Some Important Matters to Be Consid-

Some important Matters TO Be Consid-
cred at Tonight's Meeting.
At the meeting OF the Common Council
this evening, 1t 10 very probable that the
committee on city property will report
upon the resolution TO ft up tramps'
quarters on the Eddy street property pur-
chased of ex-Alderman Little. This
matter has received . good deal of atten-
lion and there Is q pretty general opinion
that some provision ought to be made
for lodging tramps. The committee on
city property has been 10 favor OF lifting
mp buildings on the lot on Eddy street,
but 1t 10 believed that the entire poor
department should bc located there, but,
1t 10 understood that Overseer Of the Poo
Cummings has been greatly opposed to
any such plan.
The real stumbling block 10 the ques-
ton Of money to at up the buildings
needed. The public buildings depart
mont wanna o16yo0o additional to carry on
year. The City Council has just ordered
alterations at the Sixth police station,
the cost Of which Is taken ont Of the reg
ala appropriation, and there 10 always
need of money for putting school build
ings in shape during the summer vaca-
ton. Some OF the mbers interested In
the tramp accommodation plan, however,
think they can procure the needed funds,
by using the $i6, 1000 In the city debt fund
for the purpose.
BY ordinance money derived from the
sale of property IL to 60 toward the pay
ment OF the city debt, and there II no
doubt that the proposition to use this
money will meet with vigorous opposi-
tion.
