MANY MATTERS SETTLED
Ey the Aldermen ut Last Nights
council Meeting.
At the council meeting last evening the
clerk read message from Mayor Rice We
toing an ordinance granting Pierce Brothers
permission to erect slaughter house in the
vicinity of. the Minnesota Transfer. The
mayor assigned as the reason that the
proper notice had not been given in a daily
paper for at least week, as required by
law. also that there was so great objection
made by the people living in the vicinity of
the proposed slaughter house. When
the ordinance was before the council II. G.
James, on behalf of the Seventh ward resi-
dents presented a number of circumstances
against the proposed slaughter house,
signed by the residents of the vicinity.
These were presented because Pierce
Brothers have already given the proper no.
tice by advertisement and another or
dinance had been prepared. The ordinance
failed of passage. The mayor also vetoed
the resolution directing dismissal of the suit
by the city against Henry Schwanss, and
the ordinance shared the fate of the other.
For the first time the council refused to
pass ordinances for the removal and re-
building of frame buildings inside the fire
limits because notice had not been given.
Several were proposed. to enable the re-
nOval of buildings from property con-
demned for slopes on Ducas street. These
ordinances have invariably been vetoed by
the mayor but the council has hitherto i'll
sisted on passing them and violating the
fire limits ordinance.

The special committee to whom had been
referred the Croonquist- Kenney election
contest reported, recommending that a

tjmony, according to the rules for contested
