EVENING SESSION.
Mayor Ponds vetoes-List of the New APP
pointees.
Long before the commencement OF the evening
session every avenue OF approach TO the council
chamber was thronged with expectant once
seekers and others Of a political turn OF mlnu,
and 1t was with the greatest difficulty mat the
blue-coated preservers OF the peace could keep
an open passage for those having business Do
yond the barrier.
After some delay for the purpose OF allowing
the minutes of the afternoon session 10 be en-
crossed, Mayor Sanderson called the board to
order, and the new members. with the exception
Of Supervisor Evans, we're recorded as present
large number of petitions for special priv
ileges aud bids for street work were presented
and referred TO the proper committees.
Three veto messages from Mayor Pond were
then received and passed TO print. The most i'm
portan. Of these was that relating TO the tran
corning which The Mayor said:
WITHOUT APPROVAL.
herewith return, without my approval, Resolu-
cifc Fertilizing Company the exclusive right for
| period OF twenty years OF removing all butchers

suitable receptaeles for all such offal garbage.

interest of the contractor rather than for the benefit
| of the people.
1t provides first, that the parties shall keep and
maintain either wharves, buikheads, lighters barges
or vessels in the city and county or shall erect or
! maintain reeeptacles for all garbage.
Query-Which of these are they going to provide?
And on their choice much depends Certainly our
citizens will not be pleased to learn that the
tractors had decided TO convert certain lots either

into recepacles for oal, garbage, etc, and compel
the scavenseTs TO pay them rs cents per load for
the privilege of emptying onto the dump provided.

NOT A FIT FOUNDATION.
The next veto message was in relation 10 the
resolution directing The Superin tendent of Streets
TO cause Front street, from Clay TO Sacramento.
to be repaired with a covering OF bituinlnous
Iock. The Mayor held that the cobble-stone
foundation is not a fit one for covering with
bIiuminous rock, that 10 carry out the work In
accordance with Tie resolution would be a
wrongful use OF the public money. and, lastly,
proved while the blocks Oh either side are left in
the present condition.
The third veto dealt with the resolution ac-
cepIng from Behrend JOost and others deed to
astrip OF land 80 feet wide, extending iIom
SIaid siIeS e Westerly 10 the tdiK,ane Tract,
| parallel with CorDett road, and declaring closed
that portion of COrbett road which runs from
Clara street 10 Douglass street, diagonally
through Block 2O4. The Mayors principal OBJ
lectons 10 tie resolution were, first that Cor belt
road IS, In fact, 60 feet wide instead of 10, as
stated, and has been dedicated TO the public use
| fOrtwenty-eght years. Hence the strip SO gen.
erouslY donated by Mr.. J0Ost does not belong to
him and never did Another reason was that The
hoard had no power 10 deed away city property
in that manner; II the people TO be benefited by
lhe closure have any rights whatever The proper
course 10 secure them is through the courts.
Under The head Of unfinished business there
appeared TO be nothing Of special importance so
upon the MAYORS suggestion that portion OF the
order OF business was suSpa nded aud work taken
up un1er Tie head OF new business.
