PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL.
Council met Monday evening and held
a very brief session-the only business
transacted being the passage of Ordi-
nance No. 126, providing for the widen
ing of South Carolina avenue, to it's
second reading, without amendment,
by q vote of IL to 4. When the Ordi-
nance was called up by Mr.. Rose, Mr..
Barrett moved it be referred to the City
Solicitor for his opinion.
Mr.. Long thought it unnecessary for
the Solicitor had himself drawn the Ordi-
nance.
Mr.. Rose said it had been drawn in
compliance with the law, and that a
petition, signed by every abuttiDg pro-
perty owner but one, asking that the
improvement be made, was in possess
session of Council and was read by the
Clerk. He hoped Mr.. Barrett's motion
for delay would not prevail, for it was
desirable that the work be completed be-
fore cold weather,
Mr.. Lingerman asked who would
have to pay the damages.
Mr.. Rose said the R. R. Company and
not the City. Motion to refer was lost
yeas 4 nays 10.
The Ordinance was then open for
amendments, but none were offered, and
it passed second reading by IL yeas to
4 nays, and Council adjourned. City
Clerk Irelan was granted two weeks
vacation.
