The matter of responsibility for the

proposed new school houses came up in
the regular weekly council meeting held
yesterday. Councilman Munson wanted
to know the present status OF the natter,

man of the special committee appointed
to confer upon the subject with the board
of education. informed his colleague es
that the committee had met with the
board and had been ''sont home" by that
body without accomplishing any result.
He wanted further instructions as to how
to proceed.
President Teed said that work upon the
proposed new buildings must be COM

any deviation from the statute was i'm
possible.
The special committee of the council
received no further instructions, and

for the work. to do it according to CON

A BOND PROPOSITION

Ex-Clty Attorney Charles McF arland
appeared before the council during the
afternoon session to offer in behalf Of cer-
tain unknown clients to purchase the
whole Issue OF the refunding bonds, oil
which so much has recently been said and
written. Mr.. Mcfarland offered that if
the city would adveruse to receive bids
for the bonds in question up to next
Monday, without any quibbling. the Sc
curitles to be taken from the city with
ont the necessity OF the proposed su-
preme court decision to test the validity
of the bonds, his client stood ready to
make an honest and legitimate tender.
The eX-city attorney, i'll answer to
questions stated that he could not at
this time, in the face of possible compli
cations. say how much. if
any, premium he stood ready to
pay. He would certainly give at least
par. In his opinion the expected su
preme court decision could not be hand
ed down before the expiration of four
months. He thought that if the sale OF
the bonds was again advertised deposit
of three or four thousand dollars ought to
be made with the city as guaran-
tee OF good faith. He wanted it distinctly
understood that in this matter he did
not represent Street. Wykes Il Co. or any
person connected with the firm.
Councilman Blanchard said that he did
not care to take action upon the pending
matter at this time, and Cousncilman
Kingery abruptly had the matter dis
missed without action by moving to take
up the matter of the request by certain
steam ship agents that they be exempted
from the provisions of the sigr ordin-
ance which subject Mr.. kingery charac
terized as very important matter. The
city is in the meantime paying nearly
$500 a month interest because OF the re-
funding bond muddle. besides which Mr..
Mcfarland proposition involved a cash
outlay OF nearly S4o0. 600.

TALKING ABOUT PLUMBING

Councilman Munson here again attack ed
the last plumbing ordinance by motion
that the health officer and plumbing in
spector be instructed to at once connect
the house on the corner OF Ninth and
Bonnie Brae streets with the proper
sewer if the plumbing is in proper CON
dition. Several OF Munson's S colleagues
thought the resolution rather sweeping
and also the legislation intended some
thing OF a special character Councilman
Munson thought that when the ordin-
ance in question had been passed it had
concealed in some of its innocent sections
a peculiar kind of bug, which was now
raising more or less OF a row all over the
city. He wanted to know Just what the
ordinance really meant
Mr.. Munson's motion was dissected,
Vlvisected and iiguratively hanged, drawn
and quartered and was finally amende
to read that the permit for sewer connec-
tion be granted if plumbing is found in
good sanitary condition, and then passed
Mr.. Steddom being called before the
council stated in reference to the matter
that he had never inspected the prem
ises under discussion. He would like to
do so and make an official sanitary re-.
port upon the subject.
