The regular meeting Of Council held last
evening was largely attended by the mem
beers, and q large amount ofbusiness was
disposed q. The only paper left on the
table Of the Second Branch is an ordi-
nance adopted by the First providing for
gates and watchmen at a number Of i'm
portant railroad crossings in the city,
which has been made the special order |
for the next meeting Of Council. During
the past three years number OF like ordi-
nances have been brought before Council,
but for some reason they have proven In
operative. This one is supposed 70 be
properly worded and provided with the !
proper penalties, etc. A few unimportant
resolutions are on the First Branch table. |
The new $500 600 loan ordinance was
properly passed. by both branches last
night. The Second as soon as 1t con-
yened, took It up from the table, put 1t |
on It's third reading by its title and adopt |
ed II. The First read 1t three times,
amended by inserting Bank Of the Ohio
Valley in place OF the Commercial Bank
as the place where the bonds, shall be me-
sotiable, and this Tas concurred in by the
Second. Tho rate OF interest remains the
same, 5 percent. It now remains to be
seen whether the people will approve the
ordinance by the requisite three.afths
vote.
