REPORTS THE TINE OF MEET
ING CHANGED.
City Council met last evening in
regular season, President Sharpley
in the chair. The proceedings were
somewhat slow, and an adjournment
was not effected until few minutes
before 10 O'Clock, although the busi-
ness done might have been transact
ed sooner.
The Street Committee reported
adversely on the petition of Chas.
Heebner, asking Council to grant
Frank Canardy permission to erect
a stand on Eighth street, between
Market and Shipley streets, for the
purpose of selling fruits, etc. The
report was adopted.
The same committee reported in
favor of awarding the contract for
city hauling to Henry McKenney, at
37h cents per load. Adopted.
A favorable report was made by
the same committee on the petition
Of John j. Gallagher, asking that
Market street, from Fourteenth to
Twenty-third, and Vandever Ave-
nue., from Market to La Motto, be
sprinkled.
Mr.. Chandler opposed the report.
He did not think it necessary to
sprinkle the streets asked for in the
petition.
Mr.. Barnhill said he hoped the
petition would be adopted. He
thought Council had as much right
to sprinkle those streets as French
and Fourth streets.
Mr.. Merris Taylor said that French
and Fourth streets were not a paral-
lei case. Those streets were ma
cademized against the wishes of the
citizens residing thereon, while the
streets in the Ninth Ward had been
in their present condition for num-
ber of years. He thought that if the
report was adopted Council had a
right to sprinkle all the streets at
the public expense.
Mr.. McGlinchey said that was the
reason why he did not sign the re-
port. He understood that there were
number of petitions being prepared
for the sprinkling of various streets,
and he thought it better for Council
to stop at once.
Mr.. McMenamin said he had sign
ed the report in order to get the
sense of Council ON the matter. He
had heard of other petitions being
prepared.
Mr.. Barnhill called for tho ayes and
nays, and the report was rejected by
the following vote:

nance creating building inspector,

now pending in regard to the matter.
The report was adopted.
The same committee reported ad-
versely on the petition of Lawrence
Messick asking permission to erect q
stand on the N. Z. corner of Third
and King streets, during market
