The discussion terminated here on
the motion of Mr.. Lewis that the mat
ter be made the special order of busi-
ness at a meeting of the assembly to
be held next Thursday night. The
motion prevailed and the garbage
breeze gave way to an innocuous calm.
Another matter considered was the
report of the committee on ways and
means submitting to the assembly
without recommendation or diyapprovai
the resolutions of the qark board
looking to the improvement and
boulevarding of Como avenue and Park
avenue. The substance of these re-
solutions is published in another coll
umn.
In behalf of the proposed improve
ment, President Wheelock of the park
board spoke briefly. Mr. Wheelock
said that while Como Park was the
most beautiful in the country it's
approaches were the shabbiest. By
way of comparison Mr. Wheelock re-
ferred to the attractive boulevards in
Minneapolis leading to lake Harriet,
which is not even skirted by park.
The shabby approaches to Como Park
left disagreeable impression upon all
strangers visiting ST. Paul. This de-
feet should be remedied as soon as
possible, and in this connection Mr..
Wheelock called the attention Of the
assemblymen to the coming G. A. r.
Encampment, to be held here next
summer, and emphasized the import
ance of the citys providing at least one
beautiful approach to Como Park.
On motion of Mr.. Johnson it was de-
cided to make the resolutions in
question the special order Of business
at a special meeting of the assembly
to be held next Thursday night, when
the propriety and advisability of max
ing the improvements will be thor
oughly discussed.
The resolution from the board of alder
men approving the specifications for
gasoline lighting received the same
treatment, the discussion of the matter
being deferred until the special meet
ing already mentioned. In this con-
nection Mr.. Lewis said that the light
ing of any portion of the city was too
important a matter to be passed upon
without thorough consideration. 1t
might be found advisable to alter the
extent of the gasoline district, per-
haps TO contract. Moreover, the. dis
trict to be lighted with electricity had
not been determined. These matters
deserved careful deliberation.
For the same reasons the discussion
of Aid. Brady's resolution asking the
board Of public works to state how
many gas lamps could be dispensed
with and arc lights substituted there
for, was likewise deferred until the
special meeting next Thursday night.
. In view of the fact that Mr.. Parker's
ordinance against the smoke nuisance
went into effect Nov. 1, but has not yet
been enforced, Mr.. Parker introduced
another ordinance making it the duty
of the chief of police and his force to
see that the smoke ordinance is en-
forced, and in case of any violation to
make complaint thereof to the city at
torney. Under suspension of the rules
the ordinance was passed.
Mr.. Van Slyke introduced his ordi-
nance regulating auctioneers. 1t pro-
vides that all persons following the
business of auctioneering shall first
procure a license therefor 1t reduces
the present license fee from 5000 to $100
year, and further requires any licens-
ed auctioneer who desires to sell goods
at any place other than his own place
of business to first procure a special
permit therefor, for which he shall pay
the sum of s. a. day. A like fee must be
paid by the owner of he.gcods before
he will be permitted to sell them else
where than at his own place of busi-
ness. The ordinance was referred to
the license cCalmittee.
Mr.. Strouse, chairman of the special
committee appointed to draft resolu-
tons thanking the city council of Du-
luth for. the courtesy extended. to the
common. council and. city officials OF
ST. Paul upon the occasion of their re-
cent visit to the Zenith City, submitted
appropriate solutions of thanks, which
included an invitation to the Duluth Of
fcials to visit st. Paul and push a
good thing along. The resolutions were
adopted. f1s.F
