Mercer avenue, asking that when the council contemplated improving said streets that they inspect the relative merits of “Tarvia, ’ a new paving process now in use in all the leading cities in the united States. These petitions were referred to the street and sewer committee. In connection with-These petitions. Mr. Brooks, representing the “Tarvla” people, asked permission to explain the construction of this manner of paving, which was granted, and he consumed a half hour in telling the II I’ll I !WaU'Uf'.iJSB!JU.'JgWe-

merits of his goods. He invited the council to come to Chicago and exjam|ne streets of this material that I have been In use for years and claim- ! ed that his paving process would last as long as the foundation of the street remained. However, at this time the , council was unable to take any definite action on the matter. The judiciary committee to whom had heretofore been referred the matter of granting to the Indiana Lighting company an amendment to their franchise reported favorably on said amendment, which report was adopted. D. E. Smith, representing this company then presented the franchise as they deslrde it amended, which now permits the company to Charge one dollar per thousand feet and no more, and granting to them the use of thd old mains formerly used by the Logansport and Wabash Valley Gas company. The gas proposed to be furnished by this company is artificial gas and they expect to erect somewhere in the city a large storage tank and will in the end employ a, number of men. The notion as taken by the council will no doubt be commended by every citizen, who will welcome the return or gas, although it is arttfidal. , A resolution ordering ■the city clerk to issue improvement bonds in the sum of |257.70 in favor of Julius Haugk for the improvement of Ninth street was read and passed and he so Instructed. The petition for a sewer in the south part of the city heretofore filed by John Merryman and. others was laid on the table the council refusing to consider the same, it requiring them to condemn certain real estate. Owing to the fact that the postoffice inspector asked that certain houses be numbered in the new district laid out where mall is to be delivered, the council instructed Engineer Vogt to give the property owners the correct number and further ordered him to hava pew street signs painted and placed up for every street in the city. This was done owing to the fact that the old street sigils were practically out of commission. Burns then moved that owing t othe fact that Sonntag & Co., of Chicago, 111., who were at a recent meeting sold the $12,000 worth of

city bonds at a nice premium and who failed to accept the same, that the city clerk be ordered and directed to re-advertlse the sale of said bonds, fixing April 27, as the day and requiring each and every bidder to file a certified check of $500.00 with his bid.
