To Pine a Zania

The zanja committee reported recon-
mendinA the adoption of the following reso
luton, which was accordingly passed.
In the matter of specifications prepared by
the city engineer for the piping of Zanja No
from Fourth street to Palmetto street,
your committee would report that after in
vestigation we find that the cost Of con-
structing same will approximate $500. 1t
having been represented to this committee
that the property owners on Seaton street,
along which street this zanja runs, are de-
siroua of improving the street, provided the
zanja is piped by the city, we therefore rec
ommend that the specifications proposed by
the engineer for the execution Of this work
be approved and the city clerk instructed
to advertise for bids as soon as the contract
is awarded for the improvement of Seaton

ALLEY NOT ABANDONED
ANOTHER SPECIAL SESSION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL
TUNNEL CONTRACTS AWARDED
Special Plea for the Brick Men Fails to
Arouse Response-Provision
for Branch Police Stations

At the special meeting OF the council held
yesterday afternoon another attempt was
made to secure the abandonment OF proceed
ings for the opening of the alley in the block
bounded by Fourth and Fifth streets, Hill
and Broadway. The matter was the first
order of business and was taken up upon
the petition of James Moses, one of the in
terested proprty owners, who last week fled
petition asking that proceedings be stopped
and the alley abandoned. No sooner had
the petition been read than Mr. Toll moved
that it be denied and secured a second from
Mr.. Ashman.
This left the question open for discussion
and John A. Pirtle appeared before the
council, saying that he had been requested
to do so by several interested parties, and
had consented, although he had held himself
aloof from the discussion heretofore. He
thought that abandonment of the present
proceedings was the quickest way out of the
dilemma, that if allowed to the property
owners would fix the matter up among
themselves and that the result desired-that
OF getting an alley through the block
would in this way be finally attained, while
Il the present proceedings were pressed there
could be but one ending-the courts.
w. C. Petchner spoke for the other side
and reminded the council that abandonment
would have but one effect, that of throwing
matters back six or eight months, as his
clients were determined to have an alley
that they might have access to their prop
erty, and if abandoned another petition
would Immediately be prepared and present
I'd, leaving the whole matter to be threshed
nver again. Henry Martz spoke in substan-
tiation of Mr.. Petchner's statements, say
Ing that the proper thing to do was to keep
the alley proceedings where they are now
and to make any changes or corrections nec-
essary. Do not take step backward but
keep externally pressing toward the object
to be attained.
Upon roll call the motion had close call,
the petition being denied by vote OF 5 to 4.
This leaves the alley question to be fought
out before the incoming council.

FIREBUG AT WORK
A Would-Be Incendiary Makes Four
Futile Attempts at Arson

Within the past two days four separate
attempts have been made 10 burn the barns
of the Van and Storage company, at 1926 East
Fourth street. On Wednesday three at
tempts were made, one at II a. M, another
at l2:45 and the third at about o'clock. In
each case the fire was discovered in differ
ent place. A stranger was seen loafng
about the barn each time shortly before the
blaze was discovered. Upon two occasions
the fire was extinguished without calling
upon the department.; the third time chem
ical stream did the work.
Yesterday, however, the incendiary came
nearer accomplishing his purpose. At Up.
IN. an alarm came in from boxes 175 and 172
for blaze in the barn, which had gained
such headway that about $500 damage was
done before it was extinguished. As on the
Gay previous the mysterious stranger was
seen shortly before the fire broke out, and
the police are now upon the track of the fire
fiend.

about one-third of its system working under

but delay had been experienced through
non-receipt of special size cables ordered as
long ago as last February. Besides this his
company was making complete change from
an alternating to direct current, which en-
tailed much extra work.
So effective was Mr.. Parker's explanation
that without further discussion his desire

BOILER INSPECTOR RESIGNS
Hereafter the Work Of the Office Will
Be Done by One Man

In a communication which is here giveI
In full. Boiler Inspector Dahl presented hi.
saying:
About sixteen months ago, at the
solicitation of number of operators and
owners of steam plants in this city, l ac-
cepted the position of boiler inspector, it
being their request that put the Of
fee on systematic basis, in order to give
thorough and efficient work as required
by ordinance. The office now is so ar
ranged as to render effective service to
the city, and we can safely say that we
have as thorough a system of inspec-
tfons of steam boilers as any city in the
United States.
Owing to the fact that number Of
steam boilers are idle at the present time
and others have been removed from the
city, as will appear from my annual re-
port, and, recognizing the fact that there
will not be sufficient work to employ two
inspectors, particularly after January l,
1890, when more plantsare likely to shut
down, and believing that no one should
accept pay unless there is an opportunity
to render full equivalent in service, l
now most respectfully tender you my
resignation as city boiler inspector, to
take effect January l, 1890, or as soon
thereafter as may seem to you nest ex-
pedient for the best interests of the city.
desire also at this time to express my
appreciation Of my worthy colleague, J.
G. Paterson, the present deputy city
boiler inspector, who was appointed at
the same time that was. His work has
very materially aided me in accomplish
ing what has been done. Knowing the
requirements of the office and Mr.. Pat
erson's ability, heartily commend him
to You for the position of boiler in
spector.
Upon motion of Mr.. Baker the resigna
lion was accepted and the city attorney in
structed to prepare an ordinance reducing
the force of the office to- one inspector, whose
salary is to be 800 per month. This will b.
passed at the next meeting, and saving
thereby be effected to the city through ths
advice of retiring official.
