much yexed question of the pay roll of the
hands and carts in the street department

OF the representatives of the street Com
mittee. Chairman HargrOye and his com
peers consented 10 a compromise ana
agreed to recommend that the Council give
the street Committee $4,000 Tor hands and
carts. The Board of Aldermen will meet
