was referred to the committee on ways
and means.
The resolution directing an amount
placed in the tax levy Tor 1894 sufficient
to pay for The laying oil gaa nalHS and
the lighting Of streets in which mains
had been laid deiayedQle adjournment
for half an hour.
Mr.. johnson said the resolution
should pass for the reason that the Mork
of putting in mains on Rice and other
streets would give employment Tor 200
on more meu. Rice street could not be
paved Until after the mains had been
laid. and for this reason the work OF
paving tie street was being delay ell.

luton for the mains Oh Rice street, but

NO CHANGE IN LINES
The ordinance passed by the board of
aldermen, fixing the district in which
no saloons can be operated IN portion
OF the Sixth ward, Was indefinitely
postponed.
The proposed ordinance repealed the
one passed iii. June last, and was drawn
in such manner as to allow the pro-
hbited district TO be reduced by allow
ing saloons to be operated ON. the west
side of ohio street. i'hete were two
petitions sent ia from residents and
property owners in that section. One

against the passing OF any ordinance
! which would allow saloon on Ohio
| street, claiming the neighb0Iho0d was
i Il residence portion OF The city. The
other, purportng 10 be lHdGrsed by
lightweight residents, asked that the

The communication from the board
! of fire commissioners nVttying the
| council that on Nov. the Gre depart

! ing that some steps be taken to provide
! for the shortage, caused considerable
| discussion. -"--.- -----.-'
REAIDON TALKS BLUNTI.Y.
Mr. Reardon thought tie council had
! nothing TO do With the. shortage. The
| fault was with the fire board and it was
| boys play to ask the coaneii TO come to
| their rescue. There had been a great
| deal OF work he said, gwen TO certain
| firms from the fire board which was not
| allowed under the law. This was done
| III The same manner as one of the city
| officials had secured q contract the
| other day. lie was in favor Of sending
the COMMUNICATION back TO the fire board.
Mr.. D0ran said he failed to see what
| the council had TO do with d shortage i'll
| abe fire department fund, and lac ~dS III
| favor of the communication being sent
| back to the commissioners.
Mr.. Johnson thought there was no
| need Of acting in a iliPpait manner with
the communication, and wanted it sent
10 the WAYS and means committee.
On the motion 10 send ,thes coHmuni-
| caHOn back tile vote .stoodt4 to , against,
| MesSrs. Reardon. Dorah and l)af- bting
tie ones to vote for the motion. 1t was

| AIMED AT ''BIKES."
The bicycle ordinance published in
| yesterdays GLOBE was passed under a
| suspension of the rules,
L. IIardman. member of the Wheel
| mems league, spoke on behalf of the
| business men against the passage of the
| ordinance. He said because Il number
| Of boys acted like fools in riding. OH
| sidewalks was no reason why the large
| number of men who USED wheels to ride
| from. their homes to places of business
! should be put 10 hardship. TIE talk,
however, lad no perceptbie effect as
the ordinance passed without dissent
ing vote.
A ''SNAP? KIILEp. j.
The mayors resolution asking for au-
thority to appoint a person at SIS per
month to weigh coal and measure wood
| purchased by the city was sent to the
! committee on ways and means.
I Mr.. Reardon said the Office had been
| abolished by the last legislature. and the
! resolution sayored OF job. About the
| only thing it would do if the resolution
| passed would be the hiring of another
boss. Hundreds of men were willing to
| work for 81 per day, payable in fuel
I and provisions, but could not secure
work. Now 1t was the Intention. TO hire
another boss at $50 per month. The
| custodian at the city hall, he said, did
nothing, and the market. master was
| not worked to death. These TWO could
dc all the coal weighing necessary at
| their respective buildings, and the sec
! rotary of the school board could attend
to the fuel used by the school board.
/ Mr.. Doran said the chairman of the
! committee on WAYS and means from the
| assembly had been Instrumental in hav-
! ing the Office abolished. and for this
reason he requested it ue referred to the
! committee.
