cations to govern the macadam paving of
the boulevards and paseos of the city. The
question of suitable rooms in which the

quested to meet with it next Wednesday
and consider the question. The body has
been using the office and hall of the board
of public works for some time, but owing
tc the crowded condition there, other quar-
ters will be secured at the earliest date
possible
Alderman Wolf of the lower house. was
present and urged the board to comply
with the request of the city council that it
pay its laborers s1.15 per day, instead of
s1.50, as at present. Owing to the absence
of some of its members. it was voted to de-
lay consideration of the request until full
board was present.
As objection was made to the former
rules and regulations prepared for the gov.
ernment and preservation of the parks and
boulevards n new set of rules were pre-
pared, and the council will be requested to
enact the same into an ordinance at the
next session.

common purpose and a combination of Ia
Dor and influence would be of benefit to all.
All of the associations have been laboring
to awaken interest among the people of the
