The board of aldermen took an import
ant step towards the settlement or the
tide land controversy Oy passing an ord
nance vacaung those portions OF ali
streets on tide lands which conflict with
the appraisers plat, excepting those
named n the report Of the joint commit
tee.
Mr.. elise stated that by the passage of
this ordinance it would permit the build
ing Of large wharves suitable FOR the land
ing Of the big ocean steamers, and that
he had assurances that Eastern capital
was willing and anxious TO begin such Ell
teTprises. He was informed that recently
such a scheme had been dropped because
of the streets not having been vacated as
provided for IN this ordinance.
An ordinance was passed authorizing
the construction OF a relief sewer twelve
inches in diameter on portions Of Sixth
and James streets and Yesler avenue con-
Meeting with the main sewer at Pioneer
place, and transferring $500 from other
sewer appropriations for the purpose.
Mr.. Anderson objected on the ground
that the Bush street sewer would be Mt
without an outlet, but City EngIneeS
Thomson explained that there was left a
sufficient amount 10 build a wooden box.
and that the $500 originally appropriated
for a brick outlet had been duly trans
ferred to the Front street and other sew
erS.
Just before adjournment Mr.. Anderson
introduced an ordinance, which was
passed. allowing Policeman j. w Glass
cock $50 TO pay for half a month of time
when he was suffering from the gunshot
wound inflicted by Harry +. Good. Jor-
dan moved to amend by adding $50 for
;hvs,c;an's fees Miller objected on the
ground that poor professional services
