and SlTafghIened.


and SlTaighIened.
Ten aldermen We're present at the special
council meeting last evening, called for the
transaction of general business. The sum
of $3.50 was allowed on the contract of y.
i. Neven for building the highway bridge
of Western avenue across the railroad tracks.
A communication from the board of public
works requested that the award for grading
DucaS street be Tescinded, called out some
discussion on the main question in which
Aid. Bryant, Dowlan and Van SlYke spoke
against the trestle work, while Mr.. ). Is.
Crosby representing some West side prop
erty. who was allowed to speak, claimed that
the property holders had been misrep-
resented. The matter was recOnsidered as
requested, and on motion of Aid. Dowlan
again referred to the committee on streets.
The reason for resembling, as given by
Corporation Attorney Murray, was because
no estimate had been made for retaining
walls on the former place. The opening,
widening and extension of Eaton avenue.
from Elizabeth to Belvidere, and Earl
street. from Randolph to the southeast
corner of Wrights addition. were ordered.
The matter OF widening Sixth street west
was so changed by recOnSidering former
vote that the board of public works can re-
port in favor of widening it at its crossing
with ST. Peter by taking a corner off the
Catholic block and the property opposite.
