City Council Takes No Action On Franchise Question
The council did not address a consolidated street car franchise at the meeting, citing a prior statement by Councilman James that the corporations committee must study the matter first. An ordinance allocated 602.46 for deeds along the Cedar River right of way, and three supervising engineers were hired at 176 monthly each for the Cedar River contract. Proposals to sell Wood land park for 100000 and Ravenna park for 17000 were referred to the finance committee. The council accepted a later invitation to visit Ravenna Park, time to be fixed. A resolution on bootblack stands was debated. a committee report allowed preapproved alley space for stands up to 2 feet from adjacent property. Wade proposed donating worn library books to the Shipwrights Caulkers Union. Crichton opposed the idea. Crichton’s bill requiring cemetery certificates was passed.
