w r. Geddes appeared for the pro-
perty owners and asked that it be not
lightly laid aside. The property
would pay for the improvement.
Mr.. Swan stated that the city would
be obliged to pay for the culvert,
about 5000.
The city engineer stated that Clark
street is the only possible access to
Prospect Heights, and that to cut
the street through would spoil the
Heights.
The matter was referred to the
Board of Public Works.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
Aid. Higgs stated that a note for
5000 fell due April 9Th, and is still
unpai1, that 49, 800 becomes due May
10th, and that 81, 900 of interest cou
pons became due May 1st. The fl
nance committee was authorized to
make provision for these items and
for the bills to be allowed.
The city recorder stated that the
bills foot up 1880, that the water
rents to come in will equal the sal
aries, and that there is 81 900 on hand
to meet the coupons. The bills in
clude 5000 for the North Front street
work. On May 10th, a $500 liquor IL
cense will be paid in.
The report of the Chief of Police
for April showed five arrests and fif.
teen dodgers.
FIFTH STREET SEWER.
The Fifth street sewer matter was
taken up, The city engineer said
that only a small part of the property
appears on the petition, the sewer is
almost necessity, yet the condition
OF the treasury is such that it may
not be we'll to 60 ahead with the en-
terprise.
Mr. Swan stated that on account of
the schools there is necessity for the
sewer. The Normal school wants to
remodel its system and put in sewers.
The Catholic college needs sewers
very badly. If these two schools can
be provided with direct connections
with Broad street that would be sat-
isfactory for the present. 1t would
do away with the Washington street
sewer, which is to be paid for by the
city. If pipes were run directly to
Broad street there would be some
cost upon the city.
Mr.. Haynes thought that it would
be poor plan to put in sewers from
Fifth to Broad, even if it were posi-
BILE, which he did not think it was.
He would wait until the city could
put in the sewer according to the
general plan and then do it right.
The matter was laid over for two
weeks.
The treasurer's report for April
showed the following totals:

THE CYCLE ORDINANCE.
The bicycle ordinance was present
ed and referred to the ordinance COM
mittee for immediate report. The
committee reported favorably and
the ordinance was given it's first read
ing, as already published in these col
umnS.
Mayor Weaver asked that the limit
on sidewalk riding be extended to
Marshall street, past his house.
The rules were suspended and the
ordinance was given it's second read
ing.
Aid. Higgs suggested that bicycles
pass to the right, as the common law
provides, when meeting pedestrian.
Aid. Fowler moved that the limit
be extended to Marshall street in
stead of Byron, to comply with the
mayors suggestion. This received no
second and was withdrawn, and the
section was adopted.
