BOARD OF CITY TRUSTEES.

The Board of City Trustees held Its regular
session yesterday, all the members present.
The following order was passed IN response
to an application of Mrs. I. Halle IN relation
to an old tax claim:
Ordered, That the city taxes OF 1901
standing against the south half OF the east
half of lot 6, between l. and NJ, Filth and
S;vtb streets. be and the same are hereby can
celed.
the Board by W. ii. Ferre. as claim TOR
damages for injury received from his buggy
being upset from one of the wheels striking a
piece of stone sewer pipe in the street where
he was driving, was again called up, and j.
o. Galloway, attorney for claimant, stated
that he considered the sum of $3.50 would be
reasonable and proper compensation in the
premises to be paid by the city.
James Murray, who had the contract for
the work when the accident occurred, ia said
to have stated that every precaution to in
sure against accident was used, by placing
lights and cross-bars wherever necessary.
After hearing these statements the subject
was passed without consideration.
The order heretofore passed by the Board,
directing the City Collector to issue no license
for sale of liquor within two blocks OF the
City Cemetery, was suspended. 1t is found
that parties sell within the prescribed limits
under county and government licenses, and
thus the effect intended by the order is not
accomplished, and the city is also deprived of
revenue.
A written complaint and petition was filed
by property-owners on | street. between
Second and Fifth streets. complaining that
the said street was not being sprinkled, and
asked that the Board take some action to
cause the same to be properly sprlnkled.
The matter was referred to the Street Com
missioner for him to take such action as
would remove all cause for complaint.
In relation TO the contract of Thomas Han
non for grading o street, between Fourth
and Sixth, Martin Devine appeared before
the Board and stated that he was one of the
bondsmen of Thomas Harmon bound to faith
full performance of his contract, and that he
had taken up the work and intended to finish
the contract. He therefore asked one week s
further time to do the work, and was granted
till the S-h of September.
The Board considered the proposals for fill
ing in the block between G and ID, Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets, and the contract was
awarded to John Rider at q cents per cubic
yard, with bond 6xel at $500.
The weekly report of John a. Cunning
ham, Chief Engineer of the Water Works,
showed that during the past week the works
had been running full time; the total num-
Der of gallons of water pumped was &c, &C.,,
$50, and the amount OF fuel consumed was
l, 1872 cubic feet of gas coke.
