THE FULL ROSTER As PASSED BY CITY COUN
Gil LAST EVENING.
Other Matters COnsidsrsd-Ths Granting Of Ii
csnsss and the Constructing Of Switches
Reports of Various Commit
tsss-Othsr Things
Considered.

Council last night, and though some
what protracted, not so very much OF
Importance was transacted outside OF
certain matters pertaining to the CON-
ing municipal election. The members
were unusually prompt in attendance
last night, and eight o'clock found a
quorum in both branches Of Council.
After the reading Of the minutes, the
rules were suspended and the appiica-
tions for licenses were taken up. A
license was granted to Joseph Webb Tor
coffee house at 1926 Market street, In
place of the former firm OF Webb q
Conrad E. NJ. Statler was granted a
| license to conduct billiard hall IN the
rear of Hearne's saloon, on Market
street. M. ]. Morris was granted a
! license as auctioneer.
The La Belle Iron Works asked per-
mission to construct tramway across
McCulloch street. 1t was referred to
Committee on Railroads and the City
Solicitor.
The report Of the Committee on Fire
Department concerning the new Ahrens
fire engine, and itA trial test, was &C.
cepted.
The Main street Bridge Commission
ers made their report, which was read
and accepted.
Anthony busch, of the Sixth ward,
asked for reduction in his assessment,
stating that he was out Of town when
the Board of Equalization and Appeals
was In session, and could not presen
the petition to them. His request was
| granted.
The Wheeling Ice and Storage Com
pany asked that their assessment OF
ST., 900 this year be reduced to at least
! 500, 600, what it was last year, and that
it really ought not to be over $50, 600.
Councilman Baily stated that the petit
ton had been before the Board, that 1t
was first considered by the sub-commit-
tee, and then by the Board as whole,
and that a committee of three, consist
ing of Cecil Robinson, W. A. Wilson and
P. j. Farrell, carefully investigated the
premises and believed they had made a
fair assessment. After long discus
sion, however, Council decided to hold
| the assessment where 1t was, and so
voted. 1t remains at ST., 900.
1t appears that when the company
went to pay taxes the other day, they
were asked to pay on S121, 900 assess
ment, $50, 900 on personal property,
having by some mistake been added. As
! the company has no personal property,
this was clearly regarded as an error.
Garvey McDonougd represented that
| his premises were considerably dam
aged by the placing ct a catch basin at
the southwest corner Of Twenty-ninth
and Chapline streets. Referred to the
Board of Public Works.
City Clerk Thoner's report for the
month showed the balance in favor OF
appropriations up to date as SIS, Alb. 96.
Collector White showed the total
figures on the ffty-centlevy as SO, 1879
and On the ten-cent levy Sc, 1920.

viously given in the REGISTER was then
