council yesterday at its regular session
was the adoption Of the report Of the
board OF public works and the handling
OF the finance committee's report. The
afternoon was occupied in canvassing
the city election returns.
The report OF the finance committee
was read. The report recommended the
payment OF the payroll Of the street su-
perintendent for November, and the
payment of the fire department, to-.
gether with that OF the water overseer
for work ending December 1st.
The com mittee also recommended the
payment OF the three demands OF l., 4.
Hewlett, the street sweeping contractor.
A deduction OF $25 was made on account
OF defective work on Sixth street.
This latter accommodation caused
some discussion. Several of the mem-
bers were averse to paying the demands
Of the street sweeping contractor at all.
His bondsmen had all withdrawn, and
the councilmen were a little uncertain as
to where they were at in the matter.
Mr.. Hewlett appeared in person and
attempted to bolster up his cause, but it
was uphill business.
A motion was at last made that the
bill for two woeks' work be allowed. but
it was lost through the adverse vote Of
President Teed, who voted mo" on the
stated ground that the streets had not
been swept according to contract.
The remaining bills and demands
we're approved.
R. Sherer was granted 80 days further
time to complete improvements on
Eighth street, between Pearl street and
Union avenue.

ferred to the board OF public works.
