WILL BE PRESENTED To COUNCIL
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

rum-AIderman Graham Was Pre-
vented From Attending-AIder
Dixon Had Two Ordinances Ready.
One Relates to the City Garbage
and the other Calls for Paving n
Portion of East Bolton Street.-The.
saussy Was on Hand to Represent
Mr.. Mcintyre.
There was no quorum yesterday after
noon for a meeting of the City Council.
The Mayor and several OF the Aldermen
are out of the city. Alderman Tiedemsn is
acting as Mayor, and his f41eumbency OF the
position removes one from what m ght be
the list of available Aldermen to make
up a quorum. Alderman Graham is the
only Alderman in the city, who was not
present for the meeting, but some engage
ment made it impossible for him TO at
tend. After the Aldermen had waited for
an hour and a half, it was agreed to post
pone the meeting until tomorrow after
noon at o'clock.
Two ordinances were to have come be-
fore the meeting. They were filed with
the clerk of Council and will be brought
up at the next meeting. Both were sub
mitted by Alderman Dixon, chairman of
the Streets and Lanes Committee.
One of the ordinances is to amend the
present ordinance regarding garbage. AL
derman Dixon proposes to have residents
see that a barrel is kept for combustible
stuff and another for non combustible.
both of which are to be placed outside the
gates of premises, in the lanes, by
o'clock in the morning. The scavenger
men are then 10 take up the garbage,
leaving the barrels, which will be placed
inside the gates again to receive another
days accumulation of refuse.
Many promises have TO entrances from
lanes. Provision is made for them. In
such cases barrels must be set upon the
outer edge of the sidewalk by the hour
named above. After the visit of the scav-
enger wagons, the barrels must again be
placed In the yards.
1t is said the ordinance will pass. The
present system of leaving the garbage in
the yards has not given satisfaction. The
chairman of the Streets and Lanes Com
mittee and the director of the public
rangement will be as prescribed in the
amendment proposed The division of the
combuStible and non-tOmbusuble stuff has
not been made regularly, though the
greatest objection has been on account of
difficulty the drivers have found in getting
through the gates, which are often fas-
tened.
The work of the scavenger department
win be greatly facilitated if the amend
ment passes. Probably the only kicks will
be from the servants, as putting the bar
rels in the lanes will mean a little more
work than now falls to their lot. Resi-
dents who have garbage receptacles al
ready established at the rear of their
premises so that they can be emptied
from the lanes, will not necessarily have
to alter their arrangements, as that is
just what is desired.
The other ordinance calls for paving a
portion of Bolton street with Augusta
gravel. A roadway, 80 feet wide. from the
west side of East Broad street to the
tracks OF the Plant System is to be paved.
The work will be done by the director of
passes.
Mr.. ]. r. Saussy Jr., was at the Ex-
change to represent Mr.. ]. w. Mcintyre
in the event a meeting were held. He was
ready to show that the charge of the out
house on the premises of No. 208 Brough-
/ ton street, east, belonging to Mr.. Mcintyre
is not tenabe. MI Saussy seems conf
dent that the property will not be affect
by the complaint. 1t is probable that he
will gain a hearing tomorrow.
