siding.
Mrs. Moran, at 1915 M street, said she
was at present unable to put down a
new sidewalk as she had been notified
To- and claimed that the sidewalk at
present was not in bad condition. The
Aatter was referred to the Street Com
nittee, to be reported on.
q. N. Bugbey appeared before the
BOARD in relation to the new sidewalk
on twenty third street, near N. He
SAID that with the present grade it
would necessitate a break down of a
loot at the alley. He wished to have
the privilege Of putting down his walk
on the same grade as that on the Oppo-
site side Of the street. He explained
the condition of affairs, and said that
the grade of the street, as fixed by a
1ormer Street Superintendent, was diff
ferent from the grade now fixed and left
things in bad shape.
He was refused the privilege of MAX
Ing an incline in the walk to his stable.
T. A. W. Shock of the Electric, Gas
and Railway Company announced that
electricity had been applied to the
Phoenix Mill, and he would be glad to
have the board go with him, either in
dividually or collectively. The motor is
I5-horse power one, the same size as
that required to run the pumping plant
and is giving perfect satisfaction. The
Southern Pacific Company has also in
stalled several motors in it's shops
On motion Of Devine the board de-
cided to go at B p. m. Friday to inspect
the motor, deeming it important to do
SO.
A. French who has a bootblack stand
at Tenth and K streets, said that the or
dinance for removing stands from the
sidewalks was being enforced against
him, and he asked that he be permitted
to retain it.
Devine moved that the Mayor be re-
quested to allow Mr.. French, who Is an
aged man, to retain his stand where it
is.
Leonard said he could not entertain
the motion, as the board could not ad-
Vocate the violation of an ordinance.
but when Kent moved that it was the
sense Of the board that Mr.. French be
not interfered with by the police it was
carried.
Wachhorst said that Dr. Snider had
told him that the trustees of the Orphan
Asylum had been notified to immedi-
ately put down a sidewalk around the
block. The ground on one side was not
at present fit and they asked further
time to be granted. He moved it be
granted.

undo all that had been done, as a num-
Der Of other parties were kicking, and
