| duits.
Alderman Garrard said the resolution
was simply a permission to the telephone
company to put its wires under ground,
which would be an advantage to the city
| rather than to the company.
DR.. Falligant replied that until plan
of house drainage is adopted by the city
It is poor policy to go ahead and let a
| lot of pipes be put down which would
seriously interfere with drainage work.

the table the vote stood and 6. and the
| mayor voted no. The same vote resulted
on the motion to adopt the resolution,
the mayor casting the deciding vote in
! favor OF adoption.
Alderman Falligant's ordinance defining
! the lines of Bull street from Anderson
| street to the southern limits of the city
| was taken up on its second reading. AL
| derman Falligant said the intention Of the
ordinance was to correct the line Of Bull
street. which is practically ruined at pres
ent by the sharp abutment, which he des-
| cribed as sharp job.
Mayor Myers said he was a member of
council when the ordinance referred to
/ was adopted, and that the reason for the
adoption of the present lines was the
/ great expense that would be necessary to
secure a straight line.
The city is in even better condition now
than 1t was then, and the same reason
| nOiuS SOOO now SAID Mayor Myers.
The present lines practically ruin that
portion of the street." said Alderman Fall
ligant, "and are great damage to the
property on that portion of the street.
