block between Spring and Main streets.
Adopted.
In regard to the motion of Mr.. Muuson,
that Thomas B. Clark, as auctioneer, be
appointed 10 sell the stock of watches and
je7Geiry OF Mrs. Wagner at auction, with
out the necessity OF procuring license
under the license ordinance. | am OF the
opinion that this cannot be done without
amendment to the license ordinance. The
provisions of an ordinance cannot be set
aside or suspended except by an ordinance.
Approved.
AS directed by you some time ago, have
prepared aud herewith present a contract
between the CITY and Ramish & NJ arsh, by
which the city agrees to pay them % cents
per .ineal foot tor the excavation around
the water pipe on Orange street east of
Alvarado street. Filed.
You have instructed me to prepare an
ordinance which will change the system of
making connections TO public sewers AMI
provide for the inspection OF such all WORK
by the plumbing inspector. The matter is
now in charge of the street superintendent,
and if you wish to simplify the work and
put it in charge of one man, it would be
simpler and easier to provide tina. the i'll
spector in the street department should in
spect that portion of the work done in the
street and also that portion done from
the street line to the house line. AS the
streets and must see that ali eXcavati ons
i'll streets are properly made and the street
placed in proper condition after the work
is done, | do not believe it would be prac-
ticabie or possible to provide that the
plumbing inspector should have charge of
this work. Referred to the sewer commit
tee.
In the matter of the instruction to pre-
sent an ordinance granting permission to
Nj. Iuretti to do certain work on Glider
street, the instruc ion and the petition Of
Zurett are not sufficiently definite for me
to draw an ordinance therefrom, re-
commend therefore that Mr.. Zure,t be re-
quired to make his petition more explicit.
Referred TO the contractor specified for
new petition.
You directed me some time ago to pre-
pare lease between the city and W. 3.
Carter for the building and maintaining of
boating and bathing resort at Echo ark.
This lease and contract have never been
presented because Mr.. Carter has aban-
doned the project. Approved.
