Tilt over n Committee Report.
At former meeting a petition from
]. H. Lankenau was received. asking
permission to erect a wooden second
story upon a brick store at Jefferson
and Wayne streets. and also to con-
struct a stoop. The petition was re-
ferred to the Committee on Fire and
the Committee on Streets and Lanes.
A report was made by Alderman
CAVITY, as chairman. for the two com
mittees. This report was favorable to
the petition.
The reading of the report provoked
some discussion. Alderman Watson
said it had never been referred to the
Streets and Lanes Committee, and
moved that 1t be referred back to the
Joint committees. He said he did not
think the matter had been looked into.
The motion to refer the petition back
was lost. but a division was called
upon the vote. This did not affect the
decision of the chair. Then the point
was raised that that portion OF the
petition referring to the stoop had been
stricken out, andadt seemed to be the
belief Of some Of, the aldermen that
this change wasonot justified. once the
paper had been submitted to Council.
Mr.. Lankenau's petition was granted.
