 Over the Consolidated Road.
 At the meeting of the board of public works last evening Commissioner Hoyt called attention to the fact that c. c, Andrew & Co.,, who have recently pur- chased and refitted the storehouse at State and Fair streets, had placed a carrier for the purpose of taking beef from wagons to the storehouse over the sidewalk on the Fair street side. It eX- tends to the curb and is placed about eight feet above the sidewalk. This, MT. Hoyt said, was in direct violation of the city ordinance and the carrier should be removed immediately. The carrier was furnished with two long hooks. the shortest of which would hang from the rail in such a position as to strike the passer-by in the eye; the longer one would catch him under the belt, the commissioner explained, as he illustrated his remarks by 0 cou- pie of hooks he had with him.
 Commissioner Hoyt said that the committee had put up this meat carrier in defiance of the committee, and that it should be removed immediately. He then moved to instruct Superintendent of Streets Ives to notify the company to remove tho carrier within twenty four hours, and to take legal steps to procure it's removal if the order was not obeyed.
 Commissioner McGann did not think that the board should act hastily. There were many violations of the sidewalk law. Only a short time ago the Young Mems Republican club had violated the sidewalk ordinance by placing a cellar door beyond the build ing line. It would be best, Commission CT McGann thought, that the matter should be referred to the city attorney
 Commissioner Hoyt said two wrongs never made right and that he did not propose to allow his vote to violate any city ordinance.
 Commissioner Kegelmeyer said that if these things were being done a halt should be called and it might as we'll begin now as at any other time. The matter was finally disposed of by making it the order for a special meeting tomorrow evening"
