THE HIDE STORE.

Then began the regular complaint about the
hide and leather store of Messrs. We'll Teller,
on LaSallc street. 1t began by a communication
from the health officer, who thought there might
be just cause Of complaint, because of the mag
nitude and character of the business. However,
since it is not desirable to suppress the business,
he recommended that shipments be made before
DAM. Hollecker, from the health committe,
said Mr.. We'll had been doing his best to ship
early, and found that only Mr. Sanders was dis
satisfied with the store the other ncighbors made
no complaint and he CIolecker) was satisfied
Mr.. We'll does his best to avoid oflense. Phelps
said, two years ago the council restricted Mr. We'll
to making shipments before A. NJ, and thought
this restriction not unreasonable. Hossack said
he had gone to the store several times and he
believed Mr.. We'll did the best he could under
the circumstances. Phelps moved that he be
compelled to ship before 9A.M. The attorney
said he thought the city had power to regulate
the matter. Logan said he had known the place
for a long time, the only question is, ''1s the
store q nuisance?' He did not think it was, but
he thought it was annoying Phelps's motion
was lost.

SIDEWALKS.

SIDEWALKS.
The Mayor suggested that the sidewalks of the
city were getting very bad; that if not repaired,
sooner or later the city would be forced to pay
bills for damages The city having adopted the
general sidewalk law, has the power to compel
them to be bult.-Catlm suggested that com
mite examine the walks and serve notice on
these whose walks are defective, ordering the
walks built, and that if they be not built, the city
build them and assess the cost to the lets to be
collected with the general taxes. The law was
read; whcrrupou Hull made motion embodynS
the plan suggested by Mr. Catlin, which was
carried Notices will be served and parties gi-
ven l5days to built walks if not done in that time,
the walks will be built and the cost collected
with the taxes Of 1879.
COSTS.
Logan reported bill of costs, from the circuit
court, against city, recommending the payment
of $500; ordered paid when the taxes Of 1879
are collected.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Logan reported also, the hose racks built; the
engine "Clty Of Ottawa" repainted; a new team.
ster hired; and the hose company anxious to
whether the council is ready for that Thought it
policy to have wagon to haul coal in case of fire
If one is bought house should be built for it;
and if built, it should be large enough for the
hook and ladder truck, to make more room IN
the engine house. The shed should be Of brick,
and if the tower is taken down, the material In il
would roof the shed.
SALOONS.
The bonds of 81 saloonsts were approved and
licenses will be granted To them.
WATER FOR SCHOOL HOUSE.
DIR. Stout, being granted permission to speak,
said he and Mr.. Butler had been appointed to
ask the council for permission TO tap the pipes
supplying Washington square reservoir for water
for the third ward schoolhouse. The supply had
been obtained from the Reddick well, but that
had been shut off, having closets in bad coEdi.
ton. They asked permission to tap inside the
square or outside, agreeing 10 do no damage.
Catln moved that they be allowed to tap the
pipes in the street south Of the square and run
pipes TO the school house. Logan said the city
had no water TO spare, and since they wanted an
inch Granddaughter pipe they had better get wa
ter from the well to W dug for the High School.
The Board were granted permission TO tap the
pipes, they agreeing first TO see if water can be
had from the High School well.
FIRE WARDEN.
The mayor suggested that fire warden ought
10 be appointed. Murphy wanted bricklayer;
White wanted to provide sinecure for expo
liceman Becker by appointing him warden and
fireman for steamers; Logan SAID that was not
a fair deal to the young man who has been acting
as volunteer fireman; Leonard wanted Pete Mey-
er to have the place; Logan said the pay ought

To ignore the warning Of approaching disease
