COUNCIL TALKS
 ABOUT CEMENT.

After settling this question, which Is what Mayor Drennen has been advocating for some time, the board became involved in discussion as to the relative merit of cement and brick gutters. It was stat ed that good many property holders on the South Highlands objected to recent ordinances requiring the gutters to be paved with brick. Dr. J. T. Colburne ap- peared and objected in person. The con- tracts had already been awarded, how ever, to MT. B. O. Watkins and he was ordered to go ahead with the work. It was stated that between $800O and 5000 was involved in these brick gutters and that cement gutters would save the prop erty holders at least 5000, besides giving them a better gutter. Alderman Altman attempted to have the vote ordering the work to proceed reconsidered but was de- feated.

QUESTION OF
 REMITTING FINES.

Alderman Ward then stated that during his recent experience as Mayor pro tenn during the absence of Mayor Drennen that most of his time had been taken up by applications to have fines remitted. He had looked into the city charter which required that the Mayor whenever he remitted a fine should state to the board in writing his reasons for doing so. He had never seen this done and he thought that Mayor Drennen should be required to report to the board whenever he re- mitted fine or released cow from the pound.
 Mayor Drennen replied that he hardly thought these reports would interest the board as to why some unfortunate had his fine remitted, say from $10 to $5, and the question was dropped.
