City Council
Takes Up Many
Civic Problems
6th St. Walks, Refunding Bonds, New
Council Committee and Closing
Hours for Beer Parlors on
The city council at their last meet
ing for the month o May, had a
large array o matters to come to
their attention and all of the solons
ivere on hand promptly at 8 o'clock
to start the ball roling.
The city received a communication
signed by all but two of the property
owners on Sixth street, asking that
a WPA project be made of the side
walks along that street, the labor
to be furnished by the WPA and the
material cost to be borne by the prop
erty owners. The matter was referred
to the WPA committee of the council
to get in touch with the WPA offi
cials and get the proposition under
way. There was considerable discus
sion of the work by the fifth ward
councilmen urging other projects in
their section of the city. Councilman
Palmer pointed out that the Sixth
street job had to be completed and
the sooner it was through, others
could be taken up.
The report of the park board for
the year ending April, 1936, was re
ceived and showed a very efficient
handling of the park funds.
The finance committee of the
council presented a resolution, that
as the funds in the gasoline tax was
-ro'c'ient to carry on the current
t&ense that $1,00 0 be transferred
' from the general fund to be replaced
when the gas tax money was turned
over in July to the city. This was
passed.
Chairman Puis of the judiciary
committee presented ordinance No.
722, the measure creating a cemetery
board and the regulation of Oak Hill
cemetery. The ordinance provided for
the appointment of a board of six
members, by the mayor to regulate
and manage the cemetery and its af
fairs. The board was to consist ol
two members appointed for one year,
two for two years and two for three
years and thereafter for regular
three year terms. The board was to
select a chairman and secretary
treasurer, the board to have the col
lection of all revenues and to make
such rules and regulations as they
saw fit. The money collected was. to
be turned over to the city treasurer
and paid out only on the order ol
the cemetery board. It was moved
that the ordinance be placed on its
second and third reading by its title,
but before a vote was taken the mat
ter providing for the handling of
trust funds was taken up and the
measure laid over for the next meet
ing. Chairman Webb of the claims com
mittee reported that after advertising
for bids, the former Hyers residence
on South Tth street had been sold
for $75 and the purchaser to remove
the same and tear it down. Mr. Webb
also reported on the tax properties
to be sold at sheriff's sale in a short
time and his committee was author
ized to get in touch with prospective
purchasers and to get the property
back on the tax list.
Chairman Tippens of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee, report
ed that the heavy work ordered at
the last council meeting had been
cleared up and was in good shape
now.
Chairman Rebal of the license
committee reported that an "on sale'
beer license application had been
made by K. A. Sullivan. Thi3 was
referred to the license committee for
investigation and report at the next
meeting.
Chairman Brittain of the cemetery
committee reported that the cemetery
was being cleaned up and would be
in first class shape by decoration day
Mayor Lushinsky also stated that
gravel was to be placed on part of
the road and that water would also
be hauled there for decoration day
use.

Councilman Brittain, chairman of
the parks and improvement commit
tee, stated that the band stand in
Garfield park needed painting and
that the flagpole should be lowered
and this was ordered referred to the
park board.
Chairman Palmer of the lighting
committee reported that an estimate
of $225 would cover the cost of the
placing of electrolier cables in con
duits along Sixth street and make a
permanent and good job and which
would do away with the need for
tearing up the street and walks to
look after them in the future. The
committee was authorized to go
ahead with the work.
Mr. Palmer alsc stated that the
trial of the case wherein the city
sought payment for an electrolier
from a Hamburg, Iowa, trucker was
to come up June 3rd. Mr. Palmer
also reported that two electroliers
had been broken in the last few
weeks, one of which was to be paid
by a local party while the other was
broken by a state highway depart
ment worker.
Chairman Vroman of the police
committee reported that last year the
city had allowed the members of the
police force a week's vacation with
pay and as this did not allow much
travel be desired the vacation period
be raised to ten days and which was
so ordered. Mayor Lushinsky stated
that the police bad been very faith
ful in working extra whenever neces
sary and he thought that it was an
excellent idea to grant them the
extra three days.
Chairman Bestor of the special
WPA committee reported that Sixth
street was getting along in excellent
shape and wiht the adjusting of the
wiring for the electroliesr and the
completion of the intersection at the
north end that the street could be
available for travel. The city had
saved some $710 in turning in their
cement sacks that had raised enough
to buy the extra cement needed.
The council had some discussion
of the refunding of the issue of $23,-
000 5 per cent bonds which would
be due in June and which it was sug
gested might be floated at a lower in
terest rate. On the motion of Coun
cilman Rebal the finance committee
was reqoested to get in touch with
bonding houses and see what the
outlook for refunding at lower rates
at this time might be.
Councilman Bestor stated that
there had been much complaints of
fights that had taken place in beer
parlors and places over the city and
which had annoyed residents near
these place3. He stated he thought
that where the fights occurred that
the parties be arrested even if the
officers were not eye witnesses of the
battles. Mayor Lushinsky stated that
the owners of the places should try
and keep down disorder in the var
ious places, but he was in favor of
the arrest of those fighting and
bringing them in before the police
judge. He also favored the regulation
of the places by a twelve o'clock
closing, allowing plenty of time for
those who wished a drink and cutting
out much of the disorder that was
reported and especially on Saturdays
The city council and mayor then
took up the matter of an additional
committee for the council and as the
result the tax and property commit
tee was created with Webb as chair
man and Vroman and Rebal as mem
bers.
The change will give George Hall
heretofore without a chairmanship
to be chairman of the claims and city
DlanninK committee. Tippens and
Brittain being the other members.

no rubbing it out.
Many Replantng Corn.
A canvass of the farmers in the
vicinity of Avoca reveals many were
compelled to replant some of their
corn, something over a hundred acres
in all. This is due to not alone poor
seed but also to the fact that some
of the corn was planted to shallow
so there was not enough moisture
to germinate the seed. However some
of the field which have a slight stand,
say as much as fifty percent, will be
allowed to stand.
