THE STREET LAMPS.
The committee on improvements
made the following report:
Your Committee to whom was re >
terred the request OF the City Council,
November 18th, 1888, respectfully
recommend that all lamps ordered
hereafter be placed in the centre of the
streets where !h9 foliage is dense
enough to obstrucC the lights, but in no
other case W uld We recommend lamps
to be placed other than on the side
walks. With reference to removing
lamps already up. your committee is
confronted with the petition of Charles
Read and twenty others Directing to
removal OF the lamps on First South
Street from the sidewalks to the centre
of the street, and therefore suggest that
the City Council require at least so
per cenC. of the property owners con-
sent before changing their present loca-
ton.
Mr.. MCCoRNICK-Is there any proVi-
sion IN our G ,ntract with the Gas Com
pany as TO the slz9 of the burner to be
used III the street lamns2
Mr.. SHARP-The contract calls for
slx-foot burner.
Mr.. MCCoRNIoK-Wen go far as nv
observation goes, should say that
some OF them do not reach over two
and half feet.
Mr.: YoUNG-If We pay for Xix feet We
ought to have it.
Mr.. MCC0RNICK-There is certainly
something wrong. l saw one gas lamp
to- night that necessltated the striking
of matcn to find it.
Mr.. DooLY was in favor of the lamp
being placed in the middle of the
street, and in this Mr.. Piper saw eye
to eye With him.
Mr.. YOU'VE thought the placing of
the lamps in the centre avoided the
danger OF collisions between teams, and
this did away with the chances of great
danger to life and limb.
Mr.. RITER-There is certainly great
danger in driving along dark streets,
and light in the centre would avoid
all this. If a couple of persons ran
against each other on the sidewalk
there was no great harm done.
Mr.. CLARK-No-unIess one has held
of sand bag.
The report was f 1ally tabled, pending
further investigation.
THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.
Mr.. Ritter informed the Council that
the committee on sewerage had held a
meeting and decided to engage the SER
vices of an engineer to Immediately
make surveys looking to the proper
location of the main sewer. The COM
mittee had directed the engineer to
run lines on all streets to the south of
First South and locate the best street for
the main lever. They had engaged
one engineer -in-chief and he would
place two or more parties in the field.
He is practical man and it Is abso-
lutelv necessary that these surveys
Should be made before any further
steps can be taken, and before contracts,
etc.. can be let. If the action of the
committee can be ratified, the engineer
and his assistants will at once go to
work. The action of the committee was
ratified, and the engineer will commence
Work this morning.

services as city surveyor, $685.. was al

ferred the petition CT John Carruth' rs
