COUNCIL nolNas.

The meeting Of Council Tuesday eyty
ing was enlivened By a veto, the first,
believe, OF the year. The Mayor states n
objections to the New street and Smallwod|
Place ordinance as follows:
First think the grade on New stirred
and Slnallwood Place should be altered
SO as to make more grade on New stre]
and less on Snlallwood Place, thereby givil|
better drainage.
Second--An ordinance should be passe|
covering all the streets in that local. a
namely, the street leading from Delaw
street, along the County property, to
street back of the Delaware street props
ties, thence along said back street (whiu
should be given nane) to Wood stree.
New street and Smallwood Place. Each 4
these streets depend on the other for dTai,
age, hence grade for all should be adoptst
at one time.
tsThird--It will save the city from $sl
to $50 to pass an ordinance covering all thl
streets named, instead Of making two ordl
nanees.
