CITY COUNCIL.
Regular Monthly Meeting Was
Held Last Evening.
Roll of Accounts, No. 7, Approved
and Ordered Paid.
Order Conserving Cab Drivers Tabled
in Common Council.

The July meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held. last evening. and a large
amount of business was transacted
In the absence of Mayor Titcomb
Alderman Hichborn presided over the
deliberations of the upper body and
Col Harrington occupied the chair in
the common council.
An order, passed by the common
council at the last meeting. providing
that the sidewalk on the north side OF
Cony street, from Pearl to Pine street,
be repaired, and that the sidewalk on
the east side of Pine street be re-
paired and proper measures taken to
prevent teams from the use of said
sidewalk on Pine street as q driveway,
was referred to the highway committee
in concurrence.
joint convention of both branches
was then held for the purpose of con-
sidering report of the committee on
highways regarding the matter of
permanent improvements which had
been ordered to be made in the East
ern district. Chairman HichbOrn of
the committee took the floor, Alderman
Fletcher occupying his place in the
chair, and the gentleman from Ward
2 proceeded to state the object of call
ing the joint convention. Mr.. HIGH
born began by saying that since the
last meeting of the city government
the committee on accounts had been
asked TO approve bills endorsed by the
street commissioner of the Eastern
district, which in all exceeded the en-
tire appropriation for the whole year
of $1452.35. so that" said Mr.. HIGH
born, the entire expenditure up to
July LIST, including bills now due but
not presented. brings the excess of ex-
penditure about $500 above the ap-
preparation for the year thus far
made.
Council Harrington thought the COM
mittee on highways and the committee
on accounts had acted wisely in calling
the attention of the city government
TO the condition of affairs in the East
ern highway department. but he
thought that, inasmuch as the commits
sioner is obliged by his oath of Office
to keep the highways in his district in
a passable condition. he should be al
lowed an opportunity to be heard in
his own behalf
Councilman Hall moved, that the con-
vention be dissolved, and the common
council retired.
1t will be remembered that the cost
of matchmaking the road to the hos
pital is included in the expenditures of
the Eastern highway district, and the
balance has been expended on the other
city and suburban roads.
Subsequently in the board of alder
men Mr.. Hichborn introduced an order
transferring $4,000 from the contingen.
account to the Eastern highway dis
trict. which was passed In concurrence.
An order was then passed by both
branches authorizing the payment OF
the bills in roll of accounts No. a.
amounting to s952414.
