pared an ordinance changing the width of
j street, between Thirteenth and Four
teenth, and also on Thirteenth street. lie
had also included a change made on Third

subject OF the liability of the railroad
company to keep the new levee on the
north side of the city in repair. lie
thought the liability of the railroad COM
pauy under the contract ceased when the
levee was accepted by tho city.
There WAS another question of liability
under an old law, into which he had not
| examined.
Devine said the company had requested
! the privilege of laying Z track on the
! ievee, and All ordinance had been pre-
pared fer that purpose, but large por-
ton OF double track had been laid in ad
vance. He wished Mr.. Devlin would
! look into the matter.
LcOHard said he had examined into the
matter some time ago, wishing TO find
| out whether the company would keep the
| levee in repair or not. He also wanted 10
| find out about tho " ater front. He would
never vote to grant the water front to
anyone or for allowing a track on the
| levee unless the company would keep the
levee i'll repair. Devine spoke to the
same effect and the matter was dropped.
the bill of Felix Dunn for S}35 for ex
! porting the City Cemetery books caused
considerable discussion, and Pennish
| said that the board had already paid Il
! claim for exporting and he thought that
the matter had better be Investigated be-
fore passing the bill.
Kent agreed with him and sal there
seemed to be no end to bills Tor expert
ing plans, and he thought there should
be a stop put To it so that there should be
no more afterclaps.
The bill was laid over for a week.
The bills Of Falconer, Waggoner and
Seadler for examining the sewerage plans
were brought up. DeVine thought the
two first were too high and ought to he
cut down to $50 each.

trouble had been taken on the reports.
Bragg coincided with I.awton saving
the Sew erage Committee was instructed
20 get three competent disinterested per-
sons 10 examine the plans, and had done
so. They had taken much time and
trou Die in doing so and should be paid

Devine still opposed them, but they
were ordered paid.

and Trustee Pennish came up for passage
and Davis, Leonard aud Devine spoke IN
opposition 10 their payment, saying
that the charter gave the Mayor no au
thority to make purchases. The bill:

the Mayor be rejected, and the motion
was carried.
Bragg moved that the matter OF fixing
the roof of the Art Gallery be referred tc
the Mayor, and he be requested to have il
repaired al a cost of not more than $3.50.

what IS necessary in their Judgment, no
to exceed $1,000. The amendment wa
