mmittee. Carried.
Mr.. Mcdonald moved that the or
dinance be put on its final passage
and there being no objection, the
roll Vas called each member voting
"Gye.
Mr.. Early then state that the sewer
committee had completed its work
in connection with the new sewer and
had nothing further to suggest.
Mr.. Rand asked if there was any
| further business to be brought before
council.
MIR. Hanna, who was present arose
and sac that as a representa- tive of
F., @. Smiths interests, be would like
to known what council was going to
do about line that had recently Eeen
run by the City Engineer which had
taken about 80 feet of the property
of this company for city street.
That the company was willing to have
two surveyors selected, one by the
council and one by themselves and
have joint survey made and would
be satisfied to abide 10y the decision
thus arrived at.
Mr.. Henderson then asked the at
tention of council and said that the
line he had run was the only one
which could be run with the data at
hand to do it. The only corner from
which line could be run was one
that had been established years ago
| by the govern ent and later checked
up by Mr. Clarke "a years ago when
he, was county surveyor. All the
other marks indicating this line with
the exception of one line of blazed
trees had been cbliterated, but that
the persons owning the original prop
erty for which MIR. Hanna was max.
ing the contention had always accept.
ed this original line which was the
same as the one run by him and that
the law provided that subsequent
holders of property must accept the
line under which the deed to the same
had been acqnilel. Otl erwse there
would be nothing to go by and the
lines OF property holders would te in
state OF chaos,
Mr.. Hanna said that the PARTIES he
was representing did not want to take
the matter into court, but II courciI
did not do something ttout it they
would do so, Tie also wanted council
to change the 1 lan iGr cling a ide
walk on the prol osei new street from
the west to the cat side, claiming
that more people eotld be henef1tted
by so doing.
Mr. Early said that he did not see
how council could 40 anything in the
matter, that the city had au engineer
who had run a line for the street
and the engineer wts sure that the
line Yves right and that council
would have to accept the line until
there was absolute proof Tat it was
incorrect. He thought tLat'the prom
erty IN question had teeu benefited to
the extent of from 500 to $500 and
that if Mr.. Hanna insisted on taking
the matter into court lie ould have
to do so.
Several of tho other couucilmen
spoke in regard to the question but
as the e was no disposition on the
part OF council to take any action
other than it had already done in the
matter, it was dropped
MIR, Mayes said that he wished to
bring little innovation to the atten-
tion of council, thst CT having an arc
light placed on the corner of the
streets interseoting just below the CITY
ball. Several business men had spoken
to him about it, one cf whom was
present,
Mr.. Bartmess was then given the
floor and said that ii council would
place light on this correr. be would
be willing to pay his share of the ex
pense for it, if council would pay the
other part inasmuch as it lit up the
street in froot of the engine house
aud city hall.
Mr., Early said that he was not in fa.
vor of the city doing anything of the
kind at present as it had all it could
provide for.
Mr.. Mcdonald moved that council
adjourn and the motion was carried.
