STREET WORK STOPPED. The ap-
preparation for street work ran out to-
day and the Mayor says, in an inter
view in reference to converting Council
in extra session, that "CouDcil should
have made provision for this difficulty
at its last regular meeting, and that its
failure to do so was some what remark
able. inasmuch as Mr.. Lawler, repre-
senting the finance committee, had Of
fered a resolution apprOpriating $500 for
the continuance of street work, and that
the immediate availability of that APP
Precipitation was defeated by Mr.. Smith,
the chairman of the committee which
the appropriation was designed to aid,
who had it referred back to the finance
committee, the very committee which
had, through Mr.. Lawler, recommend
ed it," Now, unless Council be con-
vened, nothing Can be done until Feb
rusry 18th, the date of Councils next
regular meeting, and in the meantime
ashes will remain on premises of citi-
zens, streets and alleys will not be
cleaned and the employees of the stree t
