When the report of the committee and
the action of the board of aldermen had
been read, Councilman Hoadley arose and
vigorously advocated the acceptance of the
report of the committee and consequent
non concurrent action with the board of
aldermen. Councilman Glacking of the
Eleventh ward opposed, and strongly ia
vored concurring with the board of alder
men, thus rejecting the report.
After lengthy debate the body by an
aye and nay vote decided to not concur
with the board of aldermen, but to accept
the report of the committee on streets and
favor the bonding of the city. The council
men favoring concurrent action with the
beard of aldermen were: Belden, Schultz,
Coin, Burke, Punderson, Boschant,

amend the report of the committee by
striking out anything in it referring to
certain streets to be paved first, and alsc
by extending the time during which the
bonds should run from ten to fifteen years
Councilman Cohn raised the point of or

of order was well taken, and that the re-
port had been accepted.

proposed amendments; but this was re-
