s DO NOT ACT ON THEM.

| The mayor was again present, To-
gether with five aldermen, at the ad-
journed council meeting Monday night.
Aldermen Frost, FRANKIE and Berens
were absent.
An application for aid was presented
for Mrs. Parks, properly signed, and
was referred to the pauper committee.
An amended petition for macadam-
izing Durkee avenue, changing so as to
have work done to city limits, and
adding a number of property owners
names to the petition, was handed IN
and the committee reported on the
previous petition, including 7" to the
city limits" favorably. Alderman
McGivern informed the council that
two property owners had been to him
Directing to having the work done at
present, so the report was only accept
ed but not adopted, and the matter
stands just where it did.
On the subject of wholesale liquor
licenses the committee reported that
they could not find that the parties in
question (Klinkert, of Racine; and
Miller, of Milwaukee, had broken the
law, inasmuch as they had retailed
and wholesaled from the same room
and under those conditions only one
license was necessary Attorney Cav
anagh asked the council to favor him
for few minutes. He stated that he
represented the Pabst ard Schlitz
brewing companies, and was credibly
informed that representatives of the
Miller company until within the last
week, had wholesaled from the north
side and retailed from their Third ward
saloon and that since the agitation
had been started they were building
an addition to their saloon SO that they
could do both from the same place.
In another case he was informed that
the party retailed on North Main
street and had his wholesale ware
house on Union street, although on the
same lot it made two separate places.
Mr.. Cavanagh stated that they did not
wish to bring hardship on anyone, but
that the council had compelled the
people he represented to pay two
licenses, and in justice to them and
also for the benefit of the city, the rest
OF the wholesalers ought to do the
same.
Some of the aldermen thought that
the cases were different. Alderman
Jacobs said that they did not sell from
their storehouse, but that they sold
from their wagons, whereupon Mr..
Cavanagh said that if that was the
case they surely sold from two places,
as they all would admit that they re-
tailed from their place of business, but
the alderman could not see it that way,
and the report of the committee was
accepted b. the following vote: Ayes
Gonnerman, Jacobs, McGivern; noes
Weyhe, German.
In this case, as in the previous, the
report was Only accepted, but not
adopted, so the situation stands un-
changed.
The sewer in Durkee avenue and
Eagle street was assessed to the abut-
ting property, and the thirty days no.
tice ordered published for those who
wished to pay cash.
Mrs. Morehouse was allowed So per
week for taking care of Mrs. Mann.
The matter of putting in catch basins
in Durkee avenue and elsewhere was
referred to the street committee to find
tout how they could be put in without
cash on hand.
The prompt-repair sidewalk ordi-
nance was given it's second reading and
passed.
The walk in front of the city hall was
ordered rebuilt.
On motion of Alderman Weyhe the
railway company was ordered to put
gates at Strong street, Newell street,
West Park street, West Market street
and Division street. He stated that the
city council had been censured by the
coroners jury for not ordering gates
put in before the last accident occurred.
The council also passed a resolution
agreeing not to disturb the grade of the
railroad during the present administra-
ton, in return for which the company
is to help to fix up West Main street
and curb their side of it.
The width of the curb in West Main
street was changed to eight feet from
Middle street to Prairie avenue with
the exception of the depot block, and
ordered curbed on both sides with 2x12
plank curbing. The placing of the
gravel, to be furnished by the railway
4 company, was left to the street com
mittee and city engineer.
Pearl street was also ordered gravel
ed the full length east of West Main.
The committee on streets reported
in favor of putting in more new walks.
The council adjourned.
