WILL CONTEST THE MATTER
Property Owners on First Street Not
All in Favor of Resurfacing

The proposition for the resurfacing
and re-aligning of the curb along First
street from Main street to Santa Fe
avenue, for which petition is now be-
fore the council, will cause quite con-
test. Late yesterday afternoon pro-
test was filed in the office of the city
clerk against the purported work. The
protest is signed by James M. Davies
and seventeen other property owners.
They claim that they have once paid
for such work on that street and assert
that the paving will compare favorably
with that of any other street in the city.
The protestants, however, fall about
600 feet short of owning the majority of
the property along that street. Yester-
day was the last day under the ordi-
rance for the filing of the protest. Both
sides will take up the matter in the
council and lively fight is expected.

along Lyon street from Macy street to
the Hoover vineyard tract at the pres
ent time was the first business of the
afternoon session. G. Sormano and a
number of others had presented the pro-

SWEEPING CONTRACTOR
New Pesthouse Wanted-A Protest
Against First Street Resurfac-
ing-Boulevard Inspection

The regular meeting of the city coun-
Gil yesterday proved to be very busy
and, to the property owners of the city,
important one. The. first duty perform
ed by the members was to visit the
chamber of commerce and there pay
Virginia. This they did in most grace
full manner, and after few minutes
epent there returned to their municipal
duties. At the morning session the first
present pest houses with new build
ings. The auditors report showed that
the treasurer's balance had been over
drawn during the week ended Saturday
The session closed with a successful
effort to tangle the president pro tenn
on parliamentary law and turn the
laugh on him. This was success in ev-
cry particular and it would have been so
with any presiding officer, however well
versed in parliamentary tactics.
At the afternoon session the most
unusual matter which was considered
was communication from the health
officer preferring charges of disobedi-
ence against the inspector of street
sweeping. This went to special COM
mittee for investigation. The expected
opinion Of the city attorney as to the
legality of the contract of 1860 between
the city and the water company was not
nled as that official had not been able to
prepare it as yet. The board of public
works did not report upon the important
changes contemplated in the sidewalks
and cutters along Main street, as further
investigation was desired.
THE MORNING SESSION
All members except President Silver
and Mr.. Hutchison were in. their places
when the morning session was called to
order at 10 o'clock. Both of the absentees
are away from the city, Mr.. Hutchison
having been granted a three weeks
leave Of absence On motion of Mr..
Baker, Councilman Mathuss was chosen
to preside. He objected, complaining
of pain in his eyes, but his colleagues in
sisted and he took the chair He an
nounced that the presence of the council
was desired at the reception of the West
Virginia visitors at the chamber of COM
merce and suggested that the members
and a recess of thirty minutes was TAX
en-. Accompanied by Mayor Snyder, the
councilmen repaired to the chamber
where they were introduced to the visit
ing members of congress and officers Of

to the city hall. The council was again
called to order at 10:45 o'clock.

I'VE find the main building and some
Of the smaller ones in state of dilapida-
tion beyond the advisa bility of repair

therefore recommend that the present
buildings be removed and new struc-
lures with modern conveniences replace
them.

commend that two or three cedar
