ouire SO inches, or 10 inches more q the
pavement than his old building had 'oc.
cupied. His petition was quite lengthy
one and set forth very infinitely every
thing that might be desired to BIZ known
by Council.
PERMISSION GRANTED.
Mr.. Hildreth offered a resolution grant
ing to Mr.. Reilly the right to construct an
area 90 inches wide, commencing on the
south side OF the building II ieetfrom the
Market street line and running along
Fourteenth street not to exceed 10 feet to
be guarded on the south anil west sides by
a substantial iron railing.
Mr.. Hearne said that he did not desire
10 antagonize Mr.. Reilly's interests, but he
doubted whether Council could legally
grant this right and quoted from Dillon
on municipal corporations and from 20
Grattan 53i, showing that the courts had
held in every case OF this nature that the
municipal corporation could not grant
privileges such as asked for by Mr.. Reilly;
they being held TO be public nuisances.
Mr.. Hearne moved that the petition be
referred to the City Solicitor for his opin-
ion as to whether the right could be given.
This motion was lost by. a vote OF 3 TO II.
Mr.. IIildreth thought that precedent
had madeit possible for Council to legal
| " grant the petition. Mr.. Hearne moved
az an amendment that Mr.. Reilly be re-
dulred TO give bond with good security to
hold the city harmless against all costs and
damages arising from Guch grant. This
was adopted with tho resolution offered by
Mr.. Hildreth.
The Water Board reported that 1t had
elected Dir. NJ. NELL, assessor OF water
rents, vice Mr.. NJ. Edwards, resigned. Mr..
O'Neill was confirmed and his bond 81
$4,000, with Kennedy Friend, P. Kenne-
dy and James Divine as suretles, was ap.
proved.
The Board OF Public Works presented
its new bond made necessary by the cleo.
ton OF Mr.. 4. @. Egerter toilll the yacan-
cy caused by Mr. Butterfeld,s death.
Tile loan ordinance was then taken up,
read once for Information and then for
amendments and debate there was plenty
OF the latter. 1t was finally ordered tn its
third reading and then laid on the table
until the next meeting, which will be q
regular one, when vote will be had upon
Ia passage. This was done so that there
might be no question as to the legality OF
Its passage at q regular meeting.
