AID. L'HERAULT PROMINENT
The Snow and Sprinkling Ordinances
New City C0ntracts---Council
Routine.

u The committee on ordina noes yester-
day sent in substitute ordinance for the
one presented by Aid. Cloutier some
time ago, in regard to removing snow
and ice from the sidewalks and prohib-
.ating the sprinkling salt on the car
tracks. The ordinance is in every re-
spect similar to the one introduced by
aid. ClOutier, except that it covers only
the business portion instead of the
whole city, residence portion and all.
hIhe rules were suspended and the Or
.huinance passed after being slightly
amended. Aid. L'Iierault wanted the
street commissioners to have charge of
the work instead of the alderman, and
an animated discussion followed. Fin
ally the matter came to a vote, and the
alderman from the First was heavily
sat down upon, as his motion
did not get a single vote, except his
own. Aid. Parker wanted the penalty
of from s. to 500 stricken out. saying
that it would work great injustice to
man who might be absent from the
city just after big snow storm. An all
around wrestle followed, in which
nearly every city father aired his elo-
quence. Aid. Parker's motion was lost
by vote of "a to 10. One week is al
lowed in which to remove the snow and
ice now on the sidewalks. Following
are the streets and avenues from which
the snow and ice must be removed:
Central avenue, from suspension bridge
to Sixth street; Washington avenue,
from Cedar avenue to Twentieth ave-
nue. north: Hennepin avenue, from SuS-
pension bridge to Thirteenth street;

STREET SPRINKLING.
The committee Oh water wOrke made
a report resolving that the city should
do all street sprinkling by day labor
during the comii g year, instead OF by
contract system, as heretofore. The re-
port was long one and decidedly YER
bose. and at the conclusion of its read
ing Aid. BarrOwS wanted the matter re-
ferred to the city attorney. Aid. Mills
did not think this necessary as he was
sick of hearing such small mattere re-
ferred to that official. Aid. E. NJ. John
son said he was surprised that any aid
erman should object to have this or any
other matter referred to the city attor
hey. He thought every ordinance or
resolution should be referred. On mo-
4tiOn the matter was deferred two weeks,
and it was further ordered published
and referred to the city attorney.
