only abSentees at the meeting of the
city council last night. The lobby was
crowded with spectators, who were
present in anticipation of interesting
developments arising from the street
car strike. They were kept waiting
through long and uninteresting ses-
sion, however, the council first settling
down TO large amount Of routine bust
ness. The first matter taken up was
A communication from Mayor Smith,
vetoing the action of the council at a
previous meeting authorizing the con-
Struction of platform on the east side
of Sibley street for the accommodation
of hotel runners, under a recommended
from the committee on streets.
1.-The appeal is withheld said the mayor
for the reason that there is no provision of
the city charter authorizing the city council
TO place any distinctions in streets, outside
of the regularly constructed sidewalks"
The measure was reconsidered and
referred to the committee on ordinances.
The report of the board of public works
ordering the paving of West Seventh
street with cedar blocks. the city to
bear SOC of the expense, was referred
to the committee on streets. The mat

order was passed for paving the street
between Third and Ramsey streets. A
communication from Chief Clark asking
for the appointment Of forty-three addi-
tional patrolmen, ten to be detailed

street stations, and six at the Union
Park station, was laid over, but was
subsequently taken up in executive Ses-
sion and resolution passed authorizing
the mayor to appoint 25 more officers,
three of them to be mounted. The re-
port of the board of public works order
ing the paving of Washington and Hill
streets was objected to by Aid. Yoerg,
who stated that his father owned 12O
feet of property in that locality that
could not be used for any moral pur-
poses.
II. A. Campbell, who had recently re-
turned from trip to that section of
Dakota devastated by prairie fires, APP
peared before the council with Secre-
merce, to ask aid for the sufferers in

Pherson counties. After considerable
discussion resolution by Aid. Hamm

little disputehaS arisen, and charges of
bribery have been made, was referred
to the cOmmitte on work house for in
vestigatiOn. A resolution Nas intro
duced by Aid. Book providing that the
building inspector be instructed not to
issue permit for the construction of a
packing house to the st. Paul Meat and

Aid. Cullen stated that as the
city had been trying for several years to
abate the nuisance and it s'had now
dDdlcu llScll, lll6 l6SUlutiOH SllOuIu DO
passed. Aid. Hamm thought it was an
injustice to the company not to give its
representatives hearing, and moved
that the matter be referred to the COM
mittee on streets and the building in
spector instructed to issue no
permit pending action, and the
motion prevailed. Poundmasters
