A LIVELY TIME.
The question of the rates over the
Terminal road came up and for time
things were decidedly lively around the
council chambers.
Mr.. T. K. Gibbon, attorney for the
railroad company, was present and ad-
dressed the board at length in relation
to the proposed enforcement of the fran
for the round trip instead of So cents as
ts now charged. He asked that q farther
extension of time be granted ON the
grounds that the company was not pay
Ing expenses, and further that they were
making Communication rate of S. monthly
which WAS lower than an eastern gu burb-
an road where large crowds are carried.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gibbons talk
Mr., Weed made Q motion that all action
Se postponed in the case until Septem.
Der 1st. A tie vote reSulted, standing
yeas Hamilton and Weed, noes WASH
burn and Cox. A discussion OF the
rights OF the road to further considera-
ton followed in which Messrs. Wash
burn and Cox came out and stated that
they thought the company had already
been given too many concessions, and
that it Was about time to give the pub
Vic show.
Mr.. Hamilton next made motion to
lay the matter over one week. This Was
also voted down by the aame ballot 81
before.
Mr.. Washburn then moved that the
case be referred to the city attorney. to

MORE PAVING.
The following resolution was passed /:
That J. A. Fairchild be granted per-
mission to pave Raymond avenue be-
tween the south line of Colorado street
and the south line OF Vineyard street
with asphaltum pavement, under the
supervision and to the satisfaction of
the street superintendent according to
the specifications for such work, at the
expense of property owners, including
intersection work and all incidental ex-
penses, including charges of inspector.
Upon motion of Mr.. Weed q resolu-
ton was passed to the effect that unless
the property owners on Fair Oaks be-
tween Colorado and Vineyard streets,
enter into contracts for paving the street
with asphaltum, on or before 2 m. of
August 18th. the council will proceed to
cause the same to be done.
This action was taken by the council
for the reason that few property own
ere, by holding off. are blocking the
work on South Fair Oaks, and it ia i'm
portant that the paving be put down at
once If 1t is to be done at all this year.
