AGAINST ARTIFICIAL STONE.
southsiders want Sidewalks to he of
Any Suitable Material.

petition from property owners of the
southern section was submitted TO Coun
Gil last night asking for modification of
the Krouskom sidewalk ordinance. so that
they will be given the right to put down
walks of any good and suitable material
The petition was referred to the commit
tee of the whole.
In view of the fact that the petitioners
ask for the privilege of being heard ana
the further fact there appears to he a
Eumber of reputed speakers among tho
signers, there promises to be an interest
ing conference with the new board. Kiclx
ing on what they feel are iusti6ah'o
grounds is not a new thing for the sontb-
siders, whose frequent united efforts ~ e.st
concessions from the last Council general
ly resulted In success. Both the Deo,,la -
Collinsville and of the southern sscfio,
have been represented in the civ Coun
ell by bodies Of tax payers after conces-
sions, but the turn-outs have dernonstrot
ed that the southsiders show up about es
well as any.
From the verbiage of the petition Z, an
pears the property owners desire 10 To-,
their sidewalks of brick or other s,litab,e
material. Inc krouskoft ordinance pro-
Vides for artificial stone, and also tives
the size Of the walks Much care -
given to the desires of those Interested IL,
the drafting of the ordinance. A hear;n,-
was given by Council 90 citizens wbo
expressed their preference about the So
of the walks, and suggested such chance
as they thought should be made. Wien
the ordinance passed, it was understood
it met the wishes Of a majority.
Alderman Krouskoff's object in desianat-
ing artificial stone was to secure mi
formity, which would add to the svp,raa-
try ana general appearance of the walks
If the ordinance is modified ACCORDING -
the petition the desired uniformity Nil,
not be secured Some of the propertv
owners will have stone. some asnbaiS
others brick, or whatever material mo-,
be considered suitable. Alderman Kroue.
koh's cherished hobby of city "u,hoe,

coed in bringing about the desired mo6ie
cations in the ordinance.

garty, who declined to leave unless ordered
to do so by Foreman Connolly. He was
not given orders to leave. but was per-
mitted by the foreman to 60 inasmuch

from the chief. The only charge against
Connolly is that he directed OLeary to

matter, and would announce his decision
to-day. The view he will take of ii is

had directed the entry made as it ap-
peared. Thirty-four years is a long time
