TO COME Up NEXT WEEK.
Alderman Cam wanted the matter laid
over until the next meeting, and the public
notified through the papers of what the
road wanted. He said he understood that
there was considerable opposition by prop
erty owners to allowing a road 70 run
through South Broad street and he thought
they should be given an opportunity to pro-
test. he was also opposed to using Wheaton
street for a railroad at the particular point
desired, as it was the only way OF getting
into popular driveway. The alderman
made a motion TO lay the matter on the
table until next meeting, and the acting
| mayor being unable to decide the vote, the
| yeas and nays were called for, and resulted
in the adoption of the motion. The vote
follows
! YEAs-Aldermen Harmon, Reid Harris,
/ Carson. O'Brien and Cam.
! NAYs-Aldermen Bailey. MCGUIRE and Mel
drim.
U.H McLAws, ESQ, presented the petition
Of the Savannah and Isle OF Hope railroad
company, which asks for the same streets
as those in the Enterprise petition, and it
! was referred TO the social committee on
railroads, with proviso that the company
submit its charter to the committee.
THE ENRIGHT STAIRWAY.
The committee on streets and lanes, to
which was referred back, at the meeting on
Feb. is, the case Of the Earight encroach-
ment. in the shape of stairway in Brough-
ton street lane, near Whitaker, reported
that the stairway was violation Of a city
ordinance.
Alderman Bailey made motion that the
rapport be received aud the marshal ordered
TO remove the stairway. When a vote was
called for there were several "noes." Tho
chair being unable to decide, another vote
was called for.
Alderman Carson said that he understood
1t was the sense Of council, at its previous
regular meeting, to have the street and lane
committee frame an ordinance to cover this
and other similar cases.
Alderman Bailey replied that the city had
Just finished paying 81, 800 for an encroach-
ment that had been allowed to 60 up on the
other end OF the same lot on State street,
and IL this e1croaohment was allowed to re-
matn maybe in twenty years the city would
be called on to pay like amount for it.
Another thing which he thought should be-
done was the enforcement Of fine against
Mr.. Enright for violating an ordinance.
The motion was again put simply on the
adoption OF the report, and it was adopted
unanimously.
THE MARKET ORDINANCE.
The ordinance offered by the market
committee at the last meeting, providing
for the appointments Of an assistant clerk
u 1no hlaEAet Nv SOV per IuOuLu, caused
considerable discussion.
Alderman Meldrim opposed II, because he
didn't believe in creating any new offices or
increasing expenses. II the former clerk
OF the market managed to get along with
out an assistant, the present one should do
likewise or be dismissed.
Alderman Reid, chairman of the market
committee, explained that the expenses
would not be incress cd, from the very fact
that the former clerk employed a foreman
at $50 per month, and the assistant clerk
would do the work required by that posi-
ton.
TO HAVE AN ASSISTANT CLERK
Alderman Harris supported the ordinance
lately essential for an assistant to be ap-
pointed, as one man could not do all tho
work necessary, and as a result the market
could not be kept in a clean and sanitary
condition.
The ordinance was finally adopted with
but two dissenting votes, those OF Aldermen
Meldrim and O'Brien.
Alderman Meldrim offered an ordinance.
