had sat down on it, He was afraid

dangerous buildings. The council

on The streets that is unnecessary at
this time OF the year 1t is wrong
that the city should go OG spending
so much money when its financial
condition is such as it is.
Aid. Himmelman said that he was
glad to hear the alderman talk this
way. Some time ago Aid. Bradley
was opposed TO cutting down electric
light prices, which would have cut
the city's expense down $1,000 to

cavation, and asked for an opinion as
to the city's liability.
City Attorney Pau said that if the

the city would be liable.

tion, to bring it before the council.

had been told by the city engineer

put up, and that the city had take n
due precautions, as It could prove.

not drive through, and the gentle
man who was with hum got out or
wanted to. In driving across, the
horse stumbled, and in trying to get
up, fell into the ditch. Straps were
put around the horse and it was pull
ed out, which was enough to kill any
horse. The fact thaI the limitation
of time had passed was not taken in.
to consideration by the committee.
