Thercportoi thecommittcc on[inanco
was read. Section l was amended by
Mr.. Craigmoving thattwolye.inch crock
sewers be laid in Alley L and Alley L
and tho sewer in Alley I DO extended.
Mr.. jefferson moved to amend, by NOV
Ing TO devote S3,225 CO, to be used in lay
inr q " Oh Alley + to Byron street,
and paving Eoif street from Sixteenth
TO Fourteenth street, to paving MCCol-
loch street from Sixteenth TO Four
tenth. MIR. Jefferson spokeistrongly in
favor OF paving McColloch street. Mr..
Kenney said tho finance committee had
considered the matter and had come TO
the conclusion that the ten cent levy
could not be used on streets which had
been macadamizcd. Mr.. Jefferson said
that this talk about the ten cent levy
was a mere bubble, and had been knock
ed in the head several times. Mr..
brock agreed with Mr.. Jefferson. Mr..
Bailey agreed with Mr.. kenney.
Mr.. Jefferson said he didSnot believe
that 500 had been spent on the portion
OF the Third ward back OF the hill in
some years, and that it was not fair to
thus discriminate against the citizens
living out there. Mr.. Jellerson's amend
ment was carried.
THE rES-CENT LEVY DISCUSSED.
In the first branch there was 4 little
fight III Mr.. Jcfferson's amendment.
Mr.. Robinson called the attention OF
this branch to the fact thai the ordi-
nance under consideration a%ppropria-
ted money for catch basins and iron
ratings on streets that had already
been improved. This being the case,
why should not McColloch'stteet, which
had been improved only by macadam-
izing, also get the benefit ofthe ten-cent
levy. Mr.. O'kane said heSwonld vote
for the amendment, unless other ap-
preparations, on old improved streets,
out OF the ten-cent levy, be stricken
out. The amendment was carried by a
large majority, and the ten-cent levy
boogaboo was downed forever.by Coun-
Gil at least.
Mr.. Horstman, OF the Eighth ward,
objected in tho first branch to the
amendment offered by Mr.. Craig in the
second branch to lay twelve inch crock
sewers in Alleys E and I and TO extend
q sewer in Alley F. Mr.SHorstman's
amendment was carried, gnamely, to
pave the first alley north OF Thirty-third
street, and to repave the catch basin at
Thirty.third and. McColloch, near
Schmulbach's brewery.
When the ordinance went back to the
second branch Mr.. Craig said that he
still insisted that his amendment was
the proper one Council hadS already
spent lots OF money for the benefit OF
the brewery in the Eighth ward. Mr..
Morningstar, Of the Eighth ward, also
agreed with Mr.. Craig. lie said the
South Side needed sewers more than to
pave alleys, and he objectedto deyot-
ing all the Eighth wards money to the
benefit OF one firm. The second branch
refused to concur in Mr.. Horstman's
amendment, and non-concurred in the
action OF the first branch. Messrs.
Morningstar and Craig we're appointed
committee to confer with acommittee
IRON the first branch. The latter branch
appointed Mr.. Horstman on the COM
mittee.
Mcssrs. Horstman, Craig and Morn
ingstar conferred together and finally
compromised by recommending that
The catch basin near the brewery be re-
paired, 4 sewer be laid in Alley L, and
70 extend the sewer already laid in
a recommendation was received from
the gas trustees, asking that's IN ordi-
nance be drawn up giving it the right
10 90 its " paving; also asking that
the city solicitor be ~instructedSt to draw
up an ordinance, with penalties, cover
ing the nuisance OF boys throwing
stones ut electric light globes and the
prevalent DETACHMENT OF electric light
poles; also that Council reconsider its
acIioh IN granting free gas to Certain
parties. That portion regarding a new
ordinance was referred to the CITY solic.
itor, and the other portions we're re.
ce!Sed and filed, and there they rest.
NORTH HURON TO DE pAvED.N
On behalf OF the Seventh ward Mr.,
Brock moved to devote a lot of money
appropriated by the finance committee,
" laying ewers and placing curbs on
une Island, to paving North Huron
street from New Jersey as far rs tho
amount, S2,I6S, would pave.
WI; kenney said he thought it would
hardly be courteous to Mr.. Maxwell,
VINO was not present, and who had
mapped ont the uses to which the mon
ey,was to be put.
MI. Brock offered a motion, that Mr..
hoOinson, OF the first branch, a men,

70 address the second branch. Mr..
Moolnson said that the members from

suited with Mr.. Maxwell, but rs he was
