Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 June 1901 — Common Council Meeting. [ARTICLE]

Common Council Meeting.

At the common council meeting last Monday night little business of importance was transacted. The petition of “Rabbits Reserve’’ residents for extension of water mains was referred to committee, as was also objections of Ralph Fendig to hitch racks West Harrison street. A cement walk was ordered in on the south side of River street to west side of Milroy to the Monett property. Specifications for the improvement of the streets around the public square were adopted, but some of the property owners are protesting against the improvement of Van Rensselaer street with brick and there is a probability that this part of the improvement at least will not be made. B. F. Ferguson made complaint about unsanitary condition of Makemself ditch, and it was suggested that he present petition for closed sewer to take the place of the ditch.
