A communication was read from the
commissioners for the opening OF an al

one week for investigation.
The regular report of the manager Of
the free labor bureau was received and
filed.
Councilman Toll moved that the city
engineer be instructed to present an

street be roaded up sufficiently to over
come the nuisance row existing in said
roadway by being washed out and cut
up into ruts, the work to be performed
under the supervision of the superin
terdent of streets. and to be paid for out
of the Rosedale annex fund. Adopted.
Councilman Hutchisop moved that
the order of January 4th, directing the
street superintendent to supervise the
sweeping of Also street be changed so
as to read that the matter of the sweep
ing of Also street. from Alameda street
to the river, shall be under the super
vision of the health department.
This motion gave rise to considerable
discussion. The portion of the street re-
ferred to is maca0amized with porphyry
rock, and the cleaning Of the same has
always caused trouble. 1t has always
been claimed that it could not be swept
by the street sweepers. as are the as
phalt and block pavements, for the rea-
son that the material would be swept
away During the administration of
Councilman Savage he secured the pas
sage of an order directing that it be
swept by the street department by hand,
and Councilman Hutchison secured the
passage of a similar order when he came
never beer complied with, in fact. both
the health and street departments dis
claim any knowledge of IL, and the work
has never been done. After debate, the
matter was referred to the board of pub
lie works.
The draft of q new ordinance amend
ing section SO of the building ordinance
was presented by Councilman Hutchi-
son and referred TO the fire commission
rHba ord 4, n r-.Oa relpt tee tn the grant
ing of permits for the erection of build
ings for certain busin eslses outside Of
the limits of fire district No J. and pro-
vides that the frontage OF persons con-
ducting similar businesses in the block
for which a permit is asked shall not
be courted against granting new per-
mits for the same class Of business. or
in other words, preventing those who
have already established themselves
from keeping out possible competition
nd pei'petuating a monopoly.
The draft OF the ordinance providing
for the calling of an elections on the is
suance of $27O.O00 refunding bonds was
presented by the city attorney.
: AS this was the principal business
for which the meeting was held. and 1t
was desirable. in the interest of economy,
to have the election held as soon as pos
sible, Courcilmen Blanchard and Hutch
ison were appointed to interview the
mayor to see whether the mayor had
any objections to signing the ordinance
at once. in order to fix the date as early
rs possible.
The gentlemen returned with a mes
sage that the mayor would sign the
ordinance as soon as 1t reached him.
The date was then fixed April 10th,
and TIE ordinance was adopted by a
unanimous vote under suspension of the
rules. The ordinance likewise fixes the
voting places and names the officers
of election.
After the reading of the usual petit
tions, which were referred to the proper
committees, the council adjourned to
