sent their positions for the consdera-
tion of Council
Mr.. Marsch's motion that the Coun-
ell meet in adjourned session at 7

ferent firms and had gotten a quota

Mr.. Eveleigh stated that the Bell
Telephone Co. had, in pursuance to
Councils orders, moved all their poles
with the exception of one, for the re-
moval of which the River Gas Co.'S
main was an obstruction. The Tele-
phoine company asked that the gas 81
company's line be moved one foot to
allow the former to make the removal

sidewalk for about 12 feet. On the 9TH
er hand the telephone company would
have to only move the pole several feet
to one side. Mr.. Lorentz's motion
that the City Clerk be authorized to
notify the River Gas Co. to move their
line at the expense of the Bell Tele-
ephone Co. was lost, Messrs. Cutter,
