I'actual estimates, so that they would
stand any test.
On the report of the water committee
the water company was instructed 10
lay proper pipes and furnish an adequate
water supply for Del Monte street.
Councilman Baker was granted one
weeks leave of absence from Wednesday
next.
The usual petitions were read and re-
| ferred to the proper committees. Among
! these petitions was one from the w. C.
| T. U. asking that the exhibition of the
kaleidoscope pictures of the Corbett-F -Fitz-
simmons fight be prohibited in this city.
AGAIN THE WATER QUESTION
Councilman Grider moved that the
city engineer present his report on the
water company in two weeks, even II it
should require additional help, which
motion was seconded by Councilman
Hutchison.
Councilman Nickel wanted the report
| as soon as possible, but he did not think
that he should be hurried and forced to
present report he could not back up.
| Councilman Grider said that when the
| matter first came up Mr.. Dockweiler
had said that the work could be done in
two weeks. Five weeks had passed, and
| now he stated that it would require q
month longer.
| Mr. Dockweiler was called in, and
stated that he was pushing the work as
| rapidly as possible, but he did not think
| that he could have his report ready in
| two weeks.
| Councilman Hutchison said that from
| the engineers remarks it was evident
that the people would never vote to
purchase the present plant of the water
company, and he therefore thought that
the city council should get down to busi-
| ness and commence making arrange
ments for the building of new system.
! Mr.. Orders motion was finally defeat
ed by vote of 5 to 4, and the council ad-
! journed

locate the place where the disputed pole
is to be established.
| Mr.. Drain stated that under the char
| ter of the company he had nothing what
ever to do with the matter as that lay
with the council altogether. He objected
to doing what was clearly the duty of
the council.
| The president declared the motion car
| ried, but on the call of the roll being de-
manded it was defeated by vote of 6
| to 3, and the matter was then referred to
| the board of public works
In reference to the city engineers re-
port of May 18th, on the Macy street
| bridge, the bridge committee recon-
mended that the city engineer be in
| structed to present to this council plans
and specifications for the repairs, to-
gether with the probable cost Of same.

CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT
The city engineer presented the fol-
lowing report:
| Final ordinance establishing the grade

street to point 210 feet east of the west

nus of their Daily street tracks.

Afternoon Session

The council met at 2 o'clock, with Pres
ident Silver in the chair, when the spe-
cial order, the hearing of the protests
against the opening Of an alley from
Sixth to Seventh streets, between Main
and Spring, was again taken up, and Mr..
James addressed the council, favoring
an alley with siXteen-foot entrance on
Sixth and Seventh Streets and twenty
feet in the middle, which he said was
wide enough for all practical purposes.
w. M. Garland followed, arguing in
favor of the petition as presented, say
ing that while twenty-foot alley would
undoubtedly be best, 1t was better than
to have any further delay to put up with
an alley with a twenty-foot entrance
at Seventh street and a sixteenfoot EN-
trance at Sixth. Mr.. Garland repre-
sented Mr.. Story, who had been pushing
this alley matter from the first.
The petition asking for twenty-foot
entrance On Seventh and sixteen-foot
entrance on Sixth was read, when Mr..
E. A. Forester challenged the state
ments, and stated that one of the petit
toners had told him that she wished a
sixteen-foot entrance at either end.
After some further talk, on motion of
Councilman Nickell proceedings for
the opening of the alley were abandoned
and the city attorney was instructed to
present an ordinance providing for an
alley with sixteen-foot entrance al
Sixth and Seventh streets, with twenty
feet in the middle.
The next special order, the hearing OF
the appeal in the matter of the accept
ance of Hoff street, between DAILY street
and Griffin avenue, was taken up, and
Mr.. Batcheller addressed the council
against the acceptance of the street on
the ground that the assessment was not
properly made out. The contractor also
spoke, saying that every protestant had
withdrawn but Mr. Batcheller, and that
the appeal was in the nature of a hold
up" He stated plainly that the whols
thing had been jobbed from the begin
ming, and that he had been compelled
to give two of the protestants II per
cent discounts to get them to withdraw
from the appeal
The map was sent for and Protestant
Batcheller said that there was a six
inch strip between his property. nine
feet, and the street. City Engineer
