take no action in the matter.
he was informed by President Lawton
that the reason for calling up the street
was TO find out whether there were any
remonstrants, and who they were
But we don't want it called up,' said
Mr.. Burr. ''If' il is called up and our re-
monstrance prevails. that will only put it
off for six months. and the board can
order it done at the end of that time.
That is what we don't want"
THAT is just what l hope the board
will do,' said Mayor Steinman. THAT
is just what should be done. Then you
can sell your basalt blocks to the con-
tractors"
The matter was then dropped.
A large number of bills were allowed.
The bill of II. G. Breckenridge for $500
damages claimed to have been sustained

Struction of Sixth street by the railroad
company that the company had no right

A LITTLE TIFF.
Kent offered resolution that the heads
of departments who violate the rule OF
the Board OF Trustees, in regard TO get

BILE 10 lose their positions.
Some of them, he said, are in the habit
of violating the rule of the board, and il
is time TO stop it. They get one order
from the Trustees and another from the
Mayor, and don't seem to know what to
do.
''Wen, gentlemen" said the Mayor,
''vou will get the city government into
nice fix. [ tell you right now, if man
refuses to obey an order from me l shall
suspend him Immediately. Ii he obeys
me you will discharge him. What is he
to do?"
Kent stated that his resolution had
nothing to do with the Mayor. 1t only
applied to the heads of departments.
''Oh, [ see," said the Mayor, you
won't discharge me; you'll let me stay"
Bragg thought that the original rule
was sufficient, and this resolution was
not necessary. He thought it covered the
ground sufficiently.
Kent said that the rule did not provide
any penalty for violation.
A motion to lay the resolution on the
table was lost and it was passed, Bragg,
