Assemblyman Robb offered in the
assembly the other night, instruct
ing the board of public works nc ;
to have the space between the car
tracks en- East Seventh street paved
until further notice, was indefinitely
postponed by unanimous vote. The
motion to indefinitely postpone was
made by Aid. Ehrmanntraut. He
said he thought the agreement
reached, whereby the street was to
be paved with asphalt from curb to
curb should not be interfered with.
The property owners wanted asphalt
and their wishes should prevail.
Aid. Brady wanted the resolution
referred to the committee on streets. A
He thought the question should re-
ceive further consideration.
Aid. Markham then made a strong
speech in favor of Aid. Ehrmann-
trauts resolution. He said he was
prepared to fight the question until
midnight. After some further con-
versation between Markham and
Brady, the latter withdrew his mo-
tion to refer, and the motion to in
definitely postpone prevailed with

st. Paul urging that the practice Of
dumping night soil inside the limits
of that town be discontinued in the
interest of the public health, was re-

the health commissioner
Corporation Attorney Darragh
made a complete report regarding
the status of the Azotine Manufact-
uTilng company's suit against the
city. He reviewed the
HISTORY OF THE AGREEMENT
entered into between the city and
Henry A. Fleischman for the erec-
aion of plant for the destruction of
garbage, the city to pay $1,000 a year
for the service. The contract was
assigned to another who in turn
assigned it to the Azotine company
The plant was destroyed by fire, and
the council refused permission to
rebuild on the ground that it was a
nuisance, the original contract pro-
viding for removal in case it should
be declared a nuisance. The Azotine
company, however, claims to flaye
continued Ito carry out its part of the
contract by dispising of the garb-
age by other means, and w. H
Yardley, receiver for the company,
began suit to recover some $4,000
claimed to be due for garbage de-
stroyed previous to the passage of
the resolution by the council, in
strucIting the city clerk to notify the
company that the city would not
pay for any more garbage destroyed.
The case was tried before Judge
Willis, who gave Judgment in favor
Of the plaintiff.
The reason the aldermen wanted
the informa ton was for the purpose
of considering the advisability of
taking an appeal to the supreme
court. Mr.. Darragh made no rec
concentration whatever in his re-
port. 1t was referred to the special
committee appointed at the previous
meeting ITO consider the question.

erty owners
