The Meeting of the City Council on Tuesday Evening Proves Quite Interesting to Many. THE SEWER IS DISCUSSED. Assessments Are on File at Clerk's Office and May Be Inspected by Property Owners of City. The Tuesday evening meeting of the city council was marked by the rapidity with which that body wad ed through the amount of accrued business, notwithstanding that it was at an early hour the following morning before the labors of the body were complete. In addition to the routine work the third reading of ordinances 37 to 45, inclusive, occupied the atten tion of the council for a time, four of this bunch being passed. These four were those certain ordinances referring to houses of ill-fame, the hitching or weighting of horses when left unattended, prohibiting females from loitering in or being entertained in saloons in the city and prohibiting the use of slot ma chines in the city- Ordinances 46 to 49, inclusive re ceived their second reading, while ordinance No. 50, regulating sewer and water connections and the lic ensing of plumbers was given its initial reading. A resolution introduced by Alder man Mattson and passed upon un animous vote provides for the in spection of all hydrants in the city by the fire chief atld- ftlSo .that all members of the paid department must be actual residents of the city. Alderman Bush fathered a resolu tion establishing and maintaining sewer funds for the respective dis tricts, the resolution carrying by a full vote. Alderman Wiggen introduced a resolution providing that the city clerk be entitled to the fees received for all filings made in his office, which carried. Heretofore the city clerk has taken such fees without a like resolution, the change in the city charter in this respect not be ing noted at the time of passing under the provisions of the new law. The sewer proposition then de manded the attention of the body for some time, Engineer McGilvery, hired by the former city council to look after the city's interests in the AM MA MA MU VIRGINIA, ST. LOUIS COUNTY. MINNESOTA, FRIDAY. JANUARY 22, 1904. AGENTS FOR LOTS in the Second Addition to Virginia and Aurora, Minn. 71 -f pretnises, and Contractor McDon nell being present. The method in which the work has or is reported to have been done drew out some pointed remarks on the part of Majror Fay and members of thie cougpil, and it was shown peradven tur^that the letter of the signed contract was passed up like a white chip by the contractor in many re spects* The claim was openly made that the trenches were dug much narrower than the specifications de manded, that the joints were not properly cemented, that in the fill ing of trenches the contract terms were ignored and that the sewer was^not in conformity with specifi cations in being so laid as to be waterproof against surface water. All ol these points were practic ally admitted by the city engineer, Mr..McGilvery, who warmly defend ed these discrepancies in the per formance of the contract, seeming ly appearing in behalf of the con tractor instead of (the I^mention of the happy event the Duluth News Tribune of Sunday sa5*fc Kaia Holi and E. Johnson w^^^r^ed^taO^o'cJjoifltFriday evpfcmg at the residence of the Rev. J. H. Grothein in this city. Only thi relatives and a few friends were present. A wedding dinner was served after the ceremony. Miss Holl was gowned in white crepe de chine over a taffeta underdress and carried bride's roses. Miss Inga Johnson, a s'ister of the groom, at tended the bride and wore a gown of pale violet peau de soie. Ed ward Thompson of Virginia acted as groomsman. Mr. and Mrs.Johnson will spend their honeymoon in this city and will make their home in Virginia, where Mr. Johnsoti is a prominent business man." The Enterprise !oins in extend ing congratulations. Mr. Cole's Opinion. It is the opinion of Thomas F. Cole, president of the mining de partment of the United States Steel corporation, that the iron and steel business of this country will grow until it Has. attained wonderful dimensions. He believes the time not far distant when America will make twice as much steel as now and when every mine in the Lake Superior country, including pro ducers of all grades of ore, will be working full handed. Just now, he states, there is no question that the business is unsatisfactory, and that a little time will be needed to set it going at its former pace. President Cole says that the policy of the Steel corporation has been to keep prices on a standard basis. When prices, in time of unprecedented demand, might have been greatly increased, it was insisted by the directors that there should be no advance. Sewer Assessments. By reference to a legal publica tion elsewhere in this issue it will be noted that at its regular meeting on February 2nd the council will consider the adoption of the sewer assessment as submitted by Engi neer McGilvery. The amount assessed against each lot may be obtained from City Clerk Thompson^and may be paid to the city treasurer at any time between February 2 and February 17, after which date interest will be charged on unpaid assessments. All lots in the city are assessed at about $4.00 for the general and joint district sewers, and all lots in Dis trict No. 2, between Maple and Wal nut streets are assessed at about $1&00 additional for the district sew- •v *'r, city. The Council provided for the issu ance of sewer warrants to Mr. Mc Donj lell in the sum of $8,500, in lieu of a equal amount of city orders ord red issued by the former coun cil] I ut which were held up on ac coui of the lack of funds in the city treasury. Engineer M.cGilvery also submit ted a list of special tax Assessments for sbwer improvements, which will be t£ken up for proper considera tion/at a future meeting of the council. I Wedded at Duluth.
