The fixing of the curbs that have fallen at the edge of pavement was considered bat no definite action taken.

There is a small appropriation in the hands of the city at this time for fire prevention activities and Atty. Cowlin was instructed to arbitrate with Atty. Lumley and see if the Oberchain Boyer Co. would settle for a much less figure. A letter from Theo. Hamer, who is closing up the affairs of the Citizens State Bank, demanding immediate payment of the judgment held against the city to faciliate his closing the bank affairs and paying as large a dividend as possible, was read and as the city board has done everything within its power, there is nothing that can be done until public benefits are paid off so that bonds can be floated to pay the several judgments held against the city. ^ The meeting adjourned at 9&4& BUYS GARAGE BUILDING real estate transfer was reported oa Wednesday of last week when Fred J.
