BEFORE THE COUNCIL
WATER COMPANY SWITCH QUESTION
NOT PASSED UPON.
waste Paper Box Contract Not Re-
ceived-Matters Before the
board of Works.

An effort was made by many OF the coun-
cilmen at last nights meeting TO rush an
ordinance through in an endeavor to grant
the Indianapolis Water Company per,nis-
sion to lay a switch across the Crav lords
vile road. so as to facilitate the work on
improvements being made at the water
works pumping station. Nearly all Of the
councimen visited the place Sunday after
noon, but those who did not make the trip
objected TO suspending the rules and pass
ing the ordinance the same night Ii was in
troduced. S. V. Perrott was the principal
opponent Of the plan, and as It takes a
unanimous consent to suspend the rules the
ordinance will have to go over until the
next meeting of the Council.
The water company is making improve
ments at its pumping station. and has
graded for a switch. 1t wanted to secure
permission to cross the road, and an ordi-
nance was prepared, acted upon favorably
by the committee last night, and Council
man Daller mover that the rules be sus-
pended. but then the objection was raised.
The ordinance granting the Union Rail-
way Company permission to maintain
switches in the northeastern part of the
city was passed Councilman Negieys
ordinance providing a penalty for property
owners failing to clean sidewalks after dirt
and distractions have been placed upon
them was also passed. Mr.. Higgins called
up for reconsideration the ordinance grant
ing the Parry Manufacturing Company per-
mission to maintain a switch at it's factory,
which was passed at the last Council meet
ing. Mr.. Megrew moved that Mr.. Higginss
motion be tabled, which was carried by a
vote of Is to 5.
The contract made by the Board of Pub
lie Works with the Indianapolis Clean
Street Company to maintain waste paper
boxes throughout the city was not received
by the Council for ratification.
After the Council meeting adjourned a
majority of the members accepted an invi-
tation from the members of the Board Of
Trade to attend an informal reception.
