BILL FOR SWEEPING.

ported the cost OF sweeping the bitumin-
| lied streets for seven nights was Sl10 so.
| Kent moved that the superintendent be
instructed to report the amount due Con-
| tractor Wall for sweeping in September,
! for which his bill was SI95.
| Tozer moved as substitute that the
! bill of Wall be referred to the Street Com
nittee. which was done.
The contract with County Clerk Hamil-
ton for registering voters was accepted.
BID ACCEPTED.
Bids for filling in on Twelfth street,
between K aud :, were received from a.
j. German and Thomas Burns. The bid
OF the latter, for So. was accepted.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Mrs. Z. B. Purnell complained of the
east half OF lot 2, NJ and y. Twenty
fourth and Twenty-filth streets, which
has no sidewalk, and on which the water
stands in winter.
NJ. a. DiXon'5 appointment as special
policeman Tor The southern Pacific Com
pany's shops was confirmed unani-
mOusly.
Tozer said that question OF tie eligi-
bility OF j. Nj. Sullivan to act rs inspector
in the second precinct of the First Ward
had arisen. lie was informed that Sulli-
van has been resident of San Francisco
for two years. He suggested the name of
| l. Boysen for the position and he was
chosen.
A LIVELY ARGUMENT.
Pennish asked If it was known that the
/ Democrats in his ward who had been
| placed on the list of election officers were
taxpayers. He did not oven know
whether or not they were residents of the
ward.
Kent moved 10 appoint Pennish a COM
/ miltee or one 10 examine the tax roll.
a. am asking tor information" said
Pennish. " l would not lend myself to
such work as you did. l prepared list
! of good men and it should have been
adopted"
- Was that the list you said had been
| stolen?" asked Kent.
" Is; that is the list l accused you of
stealing. rom the way you spoke and
acted ABOUT it," said Pennlsh.
Personal remarks commenced to pass
between him and Kent, which were
! nipped III The bud by Leonard, who said
ne would not allow them. Pennish then
( asked by what authority a policeman
.
the board last Saturday, but Leonard
said he did not give any such order, and
could give him no Information about it.
POOR SIDEWALKS.
4 long list of sidewalks to be con-
demned was read. and Lawton said he
should oppose The resolution, as he knew
many OF the walks Oh the list are in good
condition. There were others over which
only one or two persons pass III day.
There are many walks in the lower por-
tion OF the city that were condemned
more than year ago and torn up but
never constructed.
| ToZer spoke in the same strain, and
Davis said that walk next to his house
was condemned more than a year ago
and was torn up several years ago and
! filled in with dirt. He believed that
those walks should be constructed before
| others were condemned.
LaWton moved that the matter be laid
over for three weeks. in order that the
Chairman OF the street Committee might
/ have chance to recover from his cam
palgn and look after the matter.
Pennish said he did not believe in de-
ferring matters of this sort in order TO
suit politicians. He thought tie Presi-
dent should look after the matter.
Lawton said that. in reference to the
insinuation Of Mr. Pennish, he would say
that his action on the board had never
been influenced by considerations of the
future. Almost all the street and side
walk improvement in the city has been
/ done by this board, and he claimed his
share oft.
Sidewalks have been condemned and
! favoTilism shown, and they were not put
/ down. If this list were condemned.
! some OF the owners would receive per-
( empIory orders TO put them down. while
( others would be allowed 10 wait.
/ The list was laid over for three weeks.
STREET IMPROVEMENT.
! Tozer said that resol utions of intention
! to improve lower and X streets were
introduced some time ago and seemed to
: have been dropped. lie thought they
should be resurrected.
/ Kent wanted all the cross streets be-
/ tween J and Is, from Filth to Tenth,
taken up, but Leonard said that the
streets named by Kent were deferred
until the Folsom macadam be obtain
! able.
/ The resolutions for paving ] and X
+ streets from Front TO Second, with basalt
! blocks on a concrete foundation were
! passed.
\ resolution condelnning the sidewalk

ty-fitth and TWenty-sixth streets, was
