which was read extending the curbstone
to Ninth street.
Mr.. Blake wanted to know II q notice
Of one week was not required before the
introduction OF the ordinance.
The President thought not, but after
reflection and consulting the rules he
decided that notice was required.
Mr.. Moore then gave the necessary no.
tice.
Mr.. Mention reported the ordinance
changing appropriations reported
favorably by the Law and FinancsCom.

Mr.. Farrell gave notice that he would
at the next meeting Of the City Council
introduce an ordinance TO regulate the
ourbetOne markets.
Mr.. Il. g. Moore introduced and had
read q resolution instructing the Chief
Engineer OF the Surveying Department
TO lay off the curb on King street from
Sixth street to Eighth in market spaces.
Merris Taylor raised the point of Or
der that such action would be contrary
TO the ordinance recently passed re-
stricting the market below King street.
Mr.. Blake" second the motion"
(laughter.)
The chair decided the point Of order
not we'll taken,
Mr.. Moore called for the yeas and
nays on the resolution.
Mr.. Baynard said a. this was ques-
tion about which there were grave
doubts and conflicting sentiments, he
would offer the following as An amend
ment: Resolved, That the City Solicit
tor be requested to not commence pro-
ceedings against those who stand In
King street market above Sixth, until
such times AZ the City Council has
definitely settled the market question,
Mr.. Blake wanted to know II the
present ordinance passed by Council
was not q law.
| The chair stated that 1t was.
| Then, said MIR. Blake, let the law have
its course.
| Mr.. Baynard said his resolution was
the same in spirit AZ one offered by Mr..
Merris Taylor, offered at preyiou,
meetiDg of Council, 10 limit the market
to Sixth street, and for which MIR
Blake voted. The change of the marke
was a radical change, and fails utterly
to satisfy the market people. None o.
the farmers arc permitted to snbiel
their spaces, and the consequence i,
that when the farmers do not want tt
occupy their spaces, they are vacant
Some legislation Is required, and hii
resolution WAS to allow the people t.
occupy their accustomed places, until Il
was asoertained what was best to do.
MIR. Blake inquired again If the lat,
Ordinance was not law, and upon tht
chair assuring him that 1t was, then,
he said, let the law alone, until such
time as the markets are filled bott ir
King and Madison street, when the Law
can be changed to suit the demand fol
space.
Mr.. j. H. Moore wanted TO know
what was to become of the farmer
above Sixth street. There was ,
market on Madison street. but th'
farmers cannot be compelled to q
where they will not go.
Mr.. Blake said that out of 139 space
on Madison street only 80 spaces wer
occupied at 10 o'clock on Wednesday
morning. Farmers that stood on KIM
street in defiance of law had rentet
spaces on Madison street with tn
depreciation Of occupying them whei
they are not permitted to stand Ol
King street.
Mr.. Farrell arose to point of order
and asked the ruling If the chat
whether the resolution was in order, II
the face of existing laws.
The chair said the resolution was in
order.
l Mr Farrell then appealed from thu
decision of the chair, but the appea
was not seconded.
Mr.. 4. G. Moore called for the yea
and nays on the substitute offered b,
Mr.. Baynard.
Mr.. Mention said that for the presen
he would have to vote against both tn
, original resolution and the substitute
AZ they both violated an ordinance O
the City Council. The matter was on
, that needed attention. If the farmer
had not room they should be give
room.
Mr.. Blake said that IL the law was a.
!, lowed to take its course there could b
/ a compromise made in the matter salts
factory to all, but let the friends of tn
in the right manner.
Mr.. Farrell, in very forcible address
, opposed Mr.. Baynard's resolution q
being violative of law.
II Il. 9. Taylor wanted to know IL May
\ or Wales had approved the recen
!, ord nance.
i The chair decided the point we
o taken. Further debate was indulge
!. in by Messrs. Daugh, Murray an
/: Grubb, the latter makinga a very fore
BILE plea In favor of the farmer. He sal
a he himself had met several farmers
