The board of aldermen were first
called to order and the resolution direct
ing the owners, managers or lessee OF
the Randolph street line to remove
poles, wires and tracks from the street
within thirty days was unanimously
adopted.
The committee on license. through
the chairman. Aid. Zimmerman, recon-
mended that the resolution introduced
at the last meeting by Aid. Copeland,
directing the passage OF an ordinance
closing the theaterS on Sunday, be not
passed on the ground that the state law
already provided for such action. Aid.
Warren wanted to KNOW who would en-
force the state Law, but no one seemed
to care enough about the matter to say
anything. The report OF the committee
was adopted, Aid. Warren being the
only one to vote against 1t.
The committee also recommended the
license for theaters be fixed at $50 for
the Grand and Metropolitan and So for
the Peoples theater. Aid. Warren
moved to amend by making the license
Sl0O for the Grand and Metropolitan,
and $50 for the Peoples. which was car
ried.
The request from the fire board to
sell six horses and purchase the same
number was sent TO the committee on
fire department.
The building inspector resolution al
lowing that official S7.4U0 per year for
salaries was passed.
An ordinance allowing the New York
Life Building company to erect shed
adjoining their building Oh Sixth street
was referred to the committee on
streets. Aid. Zimmerman said the
structure had already been built. and
he saw no use in referring the matter.
Aid. Mark ham wanted to know how it
was that such things were allowed by
the proper city officers, and i'll order to
investigate the thing he insisted ON a
reference.
The aldermen then took recess for
half an hour i'll order to allow the assem-
bly, to hold a session. On reaSSembling
Aid. Warren made short argument rel
alive to the charges maize by Assembly
man johnson about the renting of the
building for the polling booth in the
Eighth district of the Eighth ward. Aid.
Warren said that the building Sc
lected by Mr.. johnson was not a suit
able one, and for this reason he had Sc.
lected one short distance away. Mr.
Johnson, however, had circulated among
the faithful during the intermission and
the board turned Aid. Warren down by
vote of to 4, and the polling place il
the district will be where ASSemblymar
johnson selected.
The resolution directing Assembly
man ReardOu and Aid. QuehI to pro
coed with the construction of the poll
ing booths, some fifty in number, was
passed by the assembly, but was over.

sufficient number of the aldermen were
seen, however, to sati sly the preside n
that the matter would pass at the next
meeting, and the work will be proceed
ed with. Mr.. Reardon claims he will
save about Sl,50e by having the BOOTH
erected outside of the engineers office
