He asked that the regular street force be authorized to dig up the street, repair the leak and that the same be charged to the owners of the sewers. Mr. Tippens was also authorized by At - . J. . 1, . 1- t .1 .T ice council iu iiae kuv paces on Mam and Fifth streets re- painted. The license committee which has in the last few sessions been the busy committee, again came to the front with applications for beer li censes. The applications of George Conis for an "on sale" and B. C. Cdhn for "off sale" were passed and recommended to the state board. In the matter of the application of Henry Timm for '.license, the com mittee stated that remonstrance had been made as to the location pro posed with objection from the resi dents In block 35 where it is pro posed to have the tavern opened. The remonstrance was read together with a petition signed by others in the same block asking that the petition be granted to Mr. Timm. Mayor Lushinsky asked that anyone inter ested present give their views of the matter. Carl Kunsmann, owner of the building, called the attention ofj the council to the fact that the sign-jpaJd ers in ravor or ttie tavern were all Joe Sedlak, work at cemetery.? property owners in the block.

The state engi neer had thought the city could pos sibly receive assistance under the WPA with the highway in question just a temporary state and federal highway. On motion of Mr. Bestor the committee was authorized to se cure County Surveyor R. D. Fitch to get the plans ready for submission. Mr. Bestor also suggested that dirt be moved from. the Walker place to the lots on Chicago avenue owned by the city and which would imnroveithe Eastern Star of this city very much both of the places. This was adopted. Councilman Rebal suggested that the city offer as a WPA project that of the extension of the sewers on Chicago and Washington avenues which are badly needed and would make a permanent improvement to both sections of the city. This meas ure was supported by Councilman Tippens. Councilman Webb thought that the city should get as many proj ects as possible but that all of the - i councilmen should assist in getting' these lined up instead of just one committee. Mr. Webb also opposed the use of an engineer on all projects as too costly.
