R A '. crossing, was filed, granted and the clerk instructed to notify the company that the same be placed there at their expense The clerk was also authorized to advertise for bids on all ordered sidewalks, which had aot as yet been constructed. The street commissioner asked for stone to dress North Third street and the purchasing committee was ordered to buy tour car loads of crushed stone for the work to de done. Since different officials have been purchasing artiI cles without the consent of the pur- • chasing committee, and which was brought up at the last council meeing, was changed somewhat Tuesday | cvenigg and from now on heads of all j departments are allowed to buy necessaries not exceeding $lO.
