Seven members and II. II. Fuller Oc-
cupled seats at the desks when the as
sembly was called to order last night.
MIR. Fuller took position at the left of
ASsemblyman johnson, and during the
discussion attending the passage of the
ordinance relating to the building in
spector's office pulled the string in
skillful manner.
A Communication from J. j. McCar-
dy calling attention to resolutions
passed by the council i'll September,
1888, and March, 1887, was referred 70
the committee On ways and means.
The communication stated the city ell
gineer was drawing $400 per year for
the use of horse aud buggy, and the
assistant city engineer $500 fer the same
purpose. In case the tsyment
We're to be continued, IT, comp
to that effect. Mir. Reardon sent the
note to the committee ON ways and
means. The electric light at ST. Peter
and Seventh streets was ordered re-
moved 10 Sibley street and the leyee.
The board of public works reported in
favor OF opening and extending Hazel
avenue from East Seventh to Harvester
avenue, the cost of the improvement be-
ing estimated at $1,000. The ordinance
introduced by Mr.. Pike repeating an
ordinance passed in June. 1890, giving
Theo Hamm the right to lay spur
track across Fauiuier and Reaney
streets, was sent back from the COM
mittee with an adverse recon-
mendation. The report was adopted,
but later in the session Mr.. Pike moved
reconsideration, and the matter was
discussed at length. The committee
was unanimous i'll its report, William
Hamm having explained the necessity
OF the track to properly run tie brewery
and mill now in operation. The firm
intended to expend about S125,000
in new buildings-in fact, had
already portion of the work completed.
On accOunI OF competition i'll business
1t was necessary that there should be
land all around the proposed track was
owned by the firm, he saw no reason for
a repeal of the ordinance granting the
privilege. He didn't want to be per-
SOnal, but thought the movement was
actuated by jealousy. The person who
circulated the petition owned property
three blocks away, and could not be
affected by the improvement. The
firm of which he was a member
had always gwen both money and time
to secure and encourage manufacturing
interests, and this action he thought was
against the interests of the very indus
tries the city Vas endeavOring to foster.
AL this being explained to the assem-
bly,, the motion of Mr.. Pike to recon-
slider and refer back to the committee
foranother hearing was voted down,only
one vote being recorded in favor Of such
reference. The National Subway COM
pany secured the passage of a resolution
granting them the privilege to construct
two miles of conduit OH Third, Wabasha,
Seventh, Jackson and Sibley streets be-
fore August, 1898. The. passage of the
resolution practically suspends for one
year section of tue original ordinance,
which gives t&e council the right to
order the company to lay not less than
one mile of conduit within six months
after an order being issued to the COM
pany. AS one of the officers explained,
the resolution was asked for not exactly
in the interests of the public. but it
would amount to that in the end, for the
subways laid, the city could order all
overhead wires under ground.
