FATE Of THE CLAIMS
AS Different Before the Committee
as Their Sources.

The committee on claims of the board Of
aldermen yesterday approved the bill of the
American Development company for $3,073. 90,
for gasoline lighting for December, which
was laid over at the last meeting of the COM
mittee the statement of Aid Lindahl that
there were large number OF lamps in the
First ward which were not lighted and that
the board of public works gave no relief
when complaints were made. President Cope
land, of the board of public works, appeared
before the committee yesterday and denied
the correctness of the statement made by Aid.
Lindahl. The board Mr.. Copeland said, had
investigated and attended to all complaints
made and called the contractors before them
and locked the company for lamps that did
not burn the requisite number of hours.
Under these circumstances he was Of the opin-
Ion that the alderman from the First ward
had been misquOted in the papers. Aid. Lin
dahl said he had not been misquoted and
that when a lamp had been unlighted for
six months and the company had not been
locked it was time to take some action.
Representatives Of the American Development
company appeared before the committee and
promised that in the future there would be
no ground for complaint. The bill was &C
cordingly allowed.
The committee also passed the gas bills
for the market house for November and De-
cember the market master reporting that the
supply Of gas to tenants of the building had
been shut off and the bills in the future would
naturally be much less.
The claim of Charles Sandeen for SO, 4279S,
alleged to be due him on a contract for the
grading of Lawson street in 1889, re-
ferred to the corporation attorney. Sandeen
claims that, under a law passed by the last
legislature, the council has the right to set
tie his claim.
Three preliminary orders for the paving
of streets were disposed of in one, two three
order by the board of public works yesterday.
In each case the board will report adversely
on the Improvement, for the reason that a
majority Of the property owners are opposed
to Il.
In the paving of Kent street, between Ash
land and Selby avenues four of the ten
owners appeared and protested against paw
ing. and only one favored it.
The paving of Waucouta street. between
Third and Eighth streets was objected to by
twelve of the twentythree owners along the
line of the Improvement.
Seventeen of the % owners Of property on
Eighth street, between Jackson street and
Broadway, objected to the paving Of Eighth
street between the points mentioned.
The board confirmed the assessment for the
Gaultier street sewer system. The cost of
the sewer was SIS, 139. 10, of which amount the
city paid 7,299.4O and the remaining $500 was
assessed on the property benefited.

is to put a string around tooth and pull
it; but dental forceps carried on deep

COPPER RIVER ROUTE.
Survey of 1t Determined Upon by

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. Acting
Secretary Metklejohn is arranging tc
send military expedition up the Cop
per river route in Alaska to map out
the topography of the country and final
ly establish the value of this route to
the Klondike gold fields. War depart
ment reports indicate that this may
turn out to be the most feasible Of the
winter routes and that is one reason
for sending the expedition now. The
treasury department has been calico
upon to transport the twenty-five meT
who will compose the expedition, but
has reported that it has no available
revenue cutter affording the necessary
accommodations, so the party probably
will be sent north on one of the regular
merchant steamers.
