partment had been able to get their
trucks through the traffic difficul
ties, it was found that the fire had
originated in the basement of the
structure.
The fire apparently had been
caused by a battery charter and as
the basement was filled with many
empty boxes and papers it was diffi
cult to handle, dense smoke making
it hard for the firemen to combat the
blaze. Large holes were knocked in
the side of the brick basement and
which permitted the firemen to get
water playing on the fire and soon
getting it under control and prevent
ing it spreading over the entire
house. The smoke damage will be
quite heavy, but it is fortunate the
building was not destroyed as the fire
had a good start and only the hard
work of the firemen prevented more
damage.

racing to the fires and in many cases
getting in the way of the trucks and
firemen hastening to the fires. Henry
Jasper, assistant chief and acting
head of the department, was at the
meeting to discuss the matter of traf
fic at the Edwards fire Monday after
noon. The truck had been delayed
by a great many cars that had gone
on out and it was several minutes
later than ordinary in reaching the
scene, one car or truck cutting in
front of the fire truck and making
it necessary to stop. When they had
reached the fire it was found to be
hard to handle and the delay had
made it more so by allowing the fire
to spread. He urged that something
be done to enforce the state law In
regard t right of way of fire equip
ment. Several of the councilmen
stated that the siren could be heard
at long distance and no reason why
the right of way could not be cleared..
On motion of Councilman J. fi
Sohutz, of the fire and water commit
tee, a resolution was adopted asking
motorists when hearing the approach
of the fire trucks to drive over to
the right of the road aj far as pos
sible, park and wait for the passing
of the equipment, also not to park
cars in the vicinity where a fire is
In progress, but leave the way open
for the firemen and lines of hose.
City Attorney J. Howard Davis
read sections of the old traffic ordi
nance that provided that the fire
equipment and department had full
use or the street in time or nre,
that traffic was required to draw
to the right curb and remain inac
tive until after the passing of the
equipment. The ordinance provided
for a fine of not less than $1 or more
than $50 for the violation of the
ordinance and also the cost of the
case. The ordinance will be enforced
In the future if further cases of in
terfering with the firemen is reported.
Mayor Lushinsky reported that the
board of health had been busy in try
ing to get the Monroe building fixed
up, that the owner had agreed to
make what changes needed, but get
ting the occupant out of the build
ing was proving a real problem for
the owner.
Mayor Lushinsky reported that the
upper floor of the Petersen building
was being placed in first class shape
for apartments and was under super
vision of Elmer Sundstrom of the
Recreation Center. So far there had
been no rentals.
Chairman Tippens of the streets.
alleys and bridges committee, report
ed that street work was all well
cared for but that the workers had
been busy in removing leaves from
tiles after they had been raked Into
waterways by those residing nearby
or allowed to blow in and obstruct
the sewers in cases of accident.
On motion of Councilman Webb
the parks and improvement commit
tee was authorized to go ahead and
secure the repair of the floor in the
lower part of the city hall where the
firemen are to have a club room and
meeting place soon.
Mayor Lushinsky explained that
the Chicago avenue sewer project was
approved and as soon as rock could
be secured would be ready to start
working on. It would require 4,000
yards of rock at six cents a foot for
the chief material cost. The engi
neers had wanted to start the work
at the north end of the project near
Pearl street, but the mayor and most
of the councilmen urged the start at
the south end so that it would not j
interfere with the avenue near as
much as otherwise. The sewer will
extend from the present culvert at
Chicago and Patterson avenues, on
north to follow the present old creek
and at Tenth street will meet the
present opening of the sewer and the
new branch then continued north to
Pearl street It will be a five foot
sewer.
