FIRST. OF THE YEAR.
,The oouncn Held Its Regular Meeting
Last Nieht-Bills Allowed.

Last evening was the time set for the
regular monthly session of the city coun-
eli, and when at 7:30 Mayor Menefee
called the meeting to order, roll call was
answered by councilmen NJ. T. Nolan,
Charles Lauer, L. E. Grove, S. S.
Johns, R. E. Saltmarshe and T. F.
Wood.
After the reading by the recorder of
the previous minutes, petition was
presented by John VI. Marden, Pat
Pagan, ]. G. Mack and others, asking
that a crosswalk be built on Second
street, at the center of the block bound
ed by Union and Court streets. Mr..
Nolan moved that the petition be re-
ferred to the committee on streets and
public property, and The motion, being
seconded by Mr.. Grove, passed.
The committee to whom had been re-
ferred the petition of A. S. Bennett, ask
ing that the alley-way through his prop
erty, near the Mill creek bridge, be
condemned, recommended that the Pc
tition be granted, provided that the
petitioner would grant ten-foot strip,
running north and south, on the west
side of his property. On motion of
Councilman Lauer, the report and rec
ommendation were adopted.
The condition of our streets was the
next subject for discussion, and at this
juncture Mr.. Grove moved that the
marshal be authorized to employ man
to work upon the streets for euch time
as he may deem necessary. The remun-
erstion was placed at 50 per day, and
the motion carried.
The select committee on the Obarr
case next occupied the attention of the
council with their report. The commit
tee said the case of Mrs. Obarr against the
city for damages growing out of the late
smallpox scare, had been compromised
by the city paying Mrs. Obarr 5000 in
full satisfaction. The report recon-
mended that A. S. Bennett be paid $40
as an attorney fee, including costs. The
report was adopted and the recorder
instructed to draw the necessary war
rant.
A general ordinance, regulating the
mode of the expenditure of public
money, was then placed upon its pas
sage. The ordinance provides that all
warrants drawn upon the city shall be
paid from the general fund, except war
rants upon fund which has been Gre
ated for special purpose. In the vote
upon the ordinance Messrs. Nolan,
Lauer, Grove, Johns, Saltmarshe and
Wood voted aye and the ordinance was
declared passed.
A special ordinance providing for the
transfer of money from special funds to
the general fund was also passed. By
this ordinance $40 is transferred from
the city officers fund, $249.4O from the
police fund, $3.50 from the current ex-
pense fund, $85.45 from the fire depart
ment fund, sS62.52 from the street and
sewer improvement fund.

Mr.. Lauer, the following claims against

Washington, January 9.-At the begin
ning of this congress the house accepted
for its pa Elementary code the rules of the
last republican congress. the ftfty-hrst.
with such changes as might be made by
the committee on rules. These changes
were reported TO the house by the com
mittee today and, with but one exception,
are unimportant. The exception Is the
mode of establishing the presence OF
quorum, which, after the precedent LAID
down by Speaker Reed In the Fifty-iirst
congress- became a most Important point
of parliamentary practice. In the last
congress Speaker Crisp achieved the same
result which Mr.. Reed obtained, by rule
under which members were designated TO
note those present and not voting on
roll. The committee on rules now pro-
noses a rule introduced by ]. Randolph
Tucker of Virginia In the Forty-siNth con-
gress. Another new rule provides that the
spef ker shall entertain only one motion
TO adjourn and no other dllatory motion
after a report had been made by the com
mittee on rules until the report has besn
fully disposed OF. The rule by when mo
