nue. referred to the public hearing on the
previous petition for. relocation OF rails
In the middle OF the highways
He said that the petition referred 10
heavier rail and a relocation a little
way from the present location. The pc
tition, he stated. had a section calling
attention 10 the imperative order that
the city was required TO remove obstruc-
tions that would make the highways
unsafe.
The alderman took exception 10 the i'm
plioation that the city would be liable
to action in case OF accident caused by
these trees and said that by a provision OF
the act OF the general assembly these
trees were private property.
II don't want u understood that l sd-
nit that the city would be liable In case

cartridges. He asked that the matter |
be referred 10 a special committee with |
instruction to give a public hearing.
He said that there was plenty OF law
to preventing the use and sale Of blank
cartridges rule stands at present.
Alderman Cooke Seid that TO postpone
the consideration OF the matter till after
the Fourth of July. as Alderman Rey-
nolds suggests. would be like locking the |
door after the horse was stolen.
"The whole trouble will come between |
now and the Fourth of July and II we
wait we might. by consideration OF mer-
chsndise, cost many lives and limbs that
would otherwise be saved"
Alderman Reynolds still thought that
there should he delay and the dealers
who had their stocks purchased should

here is no objection tothe use.
