Mr.. Maxwell, of the Seventh ward, here
sallad rho attention of the iOmmiffpta To the
fact that in 1889, he had let the Seventh
ward 20 until the last, and had received but
=. 200 of new work. He now asked that
his ward be remembesed for sewers. In
reply to a question as TO what he wanted,
he said he wanted about 5000 for sewers.
The members of the Committee acknowl-
edged that the Seventh ward ought TO have
something extra, but there was feeling
that the precedent TO commence in the First
ward and come on down through the city
ought not TO be violated.
Mr. Harrell then took the floor, and
asked that square on Market street,
from Eighth to Ninth. be paved, saying he
hoped to see from Tenth 10 Ninth paved in
the Second, thus carrying the Market
street pavement up to Eighth street. Mr..
Harrell met with the opposition of the
committee on this, however, in view of the
scarcity of cash, and he reluctantly gave it
up. He then asked for the improvement of
North Main street, from the Ravine north
to the ferry landing, including pavement,
curling, wall and fence along the railroad
track, S2,5s9, and this was allowed by the
committee.
In the Second ward, Mr. Tracy asked
for sewer on the west side of the Market
House, from Tenth to Eleventh streets,
s451 80; and 5000 for improving and cob
bling Charles street These items were
allowed, both coming out of the ten cent
levy fund
In the Third ward, Mr.. Pollock asked
for -, 100 to pave with fire brick EOff street,
from Twelfth to Fourteenth streets. He
got it after hot fight, from the ten cent
levy fund
Mr.. Farrell spoke for the Fourth ward,
and asked to have Seventeenth street
paved with fire brick, from Wood street to
the Seventeenth street bridge, Si.7j0.
There was another big objection to this,
and warm discussion, which euded in the
motion being lost by rising vote and the
ward was passed over, for the time being
Later he got his money.
In the Fifth ward Mr.. Hamilton asked
for 81 $50 to pave Market street from the
south end of the Market street bridge to
the south side of Twentieth street, and
$3.50 to pave alley ID from Twenty Second
street to alley 10. He got it,
Mr.. Klyker of the Sixth ward, asked for
1900 for opening Merritt street, $500 for
cobhling alley + from Twenty-seventh
street 10 Twenty-eighth street. The
amounts We're allowed.
Mr. Maxwell again called the attention
of the committee to the fact the Seventh
and Eighth wards would get nothing. be-
cause they came in at the tail end, where il
was certain the money would not hold
out There was big discussion over the
matter, members from up town urging that
the $4,000 for Caldwell's run ought 10 sat
isfy the Sixth ward members. Mr.. Tracy,
Mr.. Harrell and Mr. Pollock thought the
Seventh ward ought TO have fair share,
because the ward had to wait last year and
in 1855, and Mr.. Maxwell was appealed TO
for statement Of what he wanted. He did
some figuring, aud said he ought TO
have 81 900. OF which $3.s12 was for sewers
and s.. 200 for graveling. Mr. Tracy then
moved the Sixth ward step out. on the
ground that promises favorable TO Mr..
Maxwell had been made last year by the
Fifth and Sixth ward men. In response
to this, the Sixth ward, by Mr.. Klyker
agreed TO drop 81, 045 from his estimate of
81 ,S45, leaving the total $500. Then Mr.
Maxwell cut his estimate TO 8, COO for sew
ers Mr.. Farrell got his 81, 100 for Seven
teenth street, and Mr.. Schrahe 81 ,93s. 80,
and the committee agreed TO it all.
Mr. Maxwell then offered resolution
that the Committee urge the Board Of Pub
lie Works to take sl095s from its contin-
gent fund to pave McCulloch street, from
Sixteenth street TO Eleventh street. and il
was adopted unanimously
Mr. Tracy then offered a resolution that
the committee stand solidly by the report
they had drawn up, and especially by Mr..
Maxwelrs McCulloch street resolution.
This was adopted, Mr.. Schrabe voting no.
When the REGISTER reporter left the
CITY Hall at II 20 p m. the sweet soprano
voice OF Mr.. Tracy could be heard clear 10
st. Matthews chu,ch, arguing with Mr..
Schrabe.
