WIDENING BROADWAY.

Tho Protest Denied and Com miss Isl o NJ
era Report Confirmed.
The hearing Of the protest against the con-
Armation of the report of the commissioners
on the widening and extending of Broadway
between Ninth and Tenth streets, was made q
special order of the afternoon session.
Attorney ]. L. Murphy appeared for the pro-
testants. He stated that the council must not
understand his clients as attempting 10 stand
in the way of any public improvement. "Our
contention is that the report of the commits
soners is unjust and that the work of the COM
mission is unlawful" said Mr.. Murphy.
Many witnesses, mostly property owners on
Broadway. were called and testified. The bur.
ilen of their song was that the assessment was
unjust. One of the great objections to the
Commissioners report was that the street rail-
way company owning tracks on Broadway
which are not used, is assessed only 500.
Another objection was that the assessments
diminish the further away from the place
where the street is to be widened. The con-
tention was that the business property on
broadway as far down as First or Temple
streets even should have been assessed
more, as it is the most benefited.
Attorney Louis Gottschalk also argued the
case OF the protestants and several attorneys
and others argued against the protest At tn
conclusion OF the argument Mr.. kingery
moved that tn protest be denied and the re-
port confirmed, and this motion was carried

STREET SWEEPING.
More Trouble With the Contractor who
Bid Low.


The residents on Figueroa and Pearl streets,
where it is paved, presented verbal petition
that the contractor having the street sweeping
be required to do the work properly. The Pc
tition stated that the work is done so imper-
fectly and improperly now that the property
OF the residents is damaged and their heal Ii
impaired; that dust rises in clouds when the
streets are swept and settles on everything
around, even entering the houses and injur-
ing the furniture.
This brought up the matter of street swee D.
ing and Mr. Munson said that there was no
doubt it is being done very badly now He
said it made no difference because the Goa
tractor only gets 1923 per mile for sweeping
when the lowest it was ever done before
was $40
"The street sweeping is not properly done
and l believe that this council ought not to
approve the bills" said Mr.. Munson.
1t was moved and carried that the contractor
be notified that unless the streets are properly
swept the bills will not be allowed
The streets. are now being swept by tho
bondsmen of J E. Hewlett who tried to throw
up the contract some weeks ago.
