Police bills for lOO
Horace F. Nixon, Esq presented lette
from the trolley company, in which they
agreed to water the track and three feet OF
either side OF same, the city TO furnish tht
water. The proposition was accepted, an6
the use of water granted under direction o
the Water committee.
When the proposition of the trolley com
pany was under consideration. Mr. Leeds
said after the Macadam road was completed
the city should purchase team of horses
and sprinkler, and assume entire charge o.
Broad street. The horses, he said, could bs
kept in the fire house, and perform fire
duty, as well as scraplDg lateral streets
and general city work. Eighteen hundred
dollars were expended in general work or
the streets last year-a large portion Of
which went on Broad street. Further
systematic watering of the street would
conduce not only to the comfort of all the
people, but be an economy in the use Of
water.
On motion of Mr. BuTkett the matter o.
the purchase of team and sprinkler was
referred TO the Street and Fire committees
to report at the next meeting.
Mr.. Best reported that the extension OIL
water main on North Broad street was moi
continued to the Sharp property because il
would not pay ten per cent.
CouociI adjourned to meet at the call Of
the President to approve bond of the city
street contractor and execute the contract
A Veto.
Mayor Samuel H. Lsdd has vetoed the
ordinance which was passed by Council on
the 18Th inst. entitled AN Ordinance ioI
grading, curbing and paving of side walks
and cutters on Broad street from the
junction of Salem and Msntua avenues to
Red Bank avenue.
His Honor's message to Council has not
yet been made public, but we are unable to
state the substance Of his objections. They
are four in number, First, That the change
of the height of the curb from twelve to
eight inches, will permit fall of only one
third of an inch to the foot from the crown
of the road to The gutter, which is insult
Gent Second, That the changes of grade
at the Northern and Southern ends of the
street are too radical, and will involve in
jury aud expense to property owners out Of
proportion to benefits. Third, Inequality
of expense. Properties which have been
curbed and guttered sre made to bear this
expense equally with those that have not
been curbed or guttered, whereas dis.
tinction should be made and a proportion
of the expense of the proposed cutters be
borne directly by properties not yet thus
Fourth, That there is lack OF
harmony in backing up $1,000 roadway
with $4,000 cutters.
1t is likely that President Cloud will
avail himself of the special adjournment
and convene Council in special SESSION to
consider the objections of His Honor.
