the c. b. & Q. r. r company possessing
the right to lay q double track on that
street in front of their property, az they
claim was granted by the passage Of an
ordinance on the oath of last month.
The officer of this division of the road as
we'll as attorneys Of the road as will be
seen by the report of the meeting pub
lished elsewhere. were promptly on hand 10
quiet the fears OF these property owners
with the assurance that it was DO part Of
the present intention of the railroadcompany
to build such road This would not satisfy
them and the council By resolution said
that such portion Of the ordinance of
April Oath as conferred the right of way
to the road west of 18th street should be
repealed" The property owners then
went home as happy as though they had
actually accomplished the purpose set

The reelection of Mr.. James Taylor as
chairman Of the board of supervisors for
the ensuing year is very handsome COM
pliment to faithful and competent Of
6cer. Considering the political complex
ion of the board, when party lines are
drawn, Mr.. Taylor may we'll be proud of
this mark Of respect and confidence on the
part of his associates. This action of the
board is no disrespect to the other gentle
men named for the position, but a courtesy
due to Mr.. Taylor and goes far to show
that the new board does not intend to en-
cumber their action and proceedings with
useless political questions, but will enter
at once and earnestly into the discharge of
the proper work of the board. In this, the
selecting Of committees will have much to
do, and herein the good sense aud tact of
the chairman in the selection Of those best
adapted to the respective work of the COM
mittees will come in play,
The new board starts off vel, with every
evidence that their deliberations will
not be marked by partisan or personal
action.

Special Meeting OF the Council.

A special meeting of the council was
held on Saturday evening to act on petit
ton of property holders on First avenue,
relative to the right of way of the c., B. |
Il @. along that street west of 18th street. |
The mayor being absent, Aid. Lundy was
elected mayor protein. The railroad COM
pany was represented by Messrs. Swee-
ney, jackson & Walker, and Gen. N. J
I. Dana, superintendent Of the St. Louis
division, and the property owners by
James j. Parks, ESQ. There seemed to
be an impression that the company in
tended to lay track along the line Of
First avenue at once-that it would be
done on Sunday, and. to secure the pro-
perty. owners, AN immediate repeal was asked
of that part of the ordinance granting right
Of way along the avenue, west of 18th
street. Mr.. Sweeney for the company dis
claimed any intention of laying track and
said that toe whole thing was scare orig
mated by interested parties; that he was
authorized to guarantee that there should
not be a rail or tie laid within so or 60
days-and urged the council not to act
hasty in the matter. There were, he said,
vast interests at stake and important legal
points involved which ought not TO be has
tily considered and that if the matter was
delayed for 80 days, or at least until the
points at issue were clearly understood,
the council could then act intelligently.
Mr.. Jackson also spoke in the same
strain and urged cool action, deprecated
unseemly haste and classed the matter as
a great scare, without any real foundation.
Mr.. Parks replied in a short, sharp
earnest speech in favor of the immediate
repeal Of the ordinance granting right Of
!, way and insisted that the matter
should not be delayed, that if the railroad
company saw fit track could be laid in
six hours. Then Mr.. w. j. Browne, Col.
Bracket, and others spoke and the matter
was given the council for action.
MIR. Kellerstrass, while in favor of grant
ing the prayer Of the petitioners was op-
posed to hasty action and thought com
mittee Of three should be appointed to re-
port at the next meeting,
AuawaIt, was opposed TO hasty action
Cameron thought the whole thing scare
Finally KeIlerstrass' motion was amend
ed by Aid. Koch, to grant the prayer c!
the petitioners and the amendment was
carried by the following vote:
! Ayes koch, Wagner. Kellerstrass
| Kennedy, Hitler aud Warren-G.
| Nays;-Donaldson, CameroO, aud Ana
walt-3.
| Some discussion followed as to the prop
er course to pursue to make the action Of
the council binding and it was finally set,
tied by the adoption Of resolution by
AID Hitler, repeating that part OF the
ordinance of April oath, 1879. which gives
right of way from 18th, street west on
