A Large Number of Remonstrances
That Were without
Any Effect.

est meetings on record yesterday. The ses-
sion was a long one, and what the board
didn't do. In the way of street and sidewalk
matters, wasn't worth doing. There was a
number of people on hand TO help the board
along and keep things keyed up to the pace
set out at the start. Those interested par
ties who found 1t impossible to be present
at the meeting dropped in at some oppor-
tune time during the day and told how
sorry they were that they couldn't have
come around sooner. There were all kinds
of visitors, from the little girl, who said
that her mother didn't want no sidewalk
on Sanders street." to the wrathful gentle
man. who would be id If he could see
what in thunder the city meant by paving
the sidewalks Of T~wenty-frst street at this
stage of the game" There was a number
of circumstances in regard to the Twenty
frst-street improvement, and indignant pro-
tests were also plentiful in reference to the

ruled them all. The boards business in de-
