part Of city, to prevent standing water in
fields west of hill
On motion of Mr.. Schafer, that Street
Committee attend to that grievance i'm
mediately
President Worley said the old drains
were filled up, and probably leakage of
the water pipes which would soon be re-
paired, was partly in fault
Mr.. Anderson thought such drainage
should be at the expense of the property
owners, otherwise the city would have
her hands full.
President Worley read the law in the
case, when Mr.. Anderson moved to amend
Mr.. Schsefer's motion, that the draining
should be done at the expense of the
property owners.
Messrs. Schafer and Hawk thought the
water was mostly caused by the city, and
when the leaks were stopped the steamer
engine could soon remove the water.
On motion the work was ordered to be
done at the expense of owners of the
property.
From F. ]. Winterhalter, N. Market

city will lower his shade trees fronting
his premises. Agreed to.
Mr.. Sch@fer presented verbal petition
OF gentlemen present, Messrs. Isaac Har-
ter and Others. Mr. Harter said two
years ago the city commenced grading |
Tenth street, making a steep pitch into |
hls alley on which was his stable and |
Mr.. Schulze has been grading his lot and |
has undermined the alley, so that there
was danger of his stable and lot falling
down the hill. Mr. Eshelman, his neigh |
Dor, was in worse situation still.
Mr. Schafer moved the Street Commit |
tee investigate and report an ordinance by |
next Monday evening

Mr.. Sch@fer thought the cases were not
exactly alike.
Mr.. Nighman (by consent) only wanted
all to be treated alike on that street and
all over town. He had gone to work and
lowered his trees in the winter, without
asking remuneration Of city and would not
have thought of it if Mr.. Winterhalter |
had not been treated so. He (Nighman)
lobbed and labored for living while Mr.
Winterhalter was a man Of means. and
Mr.. Dannamiller was rich, and he did not
see why those men should not be treated
ike US poor devils who work
Mr.. Scheier gave credit to Mr. Nigh

quire $52,045. Mr.. H. heard the inquiry,
when would this stop?" He would say

tending-when people stopped building
here-and could not stop before. Mr..
Schefer mBde remarks on the same sub
ject.
On motion the rules were unanimously
suspended and the bill read second time
