Ordinances ordering the grading O
Edgeware road, the paving of a part O
Temple street, and the construction of 6
sidewalk on Figueroa street, were reat
and adopted.
Upon the petition of J. s. Frick, fol
the correction of an assessment fol
grading purposes on Manhattan avenue
the Street Superintendent was ordered tt
make the correction.
The custodian of the building was in.
structed to have the thing in the fire.
place of the council chamber repaired.
The street superintendent reported
that the garbage contract had gone int
effect, and that he had six horses fc,
whic he desired carts.
The finance committee reported that il
had examined the bond of the City
Bank and had found that, according te
the assessment rolls of the city, the
sureties did not possess enough property
to make the bond sufficient. The com
mittee therefore recommended that the
bond be returned for further sureties.
Mr.. Childress said that some of tn,
best men on the bond could not Justify
to the amount named in the bond. H,
doubted whether even the wealthies
men in the city could Justify in al
amount equal to one.half of their rea
wealth, if the assessment roll was to b.
taken as a basis. According to the
figures of the finance committee the
sureties were only worth $3.50 900, which
would leave $270, 900 to be obtained, and
this he thought would be an imposition.
The bond, he held, was worth $500, 900,
and should be found to bs 30 by the
much more it wanted on the bond, he
would tell whether or not the bank would
furnish it.
Mr.. Hamilton said that while he be-
lieved that the men who were on the
bond were worth what they aid they
were, the assessment rolls did not say
so, and this was all that could be taken
as basis.
Major Bonsall suggested that if the
report OF the committee was adopted
the Council should say how much more
surety the bond should have.
Mr.. Wirsching suggested that if the
bank give securities in $l00,0 real
properties the bond should be sufficient
President Fraken6eld said that the
Council should be satisfied that the men
were possessed of the amounts in which
they justified in property which WAS not
exempt from execution.
After discussion of half an hour the
finance committee requested permission
to withdraw its report, and present it al
the afternoon session with an amend
ment. Granted.

across the river to A. 81. Nelson

The land committee recommended tha
the proposal OF Mr.. Lambie, to lease
reservoir site No. 6, be rejected
Adopted.
The City Assessor reported that he
had appointed F. H. Tesle as deputy
in his Office. Appointment confirmed.
The gas committee recommended the
granting of a franchise to Geo. w. Kin g
for the laying of gas mains and pipes II
the city. The ordinance granting the
same was read. 1t contained a clause
providing that two per cent. of the groef
earnings OF the company be paid to the
city.
Mr.. Shafer objected to this clause, 81
it would be prohibition upon the man
ufacture Of gas. The city was not large
enough at the present time to impose
such tax on industries.
President Frankenfeld said that some
years ago he had proposed that the
street railroad lines pay q certain pei
cent. of it's earnings to the dity. In lii
