An ordinance relating 20 the ob-
structing OF streets with building
materials was read for the third
time and passed until next meet
ing for the inclusion Of amend
ments.
An ordinance relating to the es-
tablishment Of street corners, nam
ing streets and numbering houses,
was read and referred to the com
mittee on ordinances TO report at
next meeting.
Al ordinance providing for the
investigation Of fires, etc, was
passed TO a second reading.
A general discussion of cemetery
affairs followed, during which Mr..
Noble suggested that in addition to
the cemetery committee composed
Of aldermen. there should be a
committee. or rather three trustees,
appointed or elected, 10 have su-
pervisory authority in all matters
relating 10 affairs at the cemetery
grounds.
M. Cruce advanced motion
which met the approval of the
council, that the ordinance com
mittee be instructed to draft
amendments to the present ceme-
terry ordinance covering all matters
pertaining to the cemete-y, and
that IN the performance Of their
duties they shall request the assist
ance OF j. w. Golledge, president
OF the Cemetery Association, and
other members Of that organiza-
ton, in order that the work may
be harmonious 70 all concerned.
Mr. Best, Of the street and alley
committee, made an urgent appeal
for the opening Of new crossings
at the railroad in the north part of
the city, ard set forth plainly
their needs. He said schools
would open very soon, and the
children had no street crossing 70
go with safety. Others spoke on
the same question.
Mr.. Pennington moved that the
city attorney notify the agent for
the railroad company TO put in one
crossing or Gait street. and that
the same be begun in 10 days.
Failure OF railroad company TO do
this within that time would render
the street commissioner justifable
in doing the work OF grading the
crossil e. when the city would tax
the expenses attached thereto
against the railroad company.
Permission mas teen granted the
city by the railroad company TO DO
work on their right-of- way for the
crossing of streets, therefore the
city wopld not be liable for tres
pass.
A protest was heard from some
BARRIERS that they, as mechanics, .
should be exempt from the pay
ment of an occupation tax as other
mechanics. Being referred to the
city attorney, Mr.. Graham said:
BARRIERS are considered profes
sional men. same as lawyers and
doctors, and are not mechanics.

an ordinance yet in force the street
sprinkler man was subject TO an

of the council took the same view
of il, and a motion carried which
exempted street sprinklers from
occupation tax for the present
year

Stone Dankln. for Barns.

In banking up against the walls of
basemen; barns, and especially in build
ing up passageway to the entrance,
there is always strong temptation to
use stones piled in loosely as a basis,
where stones are over plentiful on the
farm. Yet this usually proves n mis-
take. Rats will invariably effect a
lodgementamong such stones. and they
will in time work through into the barn
basement. besides, rains will wash dir,
among the stones. and it will require
constant attention every year TO keep
the passage way so that loaded wagons
can be driven over it.
