The Council was called together last night
in special session to take UP a few matters
that were laid over from the last meeting.
but very little was accomplished. The
resolution annexing the strip of land ad-
joining Woodruff Place on the east. run
ming from Rural to Auburn street, was
passed. and the one providing for the an
nexation of North Indianapolis was referred
to the judiciary committee The latter.
if it had been passed, would have taken in
about seven hundred acres lying lmme-
diately north of the city. but the Demo-

A petition of citizens asking the Indian

lines on Morris street to East street was re-

the Blind was referred to the finance CON-
nittee. A declaratory resolution to have
Pennsylvania street. from Ohio TO seventh
street. paved with asphalt was passed.
The one providing for q similar pavement
on Alabama street was practically killed
through the influence of several of the
Trusts officers, who were in the lobby.
The Trust opposes the pavement be-
cause if the ordinance is passed
and the pavement ordered at present, the
company would be compelled to lay its
mains without delay, and this. its officers
claim cannot be- done. Councilman Casper
recalled an ordinance from the files which
will compel managers of bankrupt and fire
sales from outside the city to take out q
three-hundred- dollar license, and upon vio-
lation thereof to be fined not exceeding
$780, and be imprisoned in the work house
for thirty days. 1t was read second and
third time and passed, after which the
Council adjourned.
