A Bit Of Pleasantly.

In the report Of Monday nights
council proceedings, 1t will be noticed
that some criticism appears, but in JUS
tice to that body, We desire to say
that the article is intended to call at
tentIon to the fact that no business
other than that mentioned in the call
for special meeting could be consld-
cred, and not as censure for anything
they did or failed to do. The special
meeting was called for the purpose of
street paving, but when the meeting
opened, the chairman of the street
committee stated that his committee
was working diligently upon its report
and would have it ready by Friday
night. This was satisfactory to the
council and they very properly post
poned further consideration Of that
subject until Friday night. As some
other matters had been presented to
the council, they deciced TO take them
up and dispose Of them, by passing an
amendment to the call. Something,
we believe, they couldno do, II par
liamentary rules are to be observed.
The question of sewer pipe on Lee
street and the pump matter on Clark
street we're not properly before the
council and therefore no action was
taken and no record made of them.
