way. He insisted that many of the larg-
est property owners want the line along
Margaret street, and want it badly. 1t
would not make any difference to the rail-
way company, MIR Lazaron said, whether
1t were allowed the use of Zubly or Mar
garet streets. but that the assistant city
engineer had told him that it would be
better for the city if the road should use
Margaret street. Upon motion the report
of the committee on streets and lanes was
agreed to, and the line will run on Mar
garet street.
The ordinance offered by Chairman Da-
Wis of the street and lane committee for
the paving of Barnard street, between
Bay and Bryan, was read, and, after some
discussion, was passed. The material is
to be granite blocks. Alderman Davis was
asked about the costs to the city, and
replied that II would cost the city but
very little. He said that the street car
company would have to pay one-third of
the cost, the property owners two-thirds,
and that there would not be much left for
the city to pay.
A resolution by Alderman Reid who
was absent, was introduced, providing
that the cost of repairs recently made on
the tug Theckla be charged to the appro-
priation for the quarantine station, and
that an extra sum to cover this item should
be added TO the appropriation. Alderman
Reid had not been able to ascertain what
these repairs amounted to, but Clerk of
Council Bailey stated that the cost was
about $1,000. Alderman Hull, thereupon,
offered an amendment providing that this
amount be added to the appropriation for
the station on account of the repairs that
had been made on the Theckla, and the
resolution, in it's amended form, was
adopted.
A resolution submitted by Chairman
Charlton of the committee on opening
streets, was read. This was to the effect
that council should authorize the pur-
chase of property from the Maupas tract
for the opening of Drayton, Abercorn, Lin
coin and Habersham streets, at IL cents
pen square foot. A similar resolution was
submitted for the purchase of a small lot
of land on the line of West Broad street,
with the view of that street being opened
to Twelfth.
AS the board of aldermen were about to
adjourn, Alderman Krouskoff called atten-
ton to the fact that the Sunday closing
ordinance is being glarngly violated.
Not more than stones throw from this
building" said he there is a violation
every Sunday of this ordinance and this
body should do something to see that its
ordinances are enforced. My personal ex-
perience has shown that there are viola
tons and they should not permitted"
what do you mean; what kind of vio-
lations are there?" he was asked.
Alderman Krouskoff declined to mention
the places that remain open in violation of
the ordinance, but said that since investi-
cations were in order he thought the board
might do well to look into the matter and
learn why the ordinance was not enforced.
Alderman Charlton here asked Alderman
Krouskoff why he did not go to the police
and have the violators of the ordinance
put on the information docket and the lat
ter replied that he did not care to do de-
tective work for the city. The mayor sug-
gested that the alderman report such vio-
lations TO him, and said he would see that
the guilty parties were put on the docket.
