The committee On streets from the
board of alderman held a short session
yesterday afternoon. The ordinance
relating to the impounding of horses
and cattle prepared by the city attorney
was, after discussion, referred to Aid.
Montgomery. Assistant City Attorney
Phillips informed the committee that
the new ordinance was simply a COM
pilation of all the ordinances relating to
the matter passed since 1884. Aid.
Warren wanted a pound established in
his ward, claiming that all the
cows for miles around were driven to
that section of the city and herded
during the day. The small
boys who acted as herders went to sleep
under the trees and as result the COWS
destroyed the lawns and yards in the
vicinity. He wanted with other resi-
dents i'll the ward some protection. Aid.
Montgomery said his objection to the
ordinance was that it would prevent a
hundred or so cows from being herded
in the ward i'll which he resided The
assistant city attorney said the objec-
ton to the establishment of pound in
the Eighth ward was that it would take
all extra policeman to take charge of it,
and the force was inadequate now. The
ordinance was finally given to Aid.
Montgomery to look over and make such
cha ges as he desired.
Robert Bryant and several property
owners living on Lake Como and Phalen
avenue appeared to protest against the
proposed widening from &c to 100 feet.
He and others did not object to the ave-
hue being widened, but they were unani-
mously opposed to the boulevard sys-
tenn. Assistant City Attorney Phillips
Informed Mr.. Bryant that the improve.
ment was demanded by the city at large
and when completed would be of great
benefit. Mr.. Bryant said if such was
the case the city at large should pay for
the Improvement. and not the owners OF
property along the street. AS soon as
the street was widened there would be
an assessment for grading, and on top
of this would come the assessment for
Phalen park. The result would be that
the owners of property would be COM
PEELED to give away their land.
Aid. CoEley, after hearing the talk,
moved that the committee report res
olution directing the boaId of public
works to annnl all proceedings for the
present. The motion was adopted.
The resolution introduced at the last
meeting of the aldermen directing the

Victoria street to the bridge, University
avenue from Lexington to Union Park

Front street, was handed over to Aid.
Copeland and Warren. The board of;
public works asked the gas company to
lay mains on Rice street before the con-
tract for paving that street from Como
avenue to Front street was let. The COM
pany answered back that they would
lay the main, provided the city would
include in the next tax levy an amount,
sufficient TO allow them to light the
/. streets above mentioned with gas dur
ing 1894. Aid. Copeland said lie wanted

and Bradley, included in the streets to
be lighted with gas in 1894. Aid. Jensen
had few streets he wanted included

taken out, for the Sixth ward. The
matter was turned over to Aid. Cope
