by the property-owners on the east side
OF Front street. from I to l., requesting

1ngs, be so modified as not to apply to

the petition ought to be granted. He

AGAINST IMPROVING AN ALLEY.
A
grading and paving the alley between
Seventh and Eighth, J and X streets
The signers asserted that they did not
want the work done unless the city paid
one-tourth OF the cost, as it did on street
work.
The remonstrance was referred to the
Street Commissioner.
WHO'S Boss?"
After considerable argument between
Trustee Mclaughlin on one side and the
Mayor and Trustee Conklin on the other.
a motion was made by the Mayor to in
Btruct the City Engineer to draw up reso-
luton OF Intention to improve Eighth
street, from = to G., by basalt macadam.
An amendment was offered by Trustee
Mclaughlin that the street be called up
for improvement by either gravel or
basalt.
The amendment was lost, Trustee
Conklln and the Mayor voting no, and
Mr.. COnklin said he was tired of seeing
petitions come in and then again to find
out that the same persons signing the
Irst petition had signed another directly
in conflict with the first. This was the
way with the Eighth street matter. On
the first petition the majority of residents
wanted the basalt rock pavement, but on
the other hand the demonstrating petition
also contained a majority. he proposed
TO pay attention TO the first only.
"Pu give notice that I'll look up the
law, and see what powers the Street Com
missioner has in regard 10 street work"
said Trustee Mclaughlin, who appeared
to be somewhat piqued by the action OF
the other members.
Il want TO know who is Street Com
missioner" said he, land while l find
that out Hll forbid my deputies to make
out the resolution as the board ordered
it.v
The Mayor called in Mr.. Phinuey and
told him to make out the resolution, but
Mr.. Mclaughlin forbid him TO do so.
1t strikes mo that you gentlemen are
running afoul of each other" remarked
Mr.. Phinney.
The members Of the board thought so,
too, but when Mr.. Phinney requested
them not to place him in such q predica-
ment, they concluded TO let the subject
rest for week.
