ed.
Both Branches of Council met last
evening in regular session, and trans
acted business as follows:
The report of the Committee on Or
dinances, transmitted two ordinances
regulating the price of meat, in ac-
cordance with the instructions con-
tanned in the Farrell resolution"
published in full in yesterdays Reg
lister. The ordinances related to the
two markets, and were identical. The
Second ward ordinance was as follows:
"MEAT-WHERE AND HOW TO BE
SOLD.
can Ordinance amending and reor-
daining Sec. q Of an ordinance en-
titled. An ordinance in relation to
Markets and the Clerks of the Mar
ket.'
BE it ordained by the Council Of
the City Of Wheeling:
Sec. l. No person shall sell meat at
such market Or any other place than a
regular butchers stall in the inside
of the market, so long as any of such
stalls are not rented. When all such
stalls are rented, the Clerk Of the
Market may permit such sale at some
other place, to be designated by him.

passage.
Sec. 3. All ordinances and parts of

Mr.. Hamilton objected to the sec
ond reading of the two measures, and
they went over.
The Committee on Salaries called
attention to the fact that some time
ago it had recommended an increase
in the salaries of police lieutenants by
the sum of so per month. The mat
ter had been reported TO Ordinances
with instructions to draw the neces-
sary ordinance. This the Committee
had fatty refused to do, under the mis-
taken idea that it had something to
say about salaries, and could refuse to
obey orders if it wanted to. The
Council referred the matter back to
the Committee, and at the same time
the Chair gently intimated to the Com
mittee that it must report on all mat
tiers in writing, while in this case no
report whatever was ever made, the
Committee calmly pigeon-holing the
whole matter.
The, Committee on Fire Department
asked for permission to buy car Of
oats, and the authority was given.
The estimate of the Committee on
Fire Department calling for $49,-
S15.42, was referred to Finance.
The Committee on Claims asked the
Committee on Streets, Alleys and
Grades to have a grade established on
"McCulloch street east of Seventeenth,
in alley Is between Wood and McCul-
loch, and on McCulloch, between Six
teenth and Eighteenth streets" The
members could not understand the
matter, and Mr.. Britt made an expla-
nation Of the matter. and its relation
to the Elder and McGannon claims.
The resolution was then adopted, as
was an accompanying resolution order
ing the 3. p w. to make the ground
conform to the grade when made.
The Committees on Ordinances and
Streets, Alleys and Grades reported in
favor of the Reymann railroad switch,
on Sixteenth street, and the ordinance
was taken up and passed.
The Committee on Real Estate was
authorized to have the furniture in the
Council chamber vanished, at a cost
of not over $50.
The bond of James X. Hall, City Coli
lector, in the penal sum Of 100000, with
John Frew and John j. Jones as sure
ties, was approved
The report of the City Clerk showed
total balances of $47,59471. The City
Collector has paid to the City Receiver
taxes to the total amount Of 1924, S50.46.
A petition from the Knights Of st.
George, requesting the privilege Of
drilling in the Second ward market
hall, was recommended by the Com
mittee. On motion of Mr. Hamilton it
was changed to read upon the same
basis as other organizations" This
was said to mean one dollar per night,
and in that shape the resolution was
passed.
A resolution from the Committee on
Fire Department, insTucting the Com
mittee on Ordinances 10 draw an or
dinance authorizing the Chief of the
Fire Department to compel the re-
moyal of rubbish, waste paper, etc,
