The Committee on Public Works met yes
terday afternoon and organized by electing
Kirk I. Bigham Chairman. The regular
meetings OF the committee will be held on
the first Tuesday of each month.
An ordinance requiring owners of lots
fronting or abuttIng streets or alleys to make
connections with the public sewers caused
some discussion. The ordinance developed
opposition because it was thought to apply
ing buildings on them. Mr.. Holiday said
the amended measure did not contem-
plate vacant lot connections. but only those
upon which were buildings. DR.. Evans hoped
the proposed amended ordinance would be
adopted. Saloon keepers dumped the refuse
and slops of the barrooms out on the public
streets and the smell arising was sickening.
The ordinance was referred to Councils affirm
atively. An ordinance for the grading paving
and curbing of Washington avenue was voted
