 Mcintyre. Gunter. May. Haygood and Hudson.
 The Committee on Streets reported un- | favorably the petition of Abraham Bros.
 to have a larger sewer put down in Lee | Street.
 sewer had been put in at a heavy cost | and the committee was of the opinion
 that 1t should not be taken up and re-
 placed now.
 The Committees report was adopted. The Streets Committee also turned down
 the petition of the stablemen of Montgom-
 cry to be allowed to drive loose mules
 through the streets on Sunday. The | stock dealers are now prohibited from
 driving loose mules through the city

 rescinded. so that mules could be moved from the cars to the stables and stock yards. The Committee, however, did not
 approve the petition and the Committees g action was sustained by the Council. Alderman Gunter, from the joint Com i mittee on Schools and Finance, intro
 duced two ordinances relative to the

 ton of the Billings property into city | school. The second ordinance appropri-
 ates SS0 to Ausfeld and Chapman in pay l ment for plans for repairs in the Capital

 Both ordinances were adopted without | opposition.

 ferred to the Committee on Franchises. A petition from the architects of the | proposed new Pelzer building on Com merce Street was read. The petition ask ed for permission to build two elevator ] hoods above the roof of the building. The petition was referred to the Fire Depart ment Committee.
