NEGRO PARK ABUSES
TWO ORDINANCES TO REGULATE CAR COMPANY.
City Council May Require screens an Cars to Separate the Races Both Measures Lie on
 the Table.

White citizens of Montgomery may secure some relief from the conditions on the Washington Park car line of the Montgomery Street Railway where negroes are being handled daily to the exclusion of white passengers. no provision being made for the latter.
 Two ordinances were submitted to the council last night on this sub ject.
 Alderman Jackson, chairman of the Franchises Committee. to whom it was referred. reported on the Sullivan res olution in reference to the Washing ton Park abuses of the street railway in the form of an ordinance. The or dinance provides for a movable screen on all cars on this line to separate the white passengers from the negro pas sengers. but does not require this rule on chartered cars to Washington Park. It requires that seats always be re- served for both races.
 Alderman Kohn submitted a minori- ty report. His ordinance provides that at least half of each regular car shall be reserved for whites on the Wash ington Park line. but as many special cars, marked exclusively for negroes. may be run to the park as the street railway may deem necessary.
 Both ordinances provide for a fine of not less than $1 nor more than $1vo.
 Neither ordinance says anything about using all of the rolling stock of tho company on the negro park line to the detriment of the schedules on their lines.
 Both ordinances. under the rules, will lie on the table until the next meeting of the council.

c,tx Tax Rate is Fixed.

The ordinance fixing the tax rate at its old figure of 50 cents on the nun dred dollars for municipal expenses and 62 1-2 for the payment of the in- terest on the city's bonds was passed
 A resolution by Alderman Forbes authorized the Mayor to employ addi- tional help in the office of the City Engineer in the person of one clerk at a salary of $100 a month was pre- sented by Alderman Forbes. It was adopted by the council.
 Another resolution by the same al- derman changed the name of Gi1mer street running out of Clanton street. to Fairfield street. Mir. Forbes ex- plained that there were two Gilmer streets in the city and the postoftice authorities were more or less confused in the delivery of mail. The resolu- ton was referred to the committee Of streets.
 Still another resolution by Alder man Forbes extended to the officers and men of the Brigade of Alabama troops the freedom of the city and hearty welcome in case they should de- eide to camp in Montgomery. The res- olution was unanimously adopted.
 A resolution by Alderman Gunter instructing the School Committee to advertise for bids for furnishing the city with 75o new school desks was re- ferred to the School Committee.
 Another resolution by Alderman Gunter instructed the School Commit tee to investigate and report to the council upon the needs of two addi- tional rooms at the Girls High School Building.

REPAIR OF RESERVOIRS
BAD CONDITION AT THE CTTY,s
 WATER PLANT.
Mayor CIT !s.-sH .Nc Council to Ap- rfopriate Money 10 fm.ryvc 1t and
 Also Wants More Mules,

The attention of the Montgomery City Council at its regular meeting last night was called to the condition of the reservoirs at the City Water Works, and the lack of a sufficient number of mules to enable the streets to be sprinkled properly. by Mayor Carr In two messages.
 The message in reference to the res- ervoirs stated that they were leaking and in immediate need of attention. The services of contractors had been se- cured and the repairing was attempted without an extra appropriation. This was found impossible and money was asked for to do the work.
 The message of the Mayor was re- ferred to the Committee on Water WorGn.
 The second message asks for an ap- propriation sufficient to purchase a lot reasons are set out in his message as follows:
 "First-The Sanitary Department is today working with the same amount of wagons as that under their super vision before the annexation of addi- tiopal territory. Asa consequence they are totally unable to attempt to re- move trash from the streets in the su- burban sections of the city, which is tne cause OI HuIIfeFouS CoHlpidhHts lToHi the citizens thereof.
 'Second-Since beginning the i'm provement of our streets. we have been compelled to hire teams for the pur- pose of assisting in the work. The books of the Treasurer will show that during the past three months there has been expended practically $1.00o for this purpose. Should we be in posses sion of the required number of teams this expenditure would not be neces- sary, and within a short time we would have saved the purchase price of the teams"
 The Mayor said 1t would be unneces- sary for additional wagons to be pur- chased at present. as some of the wag- ons formerly used by the Street De- partment have been discontinued on account of the necessity of working the mules to the street sprinklers during the summer months. There are also several parts of old. discarded wag ons. sprinklers. etc. stored at the city's lot. which. at a nominal cost, may be converted into wagons substantial enough to meet the needs for several months.
 The message was referred to joint committee composed of the Committees on Streets and Sanitation.

had been caught asleep. He saw no harm in the City Attorney framing the ordinance.
 It was suggested by Alderman Gun ter that the same thing would come up in another form later in the meeting and action on the report was accord ingly postponed indefinitely.
 petition was received from the con- tractors for the new addition to the Federal building. asking for permis- sion to build temporary driveway from Dexter Avenue into the govern ment property in order to facilitate the handling of mails. The petition was granted.
 A petition by Judge J. B. Gaston for the refunding of s15o for taxes err roneously charged was referred to the Committee on Finance.
 Phares Coleman. President of the Montgomery Library Association re- ported that at a meeting of the Board of Trustees the request of the Council had been complied with as to hours.
 The petition of property owners of South Lawrence Street for the refund ing of taxes paid for paving four and a half feet, which had been previously paid for by the Montgomery Traction Company, was referred to the Commit tee on Judiciary.
 The resolution directing the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for the placing of all electric wires un- derground, was taken from the table. but the point was made and sustained that this resolution which was by AL derman Jackson, had been indefinitely postponed at previous meeting. The ordinance makes fruit sellers and fresh meat sellers protect their wares from flies. either by electric fans or by suitable coverings. come up under the head of unfinished business and was passed by the council.
 The ordinance to appropriate $550 for improvements at the City Stables. was then unanimously passed. Several Paving Ordinances. The ordinance providing for the graveling of Monroe street. from Mc- Donough to Jackson streets and paw ing the sidewalks with hexagon blocks, was then taken from the table. The graveling and the paving Is to be done under the Baby Bond Act" The or dinance was adopted.
 The paving of the sidewalks and the graveling of Sayre street from Wilson street to Jefferson Davis avenue, was provided for under the Baby Bond Act" in an ordinance next passed by the council.
 similar ordinance Tor ehe paving of Goldthwaite street in the same way, was then passed. The next paving ordinance provid- ed for the paving with hexagon blocks of the sidewalks on North Perry street from Madison avenue to Jefferson street. It was passed without apposi- ton.
 Alderman Forbes offered a resolution directing the City Treasurer to adver- tise for bids for furnishing the city with coal for the twelve months be- ginning August 1. The resolution was adopted.
