THE GAS QUESTION.
communication from the Excelsior gas
light company asking that no award of con-
tract be made until thorough scientific, as
we'll as practical test be made.
Aid. Mccarthy favored the idea.
He had asked the Globe company
and they were willing to let
the other companies use their po is. Fur
ther, that they would furnish light right
along at the usual rates. This would give
test of Saroni's light and the others by the
use of all the lights for a month or six
weeks.
Aid. Dowlan thought the matter out of
order; the affair had been duly examined in
TO, and the special gas committee were ready

nication on the table. Carried.

FROM THE RoARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
A report and order recommending the con-
struction of sewer on Tenth street between
Cedar and Wabashaw.
Aid. Griggs offered protest from VIM. F.
Mason against the construction.
Aid. Dowlan presented a petition from
Smith d Lewis and others, saying they
would pay all assessment for the sewer in
front of their property, and urged the coun-
Gil not to consider Mason's protest.
Mr. Mason was allowed to explain his op-
position, which he did at length. The
gentleman had a private sewer con-
in good order. The gentleman state Mr..
Sewall had never seen the sewer, and his talk
about its condemnation was ill-advised. IL
towards Jackson, he'd favor it, but he did
oppose the assessment in the other direction,
and would allow connection with his sewer.
The rock formation prevented the extern
sion in the proposed direction unless at
great expense.
Aid. Dowlan stated that Mr.. Mason had
no right to give permit for the connection,
as he proposed to Smith & Lewis.
MIR. Mead was allowed to answer. He
contended that Mr.. Mason violated
the sewerage ordinance by extending his pri-
nate sewer or giving permit for connection.
70 be sure, Mr.. Mason owned five lots, but
how long it might remain in his hands was
another question. And if it passed from
his hands, Smith & Lewis connections
would be useless, perhaps. The law should
be followed, and the sewer put in according
to system, in the reefs.
Aid. Grace and Mccarthy both favored
Mr.. Mason's views. If the people wanted a
sewer so bad. they could get connection
through Mr.. Mason's sewer.
Aid. Grace moved the adoption of the
boards report, making it read that the sewer
be made when one half of the assessment
was paid in.
Aid. Sanborn moved that the whole matter
be referred to the aldermen of the Second
ward, with instructions to investigate and
report within four weeks.
The motion prevailed.

sumed, and the following recommendations,
