DUMP MUST co.
City Council Instructs the Health
Committee to Purchase a New
City Dumping Ground.
wBIER CHANGES HIS MIND
and the Northwestern Railway Company
Is Instructed That FIagman
Will be Sufficient.

The meeting of the City Council at
the City Hall Tuesday night was an
other exhibition of what City Councils
ought not to be. Little business of
Importance was transacted, but the
meeting was very interesting one
nevertheless.
The most important topic taken up
was the question of securing dump
ing ground for the city and at last the
City Council has acted to remove the
old dumping ground from the lake
shore, for the committee of health with
the Mayor added were given power to
purchase a new and better dumping
ground. This move will be one that
will delight all good people in the city
and it will be one that will be espec-
tally pleasing to the citizens OF the
lake shore.
Another matter of considerable inn
port was the settlement of the question
of gates across Main street at the
Crossing. of the Northwestern Rail
way. Gates will not be put up but
instead the railway company with the
permission OF Alderman Weief will
have a fagman to care for the cross
ing. The aldermen wcr> considerably
surprised at the change of front by the
alderman from the North side. A few
days ago he insisted that gates be
placed at the crossing and stated that
they should be put up by the city even
if they had to sue the company to get
the pay for them. However when
Alderman Smith moved that the COM
pany be instructed to put up gates or
that the crossing be declared a nuis-
ance, Aid. Weier moved that the reso-
luton be laid on the table and to the
table it went. This change of mind
on the part of the North-side aldermen
called one of the Aldermen to his feet
and he opined that minds changed
looking for favors. The aldermen
made no retort and didn't seem to con-
slider the remark worthy of notice.
While the council WIS discussing rail-
way the residents OF Rowland avenue
presented petition asking that the
moved and gates substituted. This
petition was granted and the Company
was ordered to put in gates at once.
Lentz & Funk presented a petition
to the council asking that the va1ca-
ton of their personal property be re-
duced from $3.50 to $1,475. The
matter was referred to the judiciary
committee.
The petition of Mrs. Ellen Barnes
protesting against the location of the
curb on Julius street was laid on the
table.
The claim of Theodore Wandreyka
for damages on account OF INJURIES re-
cciued at the time of the Beck explo-
sion was referred to the committee on
judiciary.
Alderman Caster to ok a shot at
Alderman Scho1ey but he had an invita-
ton to put the matter in writing. It
was as follows and was accepted by
the council for what it was worth:
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council:
''In reply to the insinuating re-
marks made by Aid. Scho1ey at the
last meeting, in regard to the Chair
man Of the Judiciary committee not
being worth row of pins, will state
that defy Aid. Scho1ey to show where
ever have been unwilling to do my
duty as Chairman of the Judiciary
committee.
To begin with, the Chairman of the
committee is powerless to
take any action OH matters until the
City Attorney has acted on the matter,
thereby leaving me blame1ess when
are not forthcoming.
y l will further state that if Aid.
Scho1ey will tend to his own commit
tees and do it properly, he will have ali
he can attend 70.
(Signed) JOHN CASTER,
Chm. Judiciary Com.
Alderman Pirsch made few gen
eral remarks in which he alleged that
the Mayor had shown very poor judg-
mcnt III appointing Aid. O'Brien on
the investigating committee to look
into the poor committee. Mayor Cor
man "chcwed'' back, but the matter
passed of without any serious car
mage. IL the course of his remarks
Md. Pirsch declared that it was an
outrage to the Council and to the city
to have one of the aldermen appear at
the Council meeting in the condition
which one of the II appeared at the last
meeting.
This sentiment was we'll received
and good old Methodist ''Anens"
were heard in all parts Of the council
chamber. The erring alderman kept
still
An ordinance was passed changing
the grade of Julius street between
Chicago street and Ashland avenue.
Alderman Sci1oley presented an
ordinance for a SIS license for junk
dealers. The ordinance will take the
usual course.
