PETITIONS AND PROTESTS.
The following petitions and protests
were read and referred;
A. p. Cross, street-sprinkling con-
| tractor, asked the council to have
erected three water tanks in the hill dis
trict to supply sprinkling wagons. The
petition says: "The scarcity of water
during the summer months in this por-
tion Of the city necessitstes delay in
filling sprinkling wagons at the by
drants, as they now are from one-half to
three-quarters of an hour each time,
whereas, with reasonable time for filling
said carts nearly double the amount of
water could be put on the streets. You
are aware OF the scarcity OF water in
this locality, and these tanks would
be of great advantage to the
street-sprinkling service as well as
great saving to consumers who
have barely enough water to keep
their lawns alive. These tanks could
fill at night when water is not used for
other purposes. We certainly think at
the very low price this work is being
done, that the best of water service
should be furnished. Our teams and
men are kept nearly one-half the time
waiting under water hydrants for tanks
to fill, from defective water service. We
recommend these tanks be located at
Orange and Wilmer, Third and Wilmer,
and Belmont and First streets.
Petition of L. M. Moloney and others,
asking that measures be taken to pre-.
serve the roadway built by the city east
of Seventh street bridge. Moderate
sprinkling is urged to keep it from be-
ing ruined by heavy teaming.
Protest of A. II. Judson, S. Hubbard
and others against proposed change of
grade OF Bellevue avenue, between Alva-
RADIO and Ida streets.
Protest of G. III. Stewart against the
confirmation OF the report of the com
missioners for opening and extending
Sixth street west of Pearl.
Petition of E. G. Seymour asking
council to abandon a projected alley in
the rear of property at northeast corner
of Jefferson and Florida streets, as said
alley will never be in demand for busi-
ness purposes.
Petition of Mrs. HI. B. Marion, asking
return to her of the delinquent penalty
assessed on her property on Seventh
and Grand avenue for widening Seventh
street.
Petition of S. Hibbard, E. S. Hibbard
and others, asking that the grade OF
Casco street between Temple street and
Bellevue avenue be established so as to
conform with the present established
grade of Temple street and Bellevue
avenue.
Petition of L. J. Hammond, asking
that the proposed paving of Pearl street
be postponed for six months, the matter
having been delayed by the street car
company's refusal to pave their part of
the street.
Petition of Charles M. Rolfe and
others to have the grade established on
North Alta street, from Downey avenue
to Margar street, distance of three
blocks.

Little Interviews Which Were Noted
Yesterday.
F. B. Henderson, chief clerk Southern
California Railroad company-S Some
people talk about times being dull, but
the railroads do not find business 30
very light. have been trying for some
time to get vacation but work piles up
in most persistent way. Where will /
spend my vacation? 1 haven't got that
far yet; must get it first.
w. G. Morrow, writer-Yes, I was
much pleased with the success of that
competition in the Examiner for the
completion of story / commenced.
There were over 500 competitors. Did
any of them come near my own plot ?
Not one. The supposed twin brothers
in the completion of the story 1 wrote
turned out to bs one and the same man,
under two characteristic forces which
alternately denominated him. Every
one of the competitors proceeded on the
idea that they were twins.
Gen. Eli II. Murray-I never remem-
ber seeing political matters so mixed up.
Why, my friend, E. S. Babcock, has be
come free trader.
X. FL. Wade, general manager South
ern California railroad-I have tried
always to preserve the Spanish names OF
places, and when we build new lines,
and new settlements spring up, if can
bring it about they have to be given a
name characteristic of the past regime.
Why, fellow came to me recently and
wanted new station near his property
named Tompkinsburg- -Tompkins was
his name, you know. told him if he
would translate Tompkins into mel
lihuous Spanish word, we'll and good,
but if he failed, and thought he would,
the station would have to be La Rosita.
Tompkinsburg would look very pretty
on semi tropic railroad time table, he
thought Fla qs
s. B. Dewey-You have some bright
men on the HERALD. Now those little
talks you print once in a while called
"Chat" are very bright and piquant, but
I am always half afraid to talk to a
HERALD man, for fear he will take a
note. If you ever do you'll have to put
on the gloves with me.

the man arrested in this city some
months ago and taken to Buffalo tc

Opening the Canal.

The most acceptable proposition that can be
made to persons troubled with chronic consti-
patton, is to open that important canal-the
bowels. That proposition can be carried out
by the parties interested If they resort to Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, the most effective,
most genial alternative extant. 1t Is the mis-
take of many otherwise sensible people, that
they resort to drastic or in other words, violent
purgatives. without exaggeration, this is
highly injurious, since such medicaments
weaken the bowels, beside convulsing both
sought from the Bitters comes freely enough,
but they never produce pain, excessive action,
or subsequent weakness of the bowels Liver
and kidney trouble, malaria, dyspepsia, lack of
stamina and tendency to rheumatism are
remedied by this pleasant substitute for drench-
