THE CASTELAR, STREET EXTENSION.
Mrs. Mary Banning, claiming to owl
a majority of the frontage on Castela
street, demonstrated against the open
ing of that street. az it would entail Al
expense far above any benefits to b'
conferred.
Mr.. Miles, in behalf of property hold
ers living above Temple street, said
they wanted direct route into the
business portion of the city without 60
ing through "Sopora town." go they
wanted the street cut through.
Mr.. John Stoughton said he was the
author of the protest. The object was
to root out the disreputable dives on
North Main street and other tributary
streets. If CASTELAR, were opened it
would direct the traffic from Bellevue
avenue to Temple street and the houses
of ill-repute would become stronger in
possession than ever.
Mr.. Nickel moved to dismiss the
protest.
Mr.. McGarry said this was very dis
courteous way of treating the PROPOSE
tion. 1t should be referred either to a
committee of the council or the head of
some department.. He moved to refer
to board of public works. Lost.
Mr.. Innes now moved to dismiss the
protest. The motion was lost ayes to
noes.
Mr.. Nickel now moved it be heard on
the second Monday in January. which
was carried.
GRADING BUENA VISTA STREET.
The third special order of the day was
the ordinance to grade both sides of
Buena Vista street. At present one
side of the street is high bluff and the
people living west of it do not use it.
They 90 around the bluff and take Rock
street to reach their destination. Mr..
Scott, a property holder on Rock street
and Buena Vista, addressed the council
against the proposed improvement. He
showed that the work was q big ex-
pense without any benefit in sight, and
he therefore asked the ordinance be de-
feated.
Mr.. Dockweiler was called upon and
addressed the council upon the PROPOSE
ton and showed the profile of the
streets upon Fort Hill. The grade
seems to be dispute between property
holders on the east side of the street
and those on the west.
Mr.. Innes said there were several
legal questions involved in this matter
and he moved it be referred to the city
attorney. Carried.
SOME SEWER MATTERS.
Mr.. Dockweiler was heard in refer
ence to the proposed 3O.inch sewer con-
duit at Also and Los Angeles streets.
He said the sewer was an old one, and
he wanted time to look it up. It was to
be done, not at the cost of the city, but
at the cost of private parties. The sewer
committee had presented an ordinance
to give 1876 feet of sewer pipe, 30 inches
in diameter, for repairs of sewers at
Also and Los Angeles streets. gift to
the property owners. When he asked
for a horse and buggy to do the business
of his Office, he was told he was wasting
the city money. Now councilm are
giving away sewer pipe to the very rich
est men in the city.
Mr.. Nickel said the city had bought
$4,000 worth of pipe some years ago,
and had corporation yard full of it.
1t cost good deal of money to haul it
about and take care of it. an d he was in
favor Of working it off at every possible
point.
The question recurred to the adoption
of the sewer committees report, in
favor of donating 135 feet of pipe. A
call of the roll showed ayes and
noes, and as it was q proposition requir-
ing a two-thirds vote, the chair de-
clared the motion lost. The case was
then referred to the city engineer.
The following proposals were present.
ed for building sewer on Montreal and
Boston streets and Bellevue avenue:
J. L. Mansfield, 81 cents foot for the
sewer, $85 for manholes, flush tanks
$l00, lamp holes $40; Frick Bros, 81 IA
per lineal loot for the work complete.
J. E. White, SO cents foot for the
work complete; Thomas Grant. 7S cents
per foot for the sewer, $40 for manholes,
SIP flush tanks. Referred to sewer
committee.
THE COURT HOUSE SIDEWALK.
The proposition to narrow the side
walk of the four streets about the new
court house was the ne xt matter that
came up. The car tracks on Temple
street have used up go much of the mid
die OF the street that new curbing be-
came necessary to allow more room
for the passing of teams. The requisi-
ton Of the street superintendent for
$2SS. 80 for work done at New High and
Temple streets was allowed, and the
supervisors notified that any further
work done on that block would be at
their expense.
