Another special meeting Of Council
was held last evening for the purpose OF
considering the Main street bridge loan
ordinance, the election Of weighers and
the filling Of vacancies in some OF the
loan commisslouerships, and the trans
action Of unfinished business generally,
The loan ordinance was finally passed
and all the unfinished business disposed
Of, but by the time that was done II
was SO late, 1850 o'clock, that the mem.
bers did not feel like entering on the
election OF weighers and commissioners,
which would have taken two hours,
The absentees last evening were Messrs,
Meyers, Robinson aud SChrebe, OF the
First, and Bailey, Marsh, Charles Miller
and Young, OF the Second,
The loan ordinance first received a.
tention in the First Branch, II came
from the Ordinance Committee with the
recommendation that the bridge be Of
iron, Over the question as to whether
the bridge should be OF iron or stone,
there was another big fight in the Sec
ond, but this time the stone men won,
as they also did in the First. The last
time the matter was up in the
second, the iron men were
in the majority, The ordinance as
finally passed calls for 1880 loan oil
S75, 900 at 4 per cent interest. Some OF
the amendments made by the First
Branch were funny, For instance, the
name by which the bonds are to be olli-
Cially designated was agreed upon rs
follows: "The Wheeling Greek Bridge
Bonds on Main street."
The First also got the dates iearfully
mixed up, The Second Strengthened the
dates out; the name OF tho bonds was too
much Tor them and they let it stand. An
effort TO provide S25, 900 in the loan for
Strengthening Caldwells run was knock
cd in the head, The bridge talked Of Is
forty.two or forty-iour feet wide,
which, it is estimated, will cost from
SS5,OO0 to $4,000, yet only $4,000 is
provided, The people are to vote on the
ordinance June'l5.
