made by which the companies are 20 re-
move all poles within twenty days pro-
yided three poles TO the block are allowed
to remain, that a reasonable time ne al
lowed 10 bury the wires and that the wires
be put underground in the alleys when re-
quired by the council.
The committee on streets reported IN Ia
vor of allowing the companies more time
10 put wires under ground, provided all
companies agree TO the plan OF three poles
10 the block. Little explained that the re-
port was made because properly owners
had petitioned 10 allow the companies more
time. and that the agreement was TO cover
all OF Front and Second streets 10 blke,
IN which there was TO be no immediate
paving. Chapman asked If the report did
not virtually leave the matter where IT

city should not be left where IL could not
compel the companies to bury wires in
the alleys, IL II might be decided upon,
and that the companies might OBJECT on
the ground that they had just been eX-
pending money upon promise that they
would be unmolested on the streets with
three poles 20 the block James said that
as member of the committee. he wanted
to admit that the report was back
down. and he had thought il best. as the
property owners had so petitioned. but he
did not think that all property owners
meant it. because some of the signers had
called him into their places of business
and asked him not 10 pay any attention TO
the petition. Some OF the signers had APP

a committee of the aldermen. James re-
piled 10 Jones with great energy. stating
that he did not want anybody to come in

asked the majority to not report and had
now changed his tactics. Comptroller
Parry explained that the Seattle Brewing
and Mailing Company is now paying for
nearly all the licenses, as few could af-
ford to pay the cash, and the licenses
