CRosswALKS AND APRONS.
A board of public works recommenda-
ion came in as supplementary report
to the one given above. 1t was one of
the ma tiers turned over to the present
council by the old one. 1t recommended
about dozen crosswalks in the First
and Second wards.
(Mr. Munson in the chair.)
Mr.. Tsed-I am opposed, Mr.. Chair
man, to spending so much money on
crosswalks that coat from 500 to $50.
The gentleman from the First ward had
predecessor who was the best CROSS
walk statesman | ever saw; and the
gentleman who now fills that chair is a
worthy successor to him. do not deny
that the city gets the benefit of this
crosswalk legislation, but the condition
of the city treasury forbids the expendi-
ture of 30 much money. 1t is getting to
be the biggest leak of all the treasury
leaks. | shall oppose it. The ordinance
passed-ayes 7, noes l.
MR.. HELLMAN PROTESTS.
I. W. Hellmsn now appeared before
the board, to protest against the adop-
ton of petition II (board of public
works., and reconsideration OF the vote
was had, and the whole matter was
postponed for two weeks.
MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR.
A message was received from the
mayor relative to the accumulation of
storm water at the intersection of Bos-
ton, Pearl and Montreal streets that q
suitable storm drain be put in to carry
of the water, and then that street be
graded at the property holders expense.
Mr.. Strohm said the city engineer was
present, and he would like to hear from
him on the matter.
Mr.. Dockweiler said property holders
would be willing to have the street
graded if properly done. The accumula-
tion of storm water could be removed
cheaper than by laying 30.inch drain.
Mr.. p. f. Donegan said il could not
be drained with less than so inch pipe,
duu hC WOuiu dSi 60 W BldoO tIC btlOCb
80 as to carry off as much water as the
storm drain, at less cost than storm
drain could be built for.
Mr.. Dockweiler said he had wanted to
grade Boston street to carry off water in
this way. but he had always been met
with remonstrances covering more than
majority of the frontage. He thought
q storm drain could be built at cost Of
| 81 per linear foot, and he doubted il the
street could be graded for that.
Mr.. Donegan said that merely grading
the street would not. in his belief, re-
move the nuisance. Much of this accu-
mutation OF putrid water is on private
property owned by nonresidents. 1t
involved doubt in his mind if the drain
or the grade would relieve the accumu-
lation of water. The question was re-
ferred the board of public works.
THE CABLE ROADS.
Mr.. Innes presented resolution re-
quiring the Pacific Gable Railway COM
pany to make the curve at the intersec
tion of First and Spring streets at half
speed.
Mr.. Rhodes said the subject had al
ready been made q portion of the city
attorneys report, and he could probably
submit an ordinance to that effect. The
case was referred to the city attorney,
with instructions to prepare an ordi-
| nance to that effect.
MR.. MANSFIELD s. CHECK.
Mr.. Rhodes moved that the check of
