The Council Wants More water to Drink

The Council wants More water to Drink
ard Less Wasted on the streets.
The City Council held the usual
monthly meeting Friday night, with
only Councilman P'Pool absent.
The principle topic of discussion
was an attempt to repeal the depot
ordinance prohibiting hackmen and
porters from obstructing the plat
form. This was enlivened by spat
between Councilmen Ware and
Flack. Mr.. Ware declared that he
would vote for the good of the city
without attempting to pander or
cater to the colored vote. This
brought the member from the Sixth
ward to his feet with an "explana-
ton" while Mr.. Ware was loudly APP
plauded on the success of his shot
fired at random. The repeal received
three votes, one of them cast under a
misrepresentation. Mayor Dabney
decided the tie and the ordinance
stands.
The bicycle ordinance requested by
Charley Prowse, on behalf of ii e
wheelmen of the city, was passed. 1t
prohibits wettng the streets beyond
the needs Of sprinkling to prevent
dust
Councilman Perry did the people
OF Durrett avenue a great service by
having the Council order the boring
OF public well on their street. Upon
motion Of Councilman Ware the or
der was amended and another we'll
contracted for on Hays street in the
Fifth Ward. The spring near the L.
a. n. bridge will also be walled up
and put in good condition. These
additions to the drinking water sup
ply of the city will be of great bene-
lit and convenience to the people.
Assessor Bradley was directed to
take the fall census of the city at
once.
The usual accounts were allowed
and the Council adjourned.

House yesterday afternoon to a
good house. Capt. Hindman led of
with the usual stock arguments
of the goldbugs and was 70 lowed by
Mr.. Parker in a defense of the Popu-
list party. Mr.. Parier was still
speaking when our forms were closed
at four o'clock. The crowd was or.
derby aud respectful to both speak
ers. The discussion was not a joint
debate, as Capt, Hindman refuses to
divide time with anybody since his
experience with Charlie Wheeler, but
two distinct speeches.

accordingly nominated and the meet
