EXTENSION OF UNION AVENUE.

last evening was unusually brief and de- ] void of interesting features. It was with that 8 quorum could be secured, l but finally by -dint of hard work City l Sheriff Brannagan succeeded in collecting a sufficient number to constitute quo rum and the business of the meeting pro cseded with twenty members present.
 A communication was read from the board of health calling attention to the fact that the condition of Hamilton street, between the clock shop and Grand avenue, was such as demanded immediate atten- tion, owing to the fact that that portion ot the street was uncovered. The communt- cation stated that the present eewer in Hamilton street, which at present ends at the clock shop, could bs extended to Grand avenue for about s200 and requests that the sewer be extended immediately. The communication was referred to the com- mittee on sewers.
 Mayor Sargent presented oommunica-
 tion relative to the extension of Union
 avenue. His communication stated that on November 14, 1891, the common coun- cil ordered the extension of Union avenue from its terminus at the depot to Spring street; that subsequently, the railroad de- sired to make certain alterations and asked for & new layout of Union avenue from the junction of State and Water streets to the corner of Carlisle and West Water streets, agreeing if the layout was. accepted the company would opsn the street and curb l it.
 The mayor says that this was granted and now the railroad company has se- l cured the right of way, and is prepared to carry out It's obligations. In this conneo- l tion the mayor suggests that in view of the ! fact that an extension' was ordered at the ] time the smatter was frat broached, an ex- | tension of the new roadway should be made, and asks the board to rescind all it's l former extension of Union avenue from | it's present terminus to Spring street, and 1 make layout eighty-five feet in width to l extend to Spring street from the terminus ! of the proposed new~Union avenue at the l corner of West Water and Carlisle streets, | in substantially the same direction, to Spring street, as originally intended. Councilman Hoadley opposed the re- | scinding of the former actions of the board | of councilmen and advocated the referring | of the communication to the committee on | streets. Councilman Glacking opposed this method, stating that he did not un derstand the full gist of the communica
 tion and as he did not propose to vote or any question in the dark, he desired that
 the matter be tabled for printing. Coun
 cilman Hoadley's motion, however. pre-
 vailed and the communication was referred
 to the committee on streets.
 | Another communication from the mayol
 was read calling attention to an offer mad
 by the Register Publishing company offer . {rr %of frr oh fno ;t1 xrifb ofo oo
 of national flags conditionally that the flag
 should be displayed from the city fsgstaf
 385 days in each year. The mayor recon
 mended that the offer ba accepted and ths | committee of one alderman and one coun
 cilmsn be appointed to make the necessar
 arrangements. The recommendations wsr
 adopted and subsequently, Councilman Pun
 derson was appointed as the councilmani , portion of the committee.

 ing committees, after which the meetin
