Mayor Becker wanted to know whether the administration should continue to have such a debt charged against it or not when j ouncllman chroeter suggested that sonic of the idle men be put to work on private property to clean it of underbrush. Mayor Becker said it was hardly fair to non-resident property owners that after they had cheerfully contributed thousands of dollars for street and sewer improvements that the city take it upon itself to go int.. their private pockets to cut the under brush. That lie said was discouraging property owners. Councilman Schroeter on the other hand argued that these same property owners refused to sell any of their real estate for a reasonable price. The discussion closed when 'ouncllman John Kane in his customary manner made a motion that the council adjourn. Other ordinances being in preparation which the mayor wishes to get into the printer's hands the council will hold a postponed session next Tuesday evening.
