Mr.. Trimyer asked if So, 900 would ex
haust the whole amount received from
the direct tax refund.
Mr.. Smith replied that the whole was
So .0SS.
Mr.. G. N. Moore thought the $4,000
should be divided among all the four
wards.
Mr.. Uhler also urged that all the
wards should participate In this fund.
Mr.. Snowden (Mr. Harrison in the
cbair) asked if this $4,000 had not been
already expended. Was it still in the
treasury?
Mr.. Smith said it was now in the
treasury.
Mr.. Snowden had understood differ
emily from the financial officers and
Mr.. Uhler said as matter OF fact the
money had been used for city purposes.
Mr.. Smith said he had been under
the impression that the money had not
been spent.
Mr.. Snowden suggested that if the
money is not divided among the wards
it be used to pay the city's portion of
the King street work. He said he
thought this was the idea OF the COM
mittee on streets and if they did not
use this money for the King street i'm
provement it would be long time be.
fore such Improvement would be made,
He also said that he thought it would
be- best to begin the improvements
from King, instead of from Queen,
street when the Washington street re-
paving was commenced.
During the debate Mr.. Uhler stated
that S1,700 had already been spent on
street improvements this year.
The subject was laid over.
The committee on streets having re-
ported adversely upon the proposal of
Mr.. Beach to use the So, 1000 in improv-
ing Princess street,
Mr.. Beach, in seconding the report,
said be was not welded to the idea of
using this money on Princess street.
Any other money would do for him.
He would at the next meeting intro
duce new resolution on the subject.
The proposal of the City Engineer to
appropriate 81, 900 for sewer on Royal
street from Duke to Wilkes streets, was
called up.
MIR. Snowden asked if The owners of
real estate on that street had made any
application for sewer.
Mr.. Smith replied that he knew of
none.
Mr.. Snowden said that when the
saver was laid on Fairfax and Prince
streets the owners of real estate paid in
a considerable sum of money as sewer
tapping tax.
The subject was laid over.
Mr.. Smith introduced an ordnance
authorizing the payment by the city of
onerthird of the cost Ct new sidewalks,
cutters and curbs on streets.
Mr.. Uhler asked "Where is the
money to come from Do we recog-
nizs the fact that the city has already
borrowed $40, 900 this year and 5000
more will have to be borrowed p? If this
extravaganza is continued men would
not be willing to lend the city money
Already the Auditor announced the ex
haus!ion of the appropriations for
several classes of city work"

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Mr.. Dobie presented resolution pro.
viding for the construction of suitable
crossings on Fairfax street at its IT,
tersection with Wilkes and Gibbon.
II was at first suggested that the res.
olution be referred to the committee on
streets, but Mr.. Dobie said that the
City Engineer was at work now in that
neighborhood and could lay the cross.
ing at once, and the resolution was
passed.
Mr.. Smoot introduced resolution
requiring the Washington Southern
Railway Company to place a fagman
at the Intersection of Henry and Orc
noco streets.
Mr.. Hinken moved an amendment
providing for hagman at Queen

On motion of Mr.. Dobie the resolu.
ton was adopted.
Mr. Smoot offered resolution re-
calling from the committee on light the
report of Mr.. James Bsyne concerning
the affairs of the gas Office aud direct.
ing that the same be printed for the in.
formation OF the public.
MIR. Havener saw no reason for pub
fishing the report in full, as synopsis
was all that was necessary.
Mr.. Sweeny said there seemed to be
\ / L
report. In the first place it should
never have been referred to the COM
mittee on light. but Council should
have acted on it at once if it was neces-
sary to have it printed. He saw no ne
cessity of recalling the report from the
committee. The latter had had no
time to examine it, other business at
the last meeting having consumed so
much of the committees time. Besides
the substance of the report had been
published several times.
Mr.. Smoot said several people had
suggested to him that the report should
have been published for general infor-
nation.
Some further discussion followed,
and the resolution was withdrawn.
Several papers which had been acted
upon by the lower board were subse
queptly received and concurred in.
1t appearing that the Common Coun-
Gil had passed a resolution providing
for crossings at one of the points on
Fairfax street provided for by MIR.
Dobie's resolution, The action of this
board was rescinded and that of the
lower board concurred in. A resolu
ton providing for an appropriation of
$40 for a crossing at Wilkes street was
adopted.
Mr.. Beach at $50 o'clock appeared
in the chamber and announced tnat the
Common Council was through with
their business and ready to adjourn.
There was nothing on the table but
some papers which had come in from
