TEMPLE STREET AGAIN.
Mr.. Gaffey then moved that all pro-
ceedings in the matter OF the Temple
street cut be vacated, and that this pres
ent proposed improvement ia a virtual
cloud upon the title, as nobody can sell
their property while this improvement
IS hanging over it, or borrow any money
upon their property.
MIR. Gaffsy and Mr. Innes had quite a
little spat over the matter. Mr. Innes
contended the matter was fully adjudi-
Gated, and could not now be brought up
again. This led to some warm words.
Mr.. Gaffey said Mr.. Innes had told him,
just before council met, that he was in
favor OF Mr.. Gsffey's course of proceed
ure, and had then voted against it. The
chair rebuked them both.
USELESS RAILWAY TRACKS.
Mr.. Strohm moved that on and after
January let the street superintendent
take up and remove to the corporation
yard all railway tracks that are not used
daily.
Mr.. Campbell inquired if similar
resolution had not been adopted by the
council some months ago.
Mr.. Munson said the resolution called
upon the railway corporations to re-
move their useless tracks themselves.
The motion called upon the street su-
perintendent to remove all rails to the
corporation yard and the expense to be
borne by the companies themselves.
F, He said that wagons were broken down
and peoples property injured by reason
of these tracks, and no railway COM
munlcstion was had on these streets.
After some debate Mr.. Strohm's mo-
tion was adopted.
