Utica, N. Y, Dec 19.-When j. H.

Your friend. LEROY W. INDIAN. -

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Lively Debate Over the Lighting
Proposition.

The feature of last nights city coun-
ell meeting was the discussion of the
contract for lighting the city, proposed
by the Union Light & Power company,
and the final action on their proposition.
Pingree was for making the contract
for one year, rather than two, but his
amendment to that effect failed to
pass, the vote standing five to five. On
the question of accepting the company's
proposition, the vote stood six for and
four against. Ayes-Ash. Browning,
Cullen, Jones, Williams and Wooley.
Nays-Brewer, Jenkins, Pingree and
Shaw. Unless the action is vetoed by
the mayor, the contract will be put in
force at once. 1t is, in effect, re-
newal of the present contract.
Claims amounting to S421.S3 were al
lowed.
On recommendation, the petition of
Thomas Heller for rebate on his license
was denied.
The street committee reported ad-
Versely on the petition of Thomas ct al.
for grading. Similar report made on
petition for grading on Jackson avenue,
adopted.
The city treasurer applied for $495O
remuneration for extra work on sewer
assessments. Referred.
A. Allen and twenty-eight others
asked for a repeal of license ordinance
effecting drayage business. Referred.
II. C. Wardley and thirty others
asked that F. j. Henderson, be allowed
to construct a greenhouse on city hall
square, to have 100 feet front on Twen-
ty-fifth street, for ten years. unless
space should be needed in the mean
time for permanent structures, Hen
dershot to pay city in buds, bulbs, ETC..
sufficient to supply city parks. Re
ferred.
The ordinance concerning trespass on
railway property came UP. Pingree led
an opposition, on grounds that it is the
duty of roads to protect their property
by fences, etc, and, further. that in
case the city legislated on this mat
ter it would be liable for damages in
cases where accidents should happen.
Recommitted.
The police committee was empowered
to employ someone to check up time
street lamps are burning, it being
claimed that many of them are out a
good portion of the time. The-council
voted empowering the mayor to ar
range for a conference between the
mayor, city attorney and members of
the council with William Adamson,
representing the waterworks company,
at his request. 1t has in view the
settling of pending litigation.
Payrolls, $3.50, were allowed.
1t was ordered that the telephone
company be formally notified to pay
its license due for due years past.
