Side Hose House.
There was just a quorum seated in the
council chamber last evening when Presi-
dent Whitcomb raped for order. The
members ceased examining their new
desks and chairs, but doubtlessly con-
tinued indulging in speculation as to the
identity OF the law makers who had pre-.
viouslv used the furniture. One lone
some reporter sharpened a pencil at his
rosewood table, G. N. Potter acted for
City Attorney Van D~evanter and Engi-
neer Miller, Clerk Kuykendall and Mar
shal Schnitger were In their places. Even
the severe storm did not keep away a few
spectators who usually attend council
meetings.
The Cheyenne & Burlington railway,
by its attorney @. N. Potter, asked that a
certain trust deed held in the Stock
Growers bank be returned to the corpor-
alton. The communication set forth that
the company had expended more than
$40, 900 in this city. The deed was in
effect a bond conditioned on the compile
ton of the road to this city prior to June
l, 1887. The matter was referred to the
finance committee.
Three south side property holders petit
toned for the extension of the water sYs-
TEN on Eleventh from Capitol avenue to
Ferguson street. The water committee
will discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of this partic-
ular extension.
l.. Kabis set forth that he was very de-
sirous of purchasing a portion of lot s.
block Alb, which realty is the property Of
the city of Cheyenne.
Two estimates for the cost of contem-
plated extensions of the water main were
presented by City Engineer Miller. If the
officials plans are carried out about So
375 will be expended in this direction dur
ing the current year. Resident of North
Ferguson; Themes, Twenty-fEth to Even
weight; Twenty. second, Eddy to O'Neil;
Snyder, Twenty-frst to Twentieth, west
to Dillon; Evans, Ninth to Eighth, east to
Van Lcnncn will be benefited by the cx.
tension.
Mr.. Miller suggested that the u inch
maines be extended from Twentieth to
Sixteenth street and the pump house re
moved to the lake. The former would
cost 50, 500. This change would more than
double the capacity of the system.
The bill budget was unusually small.
The following accounts were allowed.
Jas. b. Walsh. 200
M. Kinney. 400
T. f. Dolan. 1850.
}. {. $40. 300
Il. Il. harnlsh. 500
At this juncture the finance committee
recommended that the deed in escrow at
the Stockgrower's bank be delivered to
the Cheyenne & Burlington Railway com
pany upon payment of $500. On mo-
ton the instrument was ordered trans
ferrcd.
Mr.. Hcbard introduced an ordinance by
request. 1t is amendatory and supple
mentary to the City Gas COMPANY char
ter. BY the provisions of the ordinance
the corporation is granted a free
right of way through the streets and
alleys of Cheyenne for the purpose of sup
plying the citizens with Illuminating and
heating gas. The alteration in the origi-
nal ordinance is the insertion of the clause
in relation to the manufacture, transmits
sion, ETC., of fuel gas. Nothing to the
contrary having been said, 1t is fair to
presume that the local concern contem,
plates the placing of a plant for the pur,
pose OF supplying gas to be used for heat.
ing and other domestic purposes.
Some time since an ordinance granting
right Of way to a company which proposed
to supply this new commodity was intro,
duced, but was subsequently Withdrawn.
A vote Of thanks was extended to Sec.
rotary Shannon for his courtesy in loan
ing desks and chairs to the city for the
purpose of furnishing the council cham.

Mr.. Altman introduced a railway ordi,
nance which will take the usual course.
The proposed regulation prescribes the
manner of placing crossings, etc.
Mr.. Murray suggested hat the exten,
sion OF the water system should receive
immediate attention.
On motion Of Alderman Altman the
water committee was authorized to order
pipe and advertise for bids for the extern
sion of the system.
Mr.. Hebard moved that the public
building committee be empowered to I'M
prove the city hall by making certain al.
