CITY COUNCIL.

Proceedings at the City Council
on Tuesday evening, April Goth
I1Ss1,sMayor Little presiding:
A petition was submitted signed
by VIM. J. Newman and 1913 others
asking the Council to cause the
removal of certain slaughter
houses, located within the limits
to the Sixteenth and Nine
teenth Wards. The petitioners set
forth that they did not desire to in
jure the owner or owners of said
houses, as witness their fOTbearance
in not prosecuting said owners for
the past few months. They simply
desired the removal of the slaughter
houses to a sufficient distance from
the city to be outside the radius OF
petitioners nosUrils. The simple
matter of complaint and fine Tor
nuisance made no substantial change
IN the condition of affairs; it might
perhaps effect a general clean up as
often as the complaint is lodged, but
petitioners knew from experience
that "You may break, you may shat
ter the vase if you will. Out the
scent of the roses will hang round
1t STILL" They therefore asked the
abatement of the nuisance. Referred
to the marshal with instructions
to enforce the ordinance in relation
10 nuIsances.
A petition was submitted from
Elias Morris & Co., setting forth
that they had for some years claimed
a certain parcel of land in the south
east quarter of the southwest quar-
ter of section "a, township one north,
of range one west, containing ten
acres, more or less, and that they
had expended several hundred dol
lars in building a shoot, digging a
dugway, laying a railroad track and
off surface soil, ETC., for the
purpose of developing said claim.
As the sale of said land
to other parties would work a
great injury to petitioners and for
ever preclude the possibility of re-
aliZlng anything from their invest
ment, they respectfully asked the
privilege of purchasing the claim.
Referred to the committee on public
