and Alderman Cortes' motion prevailing
the Mayor named on the committee Alder
men Sonnen. Heinze. Woolford, Aubertiu
and Bennett
BY Alderman Mueiler--A motion THAT
the engineer prepare plans and specifica-
tons for paving Preston avenue from
the Preston avenue bridge to Washington
street Carried.
engineer prepare plans and specifications
for paving Engelke street from Buffalo
to Sampson.
Alderman Cortes wanted to know what
was the sense in Offering these motions
when the aldermen know very well that
there is no money with which to do the
work. He thought they should DO ruled
out OF order.
Alderman Tuffly said that while he un-
derstood that the motions did not con-
template the doing OF the work yet every
set Of plans prepared in the city en-
gineer's office cost the city In clerical work
about $50, and he saw no sense In putting
the city to this expense.
Alderman Aubertin saw no reason why
the aldermen should not be permitted to
humor their constituents. even whether
any work was ever done or not
Alderman Halverton said II would take
at least s200o.OOO 20 do all the work that
was proposed by the different aldermen.
He saw no sense in the Offering of these
motions simply for buncombe. He would
have protested against II long ago but
he did not know until recently that Il
cost the city any extra money TO prepare
these specifications. He thought that this
was part of the work of the engineers
office TO be performed without extra cost
TO the city. He estimated that enough
plans had been prepared for bridges. Gull
verts, pavements, etc, TO keep the city
busy for the next FIVE years
Alderman Aubertin suggested that these
plans. once prepared. would keep. and they
would be ready for use whenever the city
was in position to do the work
The mayor said he did not regard these
| motions as out OF order. or that .he city
was overstocked with plans for work that
was not necessary. and that his informa.
tion was that the preparation Of these
plans cost only about SIS, or $40, instead
Of $50 as asserted.
The motion of Alderman Hcinze for
plans for paving Engclke street was then
carried.

Committee to Recommend Plan for Refund

WEEKLY PAYMENT ORDINANCE ADOPTED
BIDS Opened for the Construction OF
a Wooden bridge over White
Oak bayou.

All the aldermen were present at yes
terdays meeting OF the city council ex-
rept Messrs. Dickson and Rosenthal.
The proceedings moved along smoothly
enough until one alderman after another
began introducing motions to preface
plans for building bridges and making
other ward Improvements here and there.
when Alderman Cortes thought It was
time to call n halt In thus proposing to
do a lot OF work that the aldermen knew
full well the city was not In a position
TO do He declared that there was no
necessity for trying to throw sand in the
eyes of the people BY making them lot
of promises that must necessarily fall
short OF fulhllment. He was seconded In
this by Aldermen fluffy and Halverton,
who deprecated the piling up of work In
the engineers office that the aldermen
knew full well could not be done
~
The ordinance providing for the pay
by the week of all day laoorers en-
ployed by the city was passed, and
committee was appointed to devise a plan
for refunding paving assessments paid out
by properly owners under the law thai
had since been declared unconstitutional
Both Of these were recommendations in
7luded in the mayor message.
