Mr.. Kaufman at this point called out that
he had never offered any lots 10 anybody.
James-Did you tell Mr.. Hussey that you
had offered Mr.. Little any lots?
Koufman-No. sir Very emphatically.)
After further discussion OF a similar
tenor, J. NJ. Wrestling. commander OF the
Grand Army post. and /. J. 14ichtenberg adj
dressed the council against the petition
arguing that the cemetery had really inn
proved the neighborhood. They also denied
that Ii was Kaufman's cemetery, as
charged, and said il bore the Grand Army
name and had a distinct connection with
that organization.
Chapman, being requested TO speak on
the subject from sanitary point of view.
ridiculed the objections brought against
the cemetery. The wells IN the neighbor-
hood. he said. did not form any particular

had not brought any. He did not believe
there had been any clandestine proceeding
in procuring the ordinance.
BY a vote of TO / the petition was re-
jected, Crichton casting the vote in its ia
vor. About an hour later. when the house
was about to adjourn, Crichton gave notice
that he would move next week to recon-
slider the vote. James moved that ii be
reconsdered at once, and Crichton eX-
planned that what he desired was TO have
the ordinance so amended that the public
should be assured of its maintenance as a
Grand Army cemetery, long as the
Grand Army desired ii, and not be sold as
lots when the boom came. The reconsider
alton of the vote was lost.
A measure which has been up several
times is ordinance making the mar
ket inspector the sanitary officer of the
city. instead of the health officer, and the
inspection of sewers heretofore ordered TO
be done by the superintendent of streets
TO be done by the plumbing inspector. This
passed the board OF aldermen on November
II and since then has been several times
amended and laid on the table, and last
night a reconsideration of the vote in the
house was postponed for week.
A petition was read from the Seattle
General hospital asking that fair proper
ton of the emergency cases to which med
zeal or surgical treatment is supplied by
the city, should be sent TO that institution
for treatment. A second petition from the
hospital asked that the city should fur
nish water to the institution free. This
was referred TO the fire and water COM
mittee. while the first petition was sent to
the sanitary committee. A petition from
the Bailey Gatzert kindergarten for free
water was favorably reported and a mo-
ton that the petition be granted was car
ried.
The claims committee reported in favor
of paying j. E. Morse $50 for injuries re-
ceived owing to bad sidewalk. and to SAM
uel Mcclure $500 for similar injuries, Good
hue remarking when the bills were passed
authorizing these payments that the COM
mittee hoped that in short time the. citys
streets would be in such good condition
that no such claims would be presented.
The finance committees report authoriz-
ing expenditures for the month of Febru-
airy was adopted.
In joint session of the two houses the
clerk opened the bids for the railroad fran
chises asked for by the Seattle Consoll-
