Mayor Myers has prepared his message
to set forth his reasons for having We
| toed the ordinance. Quite an array of fig
ures will be presented the aldermen, as
those of the Mayor and Mr. Wade will
| be supplemented by an opposition set Al
| dermen will submit a statement showing
the advantage that it would be to the
|
brick.
Mr.. Wade said yesterday that two of
| the leading lawyers in the city. both of
| them interested in CASTOR street property
| have been considering an application for
| an injunction. restraining the city from
paving the street with any other material
than shell. Mr. Wade was inclined, how
ever, to think that the course adopted
will be to contest the payment of the
assessments after the work has been
| done. Courts do not look for a chance
| to grant injunctions against municipalities
| and legislative bodies, he said, and ne
believes as a representative of the OPP
posing property owners, that their best
! course will be to fight the assessments.
1t is expected that an ordinance to pro-
vide for the inspection of diaries, dairy
| wagons and dairy depots will be intro
| duced tonight. 1t is also to provide for
| an analysis of milk. The ordinance grows
out of the recommendation to Council by
! the Sanitary Board. The ordinance will
not call for the appointment of a new Of
fcer. as the health officer will see to
the performance of the work imposed. The
ordinance will probably provide penalty
! for infractions.
1t is still thought that an application
| for certain rights and privileges for a
new street railway system will be made.
| The gentlemen interested in the project
are busy with their plans, and It is prob
able that they will get in their petition.
! An impression prevails among those Of
| the board who have heard of the mat
| ter that Mr.. ID. B. Lester is interested
in the new movement, but that is denied
| by those who are known to have con-
nection with it.
| An election for port warden will be
| held. This position was made vacant by
| the death of Mr.. W. b. Adams. The ap-
plicants for the position are Messrs. G..
w. Lamar, T. b. Marshall, Jerome O.
Sullivan land Gen. p. McGlashan. It
cannot be told with certainty just how
the election will result. II is said that
the greater strength is shown by Mr..
Sullivan and Mr. Lamar. Mr.. Frank Nc
Dermott was appointed to I'll the place
temporarily upon the death Of Mr. Adams.
bue he declined the appointment after
an investigation. saying that he found
that the position does not pay enough to
