C. interested in tho improvement IH of Collego Avenue, were prencnt and rH made a report of their progress in tho ik matter of obtaining grants of proper- km ty from the owners for the purpose of k widening tho street, showing that tho '1 concessions asked through the bloC? H farthcrcst west had all been complied . H with, In tho next block one owner, a ( H widow, nsked compensation for nor lH property; two other owners were wil- H ling to deed the property, provided H the city would nssumc nil rcsponsibil- W ity nnd benr tho expense of the pro- H nosed improvements. In tho third H block, next to Main street, matters k were somewhat complicated, on nc- rH count of the necessity for the moving H of some of tho buildings, nnd somo of 'H the lots being almost too small to al- H low of moving or giving up of n rod H of the ground. The committee nsked , H that the Council definitely determine 'H to make the improvement, ns they felt H thnt it would mnkc it easier for them 'H to complete their negotiations for tho 'r' property. Also that the city start H condemnation proceedings when nee- "km cssnry nnd nsscss the abutting prop- lH erty to make the improvements pro- ; posed to the street. Or if tho owners t preferred to contributo the property, iH thnt tho city bear tho expense of tho ;H improvements. The matter was ro- 'km ferrcd to the committee on streets nnd rH city property, with instructions to con- H fer with the City Attorney and report H at a special meeting called for tho H following Tuesday evening.

Woodhouse of the Dixie Pow- er Company reported in relation to Mk the proposed city lighting system that ' M his company is under contract to in- M stall in Cedar City, that if the ad- M dittional twenty or more lights now H being considered by tho council nro B ndded it will he necessary to increase H the size of the copper wire for tho H system from No. 10 to No. 8. And U recommended that this change be or- H dcred now rather than Inter when tho H cost would be much greater. The sug- H Kcstion of tho representative of the H Power compnny was adopted by the -H Council, the chnngo entailing an in- H crease in tho contract price of approx- H imatcly $300. M Mr. Woodhouse further stated that B the price of materials called for in HJ the specifications hnd been increased HJ by jobbers sinco the contract was let HJ to the extent of 140?c. Mr. Wm. Flanignn wns present and HJ asked the council to fulfill its promise HJ to pipe tho water through the .pro- H posed new street in the western ex- HJ tension of the platted district, where H ho has property and is awaiting tho HJ delivery of water before commencing iH to build u residence. It appeared that HJ the.ro were some difficulties in tho H way of opening tho strct on nccount HJ of the attitude of certain property HJ owners which might require condom- HJ nation proceedings on the part of tho HI city, but assurance was given that fll the matter should receive prompt nt- HJ ten tion. 1 City Poundkeeper nnd City Marshal ) rendered their monthly reports. rfll Marshal Arthur Nelson was np- pointed by Mayor Swapp as jovenilo ' officer, tho appointment being ratified 31 by tho Council.

Council Foster's committee was granted further time.
