Two Iuel box es, ordered by Leonard, and
p lof granting them, for the City Hall,
levine decidedly objected. He thought
II an exorbitant price for couple of coal
boxes, and that granting was rather high
toned Tor box of that kind.
Leonard explained that the boxes were
MADE tight, with tongue and grooyed
iuinper, to keep the dust in, and wero
grained because they were set in the hall.
Inc Dill of Horne for cleaning boilers
was laid aside, and that Of the Capital Gas
Company was laid over for week, till
the report on lights Of the Chief of Police
was received.
a bill of 50 for repairs on a wheel
| barrow at the Water Works was pre-
sented. and Devine stated that as wheel
barrows could be bought for 81 so it
would be we'll to instruct the Engineer
10 BUY new ones instead OF repairing
! the old ones.
Water Works were expensive, costing IS
or ~ and could not be bought much less.
The bill was allowed.
HACKS FOR DRINKS.
DeVine objected to paying for hauling
DRINKS Ia hacks; dead-aXle wagons were
plenty good enough for hauling men who
forgot their manhood so far. There were
plenty of men who would go on "toot"
Tor the sake Of having ride in a hack,
head for them.
Kent said one of the bills was for haul
ing destitute family out 10 the County
hospital and was very moderate one.
Some people seemed to think that hack
man had no right TO make living. The
ordinance regulates the amount of hack
fares.
Ihe bills were allowed.
AN ORDER IGNORED.

read, and Kent called for the reading OF
the resolution passed at the last meeting
stopping street work, and said that the
resolution had been ignored by the Street
Commissioner. The men employed reg
uIarly are set OF mossbacks, he said,
and II was about time that others were
given chance. as there were plenty OF
other good men.

superintendent of Streets TO change his
men employed on street work every
month, and it was carried, Tozer and
Pennlsh voting no.

dents south of Il street, asking that the
sewer system south OF that street be de-
| clared nuisance and steps taken to
ahate it.
Devine said he had endeavored to walk
IN that vicinity after nighttall, but was
unable to do SO on account of the stencil
between Sixth and Fifteenth.
gentleman named Hastings spoke to
The same effect. People there cannot eat
IN lhe evening without closing their
doors. The Board of Health has also al
lowed Is. Muir to dump his offal almost
IN the public street. The sewer should
be covered and the dumping of otfal
stopped.

TO the Sewerage Committee, to be re-
ported on next week

Kent moved that the Superintendeut of

SIXTH STREET AGAIN
Pennish said that suit had been COM
menced by the city against the railroad
company for the removal Of the scales on
Sixth street. The scales have been re-
moved, and he moved that as the com
pany has done what was asked of it, the
suits be dismissed.
IaOpard said TINT tho
scales was not all that the property
owners asked. They wanted the use of
one side OF the street, the tracks planked
and some other things.
PennlSh said that as near as he could
find out, the property-owners simply
wanted 10 get big price out of the COM
pany for their property.
Devlne said he had been looking into
the matter. de thought the company
was disposed to do fairly and he agreed
with Pennish's motion. lie thought that
if the property-owners would improve
their sidewalks. the company would
plank their tracks. business men had
told him that the tracks were very useful
and convenient to them. lie did not
| think that sacramento could afford to
antagonlze the company without just
! cause.
Davis said he had voted against the suit
| in the first place and had never believed
in it. If the property-owners want to
| sue the company let them do it. but the
/ board should not be made a cat's-paw of.
| We are very ANXIOUS TO get factories here
and build up the town. There is Il very
| important one on Sixth street 1.-THE cam
nery]. which should be fostered instead of
taking away It's convenieuces. The rail-
| road is factor to the prosperity of Sacra-
mento. Why should the city antaeouiZe
! il needlessly?
The matter was referred to the Street
Committee, to be reported on tonight.
