THE CABLE TRACK.
Alderman PinkLam verbally reported
| the work going on upon the streets. Ih'
street force consisted of seven men, includ
ing the Street Commissioner and his as
~sistant. He drew attention to the c0ndi
ton OF Main street below Park, where tn
cable track is under construction. He IN
derstood the Street Railway Company still
hoped to have the cable road in runnin
order by New Years, but under the presen
frosty conditions it would beimpos sible TO
the city to bring that portion G
Main street to grade except at great ex
pense. Ii left as now, nearly a couple q
feet above the bed OF the cable roadway,
would be very dangerous during the white
and the city would be liable for damage il
some way or other. He therefore suggested
that the street car company be requests
! to cover up their track for the season s.
that the city might fill it up and put it i
a safe condition for the winter.
On motion OF Alderman Pettes the Git
Clerk was directed to instruct the stree
railway owners to put Main street betwee

teams at once.
