The Improvement of the
TRUSTEE'S ADDITION
Is Complete
The Sewer has been finished and is working
satisfactorily. The 10 blocks of the Trustee's
Addition have more cement sidewalks than any
other residence portion of the city ....
We Still Have About One-Half of the
Lots of the Addition for Sale
They are cheaper in price and better improved
than any other lots in the city at twice the price.
In the Trustee's Addition everything has been provided so that a
home may be as modern there as in any part of the city. Tlfe
sewer is. deeper in the ground and has a better fall than elsewhere.
The sidew alks are on the north and south sides of every block and
all the streets are graded. Besides access may be had the same as
in any part of the city, to city water, electric lights and telephone.
The residence lots of the Addition are for sale by
WM. E. SHUMAN, Atty for Trustee
Doings of the City Council.

proposition to vote ninety thousand
dollars for the purpose of erecting a

plant but to build an entirely new
plant. This election will bo held on

of sidewalks on both sides of Ash street
from the Banks' addition to Front
street, was read the first time. (The

read Willow street.)
As the dray license ordinance has
not been enforced for a year, an ordi
nance repealing that particular ordi
nance was introduced and read for the
first time.
The use of the streets on tho Fourth
of Jul wbb granted the citizens' com
mittee on condition that no confetti be
sold or used, and that the fireworks be
fired off at some point south of Fourth
street. The chief of police was author
ized to publish notices calling attention
to the fireworks ordinance.
