President Board of Trustees.
j. FRANK BROWN, City Attorney.
Devine, of the special committee ap-
pointed TO wait on the Board Of Super
-, - Ibid on, ha
Y-street levee, reported tlIat that board
was willing to bear their share OF the ex-
pense if they could be informed OF the
cost He therefore moved that the City
Surveyor be ordered to prepare esti-
mates of cost of the bridges and report TO
the board. The motion was carried.
Bragg moved thatnthe bond presented
by the Capital Gas Company to indem-
Nifty the members of the board in case the
gas bills were paid, be approved by the
board. His motion received no second.
Tozer reported that the cost of printing
the ordinances would be twenty-five
cents per 100 sheets. He moved that 2, 900
of each ordinance be published in the
form of sheets.
Davis asked if it was intended that the
ordinances were not to be published in
the papers. he thought that not many
people would read them in that shape.
Kent advocated printing them in the
papers.
Devine said if the expense of printing
them in the papers did not too much eX-
ceed that of sheets, he should advocate
publishing them in the papers. otherwise
he would prefer the sheets.
The report was laid over for one week.
Tozer also reported in relation to help
for the Clerk of the Board Of EqualiZa-
ton, that young man who has been en-
ployed by the City Auditor could be Sc
cured for that purpose, as he was through
with the work on which he had been en-
gagged.
Lincoln White stated that the opinion
of the City Attorney was that the railroad
company had no right TO maintain OBJ
structions on Sixth street.
on motion of Davis, the matter was
laid over one week.
Jay h. Brown stated that there was
some opposition to allowing the railroad
company to lay track on the new leyee.
lie asked that the matter be laid over for
the present.
On motion Of Leonard the matter was
postponed for two weeks.
Leonard spoke on the subject of the
proposed riot drill on the Fourth of July,
There was strike on at present, and
many men were out of employment. He
feared that 1t would provoke i'll feeling at
this time, and he moved that committee
OF one be appointed TO confer with Gen.
eral Sheehan, and ask him to dispense
with the drill on that day. Many of the
militia are among the shop men, and he
did not think it would be well taken.
Devine spoke against resembling the
permission.
The Chairman said he thought that
the matter lay with the Fourth Of July
Committee.
George w. Ficks said that General
Sheehan had stated that if the board was
opposed to the drill the committee did not
wish TO insist on it. He did not, however,
think that there was any danger to be ap-
pretended from it, and he thought it
would add much to the enjoyment of the
occasion.
Frank w. Bennett said that he was a
member of committee which had been
sent by Knox of the Railway Union to
ask that the drill be dispensed with. A
large number of the militia are among
the members of that union and are OPP
posed TO turning out and taking part in
the drill, as they fear remarks viii be
made on that account They therefore
asked that the drill be omitted from the
programme.
District Attorney Ryan said that the
riot drill was proposed by General Shee-
han several weeks ago as one of the
features of the day. There had been riot
drills IN this city before this-several
years ago-and this had no reference to
the present state of affairs. Both sides
are peaceable and likely to be so.
Everyone knows that the National
Guard is organized to preserve law and
order, and no one doubts their loyalty.
They are obliged by law to turn out on
July 4th, whether there is riot drill or
not. The drill was simply intended TO be
q feature of the celebration-to make a
lot of noise. as all do on the Fourth of
July, with pistols and frecrackers.
He did not think that this committee
looked at il in the right way, as the drill
was only for the purposes OF celebration.
1t had been put III the programmes in
good faith and all the arrangements
made.
Leonard stated that remark made by
one of the Fourth of July Committee had
made considerable i'll feeling amongst the
working people. Under the present cir
cumstances some remark might be made
on that day that would be resented, and
might make trouble, and for that reason
be had always opposed the drill from the
first.
The motion was defeated.
AUDIToR's VETO.
a communication was received from
the Auditor, declining to draw warrant
for the bill OF L. Il. Rose for SI24 for taps.
Davis moved 10 return half of the taps,
so as TO come within the 500 limit, and
another order could be given Tor the re-
nainder.
Pennish wanted to know if the price of
the taps had been ascertained before the
order was given.
Davis said that he did not know when
the taps were ordered that they would
cost over 500.
The motion was carried.
Kent said the taps We're not all got at
once. but Mr.. Rose had put the different
orders into one bill.
Pennish interrupted him with the re-
mark that the question bad been disnnsad
