medistely, 1 ask that an order be made

B. u. STBINMAN, Mayor.

18th day of September, 1885, / approved

ing therewlth any discharge pipe for any

your board not being i'll session. Re-
spectfully submitted.
B. u. STEINA1AN, Mayor.
Devine moved that the Mayor be au-
thorized to have the necessary repairs
a. . ~ 4 Il
Davis moved to authorize the Building
Committee to have the work done, and
the amendment prevailed.
COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Leonard, for the Fire Committee, said
the south wall of the Corporation House
was filled with small pieces of brick, and
the water soaked through in the winter
time, making ii unfit TO sit in. He moved
that il be cemented, and it was so or
dered.
Bragg moved that the clerk call for
bids for fixing the roof of the Art Gal
lery, guaranteeing TO make 1t tight foI
the winter. So ordered.
a motion by Leonard TO put an asbestos
coating on the boiler at the Y-street
pump provoked quite a discussion, and
Kent said that while they were on the
subject of pumps he wished to call atten-
ton to a centrifugal pump which throws
1900 gallons an hour. 1t would cost
about 81, ,000 to put it there, and for 81, 600
more an electric motor to run it could be
placed beside it. 1t would save the city
about $1,000 year to put up such plant
and relieve the residents of that part of
the city from the necessity of building
bridges in the winter.
The question OF jacketing the boiler
was referred TO the Sewerage Committee.
STREET MATERIAL.
Devine said he had consulted with the
Bureau of High ways and ascertained that
it has advertised for bids on rock
crusher and would be ready to work by
November lst. He moved that all work
in macadalniZing streets be postponed
until the State could furnish cheap mac
adam.
Lawt0n said that he also had talked
with mem bers of the bureau, and that
they advised that no work be undertak en-
before spring. as IL would be Decem ber
before they would be able to supply the
macadam.
The motion was lost, but the board in
dicated that it did not intend TO 60 on
with any street work.
Deyine reported that ex-County Sur
veyor Winn had informed him that he
had begun TO investigate the matter of
the levees on Z street, and would report
further on them during the week.
a SEWAGE PUMP.
Mr.. Campbell, who lives near Seventh
and streets, appeared before the board
with a petition from many citizens for
the putting in of drainage pipe at Sew
enth and ) streets, TO run to Front, and
q pump OF 900 gallons minute capac-
ity. he argued the present position of
the pump was not right, as it was too far
from the river. Ii The board would put
in 30-inch steel pipe. it could easily be
pumped over the levee into the river
II the rain water could be taken care
Of he said, there would be no trou uble
with the sewerage. If the pump and
motor can be placed as asked, when the
rain comes on the water can easily be
taken care OF. and will not flood the lots
and stree of that part of the city or the
sewage mix with it to the detriment of
health. If the board should put the
pump and motor in as asked, the motor
could be taken down to the present pump
and run it much cheaper than the present
engine and boiler do IL.
Lawton said he thought some relief
should be given to the citizens. The
only question ls whether there is money
to do 1t with.
Kent thought the repair of the present
pipe, with new pump, would do for the
present
The matter was referred to the Sewer
age Committee.
POOL ROOMS.
d. j. Simmons addressed the board in
opposition TO the pool rooms. He hoped
the hoard would take some action against
tbem.
On motion of Kent, a committee Of
three was appointed to investigate the
matter and report to the board. The
Chairman appointed Kent, Tozer and
Pennish as such committee.

Kent in the chair
Wachhorst said the County Clerk wished
the board To take some action in regard
TO preparing supplement to the Great
Register. lie moved that the Clerk be
authorized TO prepare the supplement-
Deputy County Clerk Wachhorst ex-
plalned the necessity Of the boards i'm
mediate action. The registration must be
completed IN tIme,in order that those reg
istered may vote. So many move from
one part OF the city to another that a sup
PIGMENT 10 necessary Ii they are to be
permitted TO vote.
Lswton did not think there was need of
Reorganization by those already on the
register, but thought the register should
be finished up. He moved that the mat
ter be referred to the Corporation Counsel
for his opinion.
