The fire chiefs reported provoked
, ONE discussion. Mr.. Badger saidthat he
did not know the terms of the contract
with the water company, but he
thought that all the plugs should be
capable of engine connection.
The report was referred to the fire
and water committee after Mr.. Cliff
ford had suggested that If the water
company pressed their bill for supply
ing water for the sprinklers it would
be good idea to cut of all plugs not
u p to contract.
The payment of judges and clerks at
the recent election was allowed at the
rate of $40 for the Fourth ward. Ben
Catlin drew 81 for clerking in the
Fourth which caused Mr.. Clifford to
make side remark.

Mr.. Sheldon, asking for permission to
widen the sidewalk two feet on FL
Plaza aud to raise the curb several

mediate vicinity of the Sheldon build
ing. The city was also asked
to establish and maintain a small park,
with shades trees, in the center OF the
triangular space to the west of the
building, fronting the HERALD office.
H. he han h0
aldermen put their heads together and
considered the matter. Mr.. Clifford
said the alley leading north from 81
Ryan's should not be closed by extend
ing the sidewalk and Mr.. WhitmOre
remarked that the streets belonged to
the people and should not be given
away to private parties.
Judge Buckler explained that it was
the intention of Mr.. Sheldon to e.
tablish q beautiful promenade on the
west side of the building with shade
trees and broad sidewalk with an
ornamental railing.
On motion of Alderman Clifford the
petition wass re ferred to the street
maintenance committee, the city en-
gineer and the city attorney.
NUMBERING RESIDENCES.
Alderman Badger arose to say that
the chief of police should be instructed
to see that all persons numbered their
residences In conformity with the
recent order to have street signs ard
houses mum bered for the benefit of the
post Office department.. The chief was
instrcted to see that the ordinance WAS
complied with in 30 days.
"Ssy Judge" remarked Mr.. Stew
art, "the sidewalk up there on st. Louis
street was in bad condition this
morning, but 1 don't know how 1t Is
this evening"
Mr. Wales said he would see that it
