City Council Meeting.

There was q meeting nf the City
Council last Thursday. 1t was the
final holding Of tho regular monthly
meeting, which had been postponed.
There were very fcw measures discuss
ed of general interest.
Tho manager of the telephone COM
pany, Mr.. McOrer, addressed tho COun-
Gil, asking that all ordinance be adopt
ed making it q misdemeamOr to use
through the phones. Council ordered
the drafting of IN ordinance to this
effect. The manager also asked that
his company be allowed to trim shade
trees around n now cable they arc put
ting III, promising to preserve the syme-
try of the trees. Permission was grant
Ell, the trimming to he under supervis-
ion of street committee.
"A communication was read showing
that there had been n pre-emptory turn
ing out in the ranks by tho Rough and
Der of the old charter members lost
their membership and are seeking JUS
tice before Council. Alderman Lee G..
HOlleman WAS entrusted with the diff
cult task OF patching the breaches.
Seriously, but by no ean disparag-
ingly of the others, it can be truly said
that the Rough and Ready has always
been the best company OF the depart
ment. and it is we'll worth the effort to
keep them harinonized and we'll organ
lied.
There wera n number of communica-
tons presented, but all of very little
general interest, the only one acted
upon being that of the Southern Ex-
press Company, which resulted in the
reduction of their license from S75 to
$50.
The matter of bond issue for street
paving and school building was barely
touched upon, Health Officer Martin
stating, upon request, that n sufficient
number of freeholders had not yet
signed the petitions.
The matter of the Blue Ridge Rail
way Investigation is in obeyance until
Senator Hood, city attorney, returns
from tho Legislature. In the mean
time, this road hasimproved it's service
in many respects. This is practically
