AT THE CITY HALL.
miscellaneous Matters of Interest to
the Taxpayers and the Mu-
nfcipaI Officers.

The public improvements committee OF
the upper house met yesterday afternoon
to consider the smoke nuisance ordinance.
The only protestor against the introduction
of smoke consumers to appear was ].
Martin Jones. general manager of the
Dold Packing Company. He said he had
studied the so-called smoke consumers and
had not as yet discovered any practical
device or system for tn" suppression of
the smoke nuisance. The boilers at his
plant were so constructed that they would
have TO be rebuilt in order TO apply any
apparatus now in existence. and, more
over, ii had been the result OF his obserVa-
tioH that smoke consumers hampered the
power and utility of steam plantG. His
plant had TO compete with those across the
state line, which would not be so ham
pered, so he considered the proposed ordi-
nance a special hardship upon his COM
pany.
George 7. Stockham. manager of the
Midland Hotel Company. was present to
urge the passage of the ordinance. Alder
man w. w. Morgan asked him why, if ne
favored the abatement of the smoke nuis-
ance, he did not use smoke consumers in
the Midland, to which Mr.. StOckham re-
piled that he would be glad to do so as
soon as the ordinance was passed. 1t was
next Tuesday afternoon in the upper house
of the city council chamber. to which are
invited all owners of steam plants and
owners or tenants of large buildings and
all others interested in the suppression of
the smoke nuisance.
City Engineer Wise said yesterday after
noon that the combustion OF smoke TO the
extent that its offensiveuess is destroyed
is entirely practicable.
The advance agent of variety show
called upon Mayor Jones yesterday and
asked for a license. Asked to describe the
character of his entertainment the agent
said that a three-round prize fight was one
Of the attractions. The mayor requested
the agent to call again to-day when he
would receive his answer and in the mean
time Judge MCDoUEal. city counselor. wds
asked for an opinion regarding the legality
of boxing contests The Judge declared it
a misdemeancr in a written opinion, sub
mitted last night. 1t follows:

Of Kansas City. Dear Sir:-Section 3757 of
