A message from the governor was
announced, and Hon. Charles Jacob
son, private secretary to the governor,
announced that the designations of J.
e, Martin and J. P. Eagle of the state
capitol commission having been ac-
cepted, the governor had on April Z,
1902, appointed w. B. Kinds and w. r.
Duely to the positions and asked their
confirmation.
Also that Messrs. Cohen, Crump and
Whitaker had resigned from the
Worlds fair commission and he had
appointed in their stead Messrs. Geo.
R. Belding, Geo. Lake and J. c. Rein
bert. and asked for their confirmation.

he thought it nothing but real down
right nerve for any one to ask for
concession of this kind and that he
thought it better plan to spend the
money that will be for use on the
streets all over town; to do some work
on all streets, and not start a thing
that will use all the money for several
years on any one street.
Mayor Bell had his say and stated
that the petition which had been pre-
sented would by virtue of courtesy
to the people of Sixth avenue. who
had hustled and showed quick in
tention to secure permanent improve
ments. and as the policy Of everyone
in town who had expressed them
selves in the papers and otherwise,
was to the effect that to pave street
at time, and whereas the people Of
sixth avenue who We're ambitious
enough to get their petition in first,
and because lawyer has not drawn
it up in all the necessary technical
detail, he held that the council would
consider this petition first He stated
that it would be necessary to take
these matters up in some order: that
the only petition which had ever been
before the council was the Second
avenue petition; that it had gone by
default on account of the second peti-
tion never materializing, and he would
state to Mr.. Haycock that his petition
would be considered first; that it
would be the first on record, unless
the council overruled him; that it was
obligatory for the council to grant
petitions and not a matter of their
pleasure;; that the statues make it
their duty to act upon it.
Mr.. Haycock. who was anxious to
have first place for the people he rep
resented then presented the petition
in its regular form. 1t was railroaded
through.
Mayor Bell took the right stand The
