TOOK NO ACTION
ON ORDINANCE
Street and Sewer Directors
Did Not Favor Solicitor
Harman's Paper
OBJECTED TO SEVERAL PROVISIONS
Thought That Railway Companies
Would be the Best Judges Of tho
Kind of Tenders to Use-othsr Diff
feroncas.

The proposed ordinance regulating
the Tenders. the stopping OF cars. and
regulating the speed of the same, was
brought up before the Street and
Sewer Commission this morning, but
was not adopted as expected. After
much discussion the board decided to
postpone action In the matter until next
Tuesday.
Mayor Charles ID. Bird and City So
licitor Robert G. Harman were present
and sought. every means to induce the
commission to adopt the ordinance.
Mr.. Johnson announced that there
We're several Objectionable things In the
proposed law which the board throught
should be eradicated. Just what the
Objectionable features We're he did not
state.
Mr.. Harman said, "Wen. II the board
does not wish to adopt the ordinance
as it is. why not pass the part per-
tanning TO fenders2" Mr.. Johnson said
he did not think the board was capable
/ OF selecting n fender to compel the
railway companies to use. He also had
doubts as TO whether Il was the bus-
mess Of the board TO do IT,
'In other words" said Mr. Harman,
]
should be allowed 10 put on a fender
OF their own selection"
Mayor Bird said: eve are not per-
sonally concerned. but we desire that
you pass fender ordinance which VIII
be of benefit to the city. The railway
companies arc anx Gus to equip their
cars with tenders and / don't see why
the matter should be laid over for an-
other week IL should not take n month
or six weeks to pass "A little ordinance" "
City Solicitor Harman said that the
ordinance did not convey the meaninp
that the Street and Sewer Commission
should select one fender. but five or six
II necessary. for the railway companie,
ITO make their selection from. II was
finally decided to lay the matter ovei
until next week.
After the meeting Of the board, a rep
resentative Of the Sherwood fende
showed four styles OF this make OF fen
der. He gave an interesting demon
stration and it is likely that one o
more of his Tenders viii be among thos
t selected.
/ Manager Crook Of the Peoples Rall
3 way Company appeared before IN
board and asked for more time on
bill held against his company by tn
, Street and Sewer Commission for paw
ing, amounting TO ssO6o.2s The matte
was taken under advisement.

tention TO another bill owed by tn
