HE WANTS TEAMS.
The water overseer putin requisition
for number OF teams for repairing the
dams and bitches of the water system.
Mr.. Innes moved to defer action one
week, but after some discussion with
drew the motion. The question was
then on the requisition, and Mr.. Nick
ell thought council ought to sit down
on such requisitions until the water
overeeer rendered written report of the
probable expense for the season. Mr..
Innes asked Mayor Hazard, who hon
ored the council with his presence, to
obtain some estimate from the zanjero.
The mayor stated that he did not like
to interfere with officers Of his own ap-
pointment, but suggested that resolu-
tion to the same effect passed by coun-
Gil would certainly be honored by the
zanjero.
Mr.. Nickel again arose and said that
as long as he has been a member of
council he has never heard of written
| report from either the zanjero or the
zanja committee as to the expense of re-
pairs or as to anything else. The
requieition was passed by vote of 8
yeas and l no.
OPENING HOFF STREET.
The final ordinance for the opening of
Hof street was presented and Mr.. Rees
raised the point that the ordinance
would not hold because it provided for
opening Hoff street while there is no
such street. Assistant City Attorney
Dunn was called in and said that the
ordinance would be perfectly legal be-
cause it accurately described the land
which hereafter is to be known as Hoff
street.
The question then was on the appoint
ment of commissioners. Mr.. Nickel
said he had talked with people interested
in the new street and was of the opinion
that they would be better satisfied with
new commissioners than if the old ones
were appointed. He could not see why
the old ones should always be reap
pointed while they still had lot of
work to finish.
The election was then proceeded with
by ballot. The first roll call resulted as
follows: G. M. Wells. 6; E. T. Field,
s; John McIlmoil, 4; W. G. Hughes, 4 +;
N. E. Davisosn, a; John Moriarity, 4.
The second blank was filled thus: w.
G. Hughes, Z; John Moriarity, A..
Messers. G. M. Wells, E. S. Field and
w. G. Hughes were accordingly elected.
Mr.. Nickel moved that q clause be in
serted in the ordinance fixing the pay
of commissioners at 81 day for
actual time devoted to the work.
The insertion was made, the rules we're
suspended with reference to the city
| printing and the ordinance was passed.
Mr.. TUFTS then moved to require from
the commissioners full report every
| two weeks as to work and progress.
Carried.
Mr.. Rees moved that the city clerk
be instructed to notify the new commits
sion that no acquisitions will be passed
in which Office rent is charged, because
there is plenty OF room in the city hall
| in which they may do their work. Car
ried.

At the request of Mr.. Rees, the city
