THE ORDINANCE PASSED.

Chairman Magee, of the Finance Commit
tee, presented the ordinance. 1t was unan-
imously passed without a word of argu-
ment. 1t did not reach the select branch
owing, it is said, to some sudden hostility
to it, When it is produced at the next
meeting Councilman Lambie, at the request
of numerous constituents, will produce a
battery of arguments against it.
In Select Council an ordinance was intro
duced providing that since public health,
comfort and convenience will be greatly
promoted among the people by suppress
ing, so "a: as possible, the emissions of
smoke thr roughout the city devices for such
suppression having been perfected and
made attainable at slight cost, therefore,
hereafter all railroads and railways are
granted permission to use any kind of fuel
in their locomotives and engines. provided
smoke consumers or smoke preventers shall
be used thereon as shall receive the ap-
proval of the Department of Public Safety
of the city of Pittsburg. This includs the
power hoIIses of traction railways.
The Financ eCommiutee sent to Common
Council resolution authorizing the Chief
Of the Department of Public Works to Sc
cure options on property required by the
city. Mr. Magee said this was intended to
prevent the city from being charged higher
prices than property could be bought for
were it not known that the city was the pur-
chaser. The option in no case will be bind
ing until the Councils approves the transac-
tion. The resolution was passed in both
branches.
