The nine members of the assembly,
instead of devoting their time to oratory
last evening, settled down to business,
and the result was that in an hauriaud
a half after being called to order large
grist of business had been dispased of
and an adjournment reached.
The mayor vetoed the resolution of.
Mr.. Reardon directing the street rail,
way company to operate the interurban
and West Seventh street lines on Fifth
street as far east as Wacouta. and gave
as his reason that the passage of the
loop" ordinance relieved the company
from running the interurban line to
Wacouta street. As to the West Seventh
street line, the mayor holds that as bv
the recent ordinance the Seventh street
line is to be operated from one end of
the street to the other by Sept. /, there
would be no need to change the route of
this line for so short a period.
The vote by which the resolution
passed was reconsidered, and Mr..

1t was only courtesy to the mayor to
refer the matter to a committee, and he
asked this course to be taken.

them to operate the two lines to

Mr.. Lightner SAID the change

As to The veto of the resolution order
ing the refunding of judgment costs
and penalties in the Sixth street bridge
assessment, the mayor says the council
seemed to be of the opinion that there
had been collected from the assessment
for the Superstructure all amount in eX-
cess of the actual cost thereof. If this
were true, the mayor explains, there
would be no question as to the reSolu-

OC e
and careful consideration of the mat

exists. L he corporation attorney, he
further says. has advised him that the
council has no right to refund the
