CONTRACT FOR WATER
SETTLED AND ADOPTED BY THE
COUNCIL.
CITY HAS GAINED AT EXPENSE OF
PRIVATE CONSUMERS.
Crosstown Railway Franchise For
feited-Union Slaughter House
New East End Street Rail
way-other Business.

Yesterdays session of the city
council was more remarkable than
several of it's predecessors, from the
fact that there was a great deal
more lively debate and also con-
siderable good humOr through it
all, although there were some &C
rimonious passages withal.
The report of the special COM
mittee on Union slaughter house,
the water contract and the forfeit
ing of the Crosstown railway fran
chise were the most important
matters acted upon.
The following petitions were first
presented:
Petition of j. T. Hutchinson
complaining of character Of build.
ing, being erected adjoining his pro-
perty; referred.
Tony Saladino, for remission Of
fine; granted.
Mrs. Henrietta Dullnig, to be
permitted to pay half her taxes
now and half later as able; referr
ed.
F. c. Mesch, to remove butcher
market; granted.
Jesus Trejo, to remit fine; re
ferred.
Citizens, asking immediate re
moval of Crosstown track from
Dallas street; passed.
Andrew Hogan, a blind man
asking remission of taxes; re
ferred.
Rosa Steel, asking remission o
taxes; referred.
Herman Seng, to continue mea
market of NJ. J. Smith granted.
S. l.. Ethridge, to set barber pol
on curb on Avenue ID; referred.
City carpenters report for May
filed.
Manuela Delgado, for remission
of taxes; referred. Ws&
r. J. Stark, remission OF fine; re

ferred.

with hot water, now runs in San
Pedro creek. The trans or tracks
overhead should be IL inches high
err for a union slaughter house.
The cold storage department
seems to be good, so far as we
could see, in every particular and
there is no doubt in our minds
that meat is better when properly
| refrigerated than not.
The delivery facilities could be
| much better.
The machinery, engines, ice de-
partment, ETC., are in our opinion,
first class.
The water used in the boilers for
making ice and wiping OF meat is
from the Water company and
same used by the entire city.
The dry house, where the OF fal is
supposed to be treated by heat,
ought to be in operation now.
So far as the location is con-
cerned, we see no objection, pro-
vided it could be kept thoroughly
clean, which ought to be done I'M
der any circumstances. The gen.
eral construction of the building,
in our opinion, is not adapted to
the wants and needs Of a union
slaughter house for all the butch
ers, and unless proper alterations
be made they could not do the
work for which it would be leased
by the city. We further find that
the butchers are perfectly willing
to go into a union slaughter house,
IL the same can be so built to &C
commodate at least a majority of
them and strictly under the control
of the city.
Newton moved that the report
} lay over and be printed; adopted.

Up in Addison county they are
having a state senatorial fight. 1t is
charged that in Monkton one party
sold out to the other for $35, and
that the town committee of Ferris
burg called a snap caucus at 6 in the
afternoon, when the farmers would
be doing their chores. OF course
everything was cut and dried, and
promptly at 6 the meeting was called
to order and delegates of the right
stripe elected. When the farmers
got there, little later, they found
that the business had all been kindly
done for them, and that they would
have nothing more to do until voting
comes on. 10 the mean time they
will be reminded that all good Re.
publicans will vote the straight ticket
support the nominee whether foo
