AND THE UNOPENED STREETS
Will Hapken to a Resolution
Passed by the Assembly
Last Night.
AND THE UNOPENED STREETS
EXTRkvAGANCE SHUT OFF
By the Passage Of Arosin's
ResoIution--Como Bridge
Contract Awarded.

SO quiet and expeditions a ses-
sion as the assembly held last even
ing is unprecedented in it's history.
The meeting was devoid of incident
and debate, and business was dis
patched without the usual delay.
Assemblymen Lewis and Van Slyke
were absent.
Assemblymen Parker and AroSin
introduced the only fresh matters.
Mr.. Parker's measure was reso-
luton instructing the city engineer
to report to the council all cases in
which private parties have en-
croached on streets of tee city with
buildings or have fenced in or are
occupying in any way the unopened
streets and alleys. The resolution
was adopted, and it will result in
stirring up several of the St An
thony hill residents, who have boldly
fenced in and built upon alleys and
unopened streets.
Assemblyman Arosin offered a
resolution designed to shut off ex-
travagance in the various city de-
partments.
1t requires all heads of departments
to submit to the city clerk all requests
for materials, supplies and job work
needed, and directs the city clerk to
post notice of the same, accompanied
by requests for bids for the work and
supplies. The resolution was adopted,
but after the meeting members eX-
pressed doubt as to it's feasibility, in
asmuch as occasions frequently arise
demanding the immediate furnishing
of certain supplies or the instant per-
Torrance of certain work.
Tim Reardon made
ONE FINAL OBJECTION
to the appointment of w. F. Symonds
as sewer inspector at salary of $100
a month, but nobody paid any atten-
ton to him, and Mr.. Symond's ap-
pointment was confirmed by a vote of
to l.
The report of the joint committee
on streets recommending that the con-
tract for building the substructure of
the Como aysEue bridge be awarded
to Charles Stone for $11,612, was
adopted, and the contract so awarded.
The board of aldermen resolution was
then adopted insiructing the city clerk
to advertise for bids for the con-
struction of the super-s.ructure of
the Como avenue bridge.
Aid. Murphy's resolution requiring
all city officials and employees to pay
all debts and obligations incurred by
them while in the employ of the city,
was not passed. Mr.. Robb moved to
lay it on the table, Mr.. Reardon
wanted it referred to the committee
on gas, but Mr.. Parker's motion to
refer it to the committee on ways and
means prevailed.
The joint committee on garbage re-
ported that in the matter Of the pro-
test of the wholesale fruit and vege-
table dealers and commission mer-
chants against being exempted from
the provisions of the garbage contract,
that nothing could be done now, as
the contract had already been ap-
proved and let.
The assembly concurred with the
board in passing the ordinance requir-
ing the White Bear electric line to
a. m. and midnight.
The ordinance from the board To-
eating the haymarket On East Fifth
street, between Broadway and Kittson
street, was passed.
A preliminary order for paving with
asphalt Oakland avenue, from Pleas
ant to Summit avenue, was sent OF the
board of public works, and, after pass
ing the monthly pay rolls, the assembly
adjourned.
