and later presented an ordinance for the re-
lief of the firm.
Mr.. Garrett presented an ordinance estab-
fishing the grades OF certain streets in the
vicinity OF the new school over Eleventh
street bridge.
Mr.. Garrett moved that the time of Martin
Keogh for completing the grading at Ninth
and Harrison streets, be extended from Sep
tember 1st to November 1st. The gentleman
in explanation of the motion said that Mr..
| keogh had been awarded the contract for
grading Clayton street below Delaware ave-
nue., and as the Water Committee were deslr-
| GUS of laying ten inch water pipe at the
earliest moment, they had asked the Opening
Streets Committee to permit Mr. Keogh to
go to work on Clayton street.
Mr.. johnson desired to know If the time
for completing Ninth and Harrison streets
had not been extended once. He was in
formed by Mr.. Garrett that it had been.
Then said MIR. johnson, ~ shall vote
against further extension"
Mr.. Garrett, "Mr. Keogh has not asked
| for the extension"
Mr.. Eastbun said while he would like to
see the people ON the west sid of town ac-
commodated, he would also like to see the
east side also. Mr.. Keogh had received the
contract some time ago for the grading of
Heald street on the south side. All he has
done toward the work is to pillow two burrows.
If the time is extended as asked for now we
will not get Heald street graded until next
| summer.
Mr.. Garrett replied that when the grad

| tleman from the Second wa rd urged the
matter, saying tina th' re would at least %
houses be erected as soon as the work was
| done. He further urged that the contractor
be sent there, even If he only removed five
| shovel-fulls of earth, SO that the residents
might see that Council was in earnest
Mr.. Eastburn denied the remarks of the
gentleman from the Seventh ward.
Mr.. Murray said he thought 1t bad pre-
cedent to extend the time. This man takes
contracts and he should be made to do them.
1t seems that the time is to be extended in
order to allow him time to furnish stone all
| around town.
Several of the members demanded to know
whele the stone was hauled.
Mr.. Murray began to enunerate, but
Mr.. Garrett raised the point of
order that Mr.. Murray was not speaking
strictly to the question.
The chair ruled that the gentleman from
the Tenth ward had a right to answer Mr..
Blake's question as to where the stones were
hauled, but he would also state that the
had stones been donated to Mr.. Keogh.
rot an accommodation to Mr.. Keogh but to
the Water Committee.
