The work of Harry Newman at second base for, the locals was one of the features of the game as he fielded like a house afire ami secured three clean hits off of Lawrence, pitcher of the Munlock team, one being for three bags' George Nelson also showed some very clever stick work uring the game and divided honors in this de partment of the game with Newman. The Eagles scored three runs in the third inning, and added another tally in the fourth when the .Mur- dock infield became excited and made a number of very costly errors. The seventy and eighth innings also ad ded two more runs to the score of tlie locals.

A communication was also receiv ed from John Zatopka. in which he stated that he had a horse injured some time ago bv stepping through n u-noilpn fMilvert in thp west nnr- ' tion of the city and which had made necessary the employment of u vet erinarian at a cost of $50 and for which he asked that he be reimburs- ed. This was attorney and referred to the city judiciary committee lor action. Councilman Ptacek of the streets, alleys and bridges committee report ed that his committee had tried out the Fordson tractor but was not in a position to report on the same as the members were not convinced this tractor could haul the graders over the hills, although it had done ex cellent work in dragging, and there fore thev would make no recommen dations as to the purchase of the' tractor at this time. The streets, alleys and bridges committee also reported favorably on a number of sidewalk and others were referred resolutions to the city engineer as they wouKl require more filling and grading. Councilman Schulhof. of the light ing committee, reported favorably on the matter of a light at Elm street near the Missouri Pacific depot and on motion this was ordered installed at okce. Councilman Bestor asked that the light company be requested to fix a guy wire at Fourth and Vine street and which was ordered carried out. Councilman Lindeman of the sec ond ward asked that an old well on the city property on Washington avenue be filled up and made safe for the public as it was located on a part of the public highway. Councilman Brittain stated that a portion of the highway near the M portion of the highway near the Manspeaker property in the Fourth ward had been fenced up and that even the highway had been plowed up and he desired the chief of police and the street commissioner be re quested to go to the scene of action and cause the work to cease and tliis was so ordered. Councilman Brittain also stated that Mr. Baird had agreed to let the city have a car load of cinders for use in street work and thse were now available and he moved that the city accept same, which was ordered by the council. Councilman Ptacek thought that some of these cinders could be used to good effect on the subway, but Councilman McCarthy informed the council that John Rich ardson had fixed up the subway in a very good way to handle all the flood water that might accumulate there. The matter of the division of lots in the cemetery to handle the in creasing demand for lots and which threatens to make it necessary in a very short time to purchase addi tional land for this purpose, was brought up by Councilman Brittain. It was the idea of Mr. Brittain hat eight lots in the cemetery be divided into quarter and half lots. It was finally decided to leave the matter in the hands of the cemetery com mittee totake such action as they might see fit in the matter. Councilman Ptacek took up the matter of permanent street improve ment and pointed out that tthe city had created a number of paving dis tricts last year but that none of these had been completed and he thought that it would be well to try and. accomplish even a small part of the -program each year, if , necessary, suggesting high school hill, the block between Main and Vine streets on Seventh and the block on Vine be tween Third and Fourth streets as the possible scenes of the first work. The cost oX material had declined a great deal, Mr. Ptacek stated and it was worth while looking into. The question of the paving of Main street was suggested by Coun cilman Howe of the third ward, but Mr. Ptacek stated that the work there was so extensive and that no petition had ever been presented from the residents along the street, who would have lo bear the cost of the work and that until a petition was presented there would be noth ing doing. Councilman McCarthy suggested bv way of a change in that someone should assist in enforcing the dog license ordinance as there had been only twenty tags sold so far and the city had in the neighborhood of f rora 500 to l.ooo dogs and there should be more doing in the way of issuing tags. It was finally decided to give the city clerk power to appoint an assistant if necessary to go over the city and see why the tax had not been paid. j On motion of Councilman Bestor, j the Chief of Police was authorized to', mark oft parking spaces on Main ! street of the city and seo that they! are complied with "in the future. i There being no decision on bids for painting the city hail, mayor appointed a "committee sitting of Maurer.
