AWNINGS AND SIDEWALKS.
CityTrustees Consider New Ordinances
on the Subject.
No Money to Spare for Maps and
Drawings of the Proposed Sew
erage System.

Shortly after the Board of City Trus-
tees convened yesterday morning, j. G.
Pierson, for the Sewerage Commission.
presented a communication stating that
the commission expected to present maps,
plans and Specifications for system. but
as it would take more time than the mem
bers could spare from their business, it
was asked that the board allow 81 200 to
pay a draughtsman and engineer to pre-
pare the maps.
1t was thought that the money could
not be spared and that the new Board of
Trustees could take up the matter.
proposed ordinance for ordering
awnings taken down in the district be-
tween Front and Fifteenth, 1 and L
streets. was read the first time.
Fred Adams objected to Front street
being included, it being a business street
with only one side, and the awnings be-
ing necessary to protect goods from sun
ana rain While being handled.
sharp little tilt took place between
the Mayor and Mr.. Adams, the former
saying that many Of the awnings We're
ready to tumble down. and that Mr..
Adams, while willing his neighbours
want his own interfered with.
An ordinance amending the sidewalk
ordinance was read the first time. 1t
provides that no sidewalk shall hereafter
be constructed, altered or removed with
any other material than concrete or arti
fetal stone or other similar material, the
work and material TO be approved by the
Street Commissioner.
On motion of Street Commissioner

with gravel, was suspended, majority
of the property owners preferring mac
adam.
Bids for the improvement of the alley
between z and +, Sixth and Seventh
streets and the construction Of a sewer in
ii, were opened O.. A. Dainton, James
ders, and the contract was awarded to the
latter.

ordered opened.
An order was presented by the Mayor,
directing the Electric Light Company to
trim up such trees as interfered with their
wires and put out the lights. and was
carried.
a communication calling attention to
the condition Of the sidewalk in front OF
the Sawtelle residence was read.
The Mayor stated that the roof of the
Art Gallery had been fixed. but it still
leaked in some places, and should be
looked after. The heating apparatus was
also burned out and defective, and
should be renewed. He had directed a
man TO examine on it and report to

in a few days.
