sion to erect an addition to dining
room, in rear of his house on Eliza

monstrance against wooden pavement
on Cherry street from John Schar-
diem, for drainage of his land on the
line of Central Railroad. Referred to
appropriate committees.
Owen Farrelly rendered his resigna-
ton as Inspector of Marshall street
sewer.
The street committee, reported in ia
vor of ordering the Nicholson pave
ment to be laid on Cherry street-it
being, in the opinion of the committee,
much superior to any other wooden
Issement in use. Ito report, which
was of considerable length, cited testi-
monials from the officials of various
cities, where the various kinds of wood
en- pavement had been used, all of
whom concurred in recommending the
Nicholson pavement, as being greatly
to be desired in preference to any other
wooden pavement known. The Mich
olson is said to be more solid, and less
likely to absorb water than any other
pavement.
On motion of Judge Green, the re-
port was received, and the resolution,
awarding the contract for the paving of
Cherry street to the American Nichol-
son Company adopted.

organized in the Sixth ward.
Mr.. Lyon wanted to know whether
all the members of this company were
81 years of age. He was opposed to
allowing boys in the Department, for
they made nothing but trouble. The
Committee were directed to give this
matter their careful attention.
The fire committee reported in favor
of allowing addition to be erected in
rear of the estate of Oliver Pierce, de-
ceased, and on q call of the ayes and
nays the recommendation was lost-9
to 3-Lyon and Dockry-Mr. Wiley
changing his vote to the negative, with
a view of moving a reconsideration at
some future time, as he did not think
that the addition proposed would jeop-
ardize property within the fire limits.
Some member proposed that Mr..
Lyon change his vote, but that gentle
man "couldn't see it"-ha believed in
