resolution prohibiting the sprlnklang 5,,f Or
| throwing of water on streets paved with
bitumen. The reason given was that the
streets so paved were made slippery Dy
being sprinkled and rendered dangerous
for horses. The resolution was passed
Something of breeze was created by
an objection offered by supervisor Ter. Pera
called for some time ago for furnishing
the Hall of Justice. In support OF ms
objection he stated that in his opinion
the specifications prepared by the CITY
architect were not so drawn as 10 per
NIT the city reaping any advantage from
the competition of bidders he aIs9
for in the furnished specifications were
more properly chargeable to the build
ing account He asked that the opening
of the bids be postponed for one week IN
order to give members who wished TO 90
so an opportunity to investigate the mat
ter and ascertain the facts; A motion 70
this effect was carried, Aigeltinger, At
fridge, Holland and Kalben voting no.
The follow. ng resolution by supervisor
Perrault was on motion OF Phelps l29 IN m

the proper time for the consideration OF
such a proposition was when some DELI
mite proposition was properly before the
board:
Resolved, That this board pledges itself not
to accept the surrender of any railroad fran
chise during it's term of office, so that as con-
templated under the provisions of the new
cbarter The question Of the surrender of or the
granting of any franchise shall in the pubic
interests be governed and controlled by the pro-
visions of said charter, which charter takes
effect on the first Monday after the first day
of January, 1900.
Supervisor Collins introduced a resolu-
ton permitting the proprietors OF courS-
ing parks within the city limits to sell
pools on dog races. On motion OF Per-
rault it was referred to the City ana
that official examine the resolution ana
see if its provisions would nullify in any

nance recently passed and which had the
effect of closing the Ingleside track.
