EVANSVILLE AND VICINITY.
Meeting of Town Council for Considera-
ton of Important Business.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
EVANSVILLE, January o 1905.
The regular monthly meeting of the com
mon council. postponed from Saturday,
December 81. was held Saturday evening
last in the new council chambers over the
local pharmacy. The mayor presided and
all the members were present. The report
of the inspector of plumbir. and buildings
showed that 30 building permits had been
issued during the year 1894. He reported
certain incongruities in the sewer and wa
ter regulations and on motion of Council
man Owens amendments intended to cover
these apparent defects were adopted.
DR.. Jos. A. Mudd asked the council TO
order the condemnation of partially
burned shanty on Maryland avenue and a
ruined water tank in the Perkins SUBJ
division, and the inspector of buildings was
directed to communicate with the owners
of these structures asking that they be
removed forthwith. Dr. Mudd contended
that both these structures had become eye
sores and greatly marred the appearance
OF the locality In WHICH they were situated
Mr. Jackson H. Ralston asked that the
First National Bank of Hyattsyille be per-
mitted to build not less than eight feet
from the sidewalk on Spencer street and
on motion OF Councilman Owens it was
declared to be the sense of the council that
such permission could be granted under
the building regulations they now exist
Mr.. Ralston explained that the plans as
drawn were quite elaborate and ornamen-
tai, and If required to build back 20 feet
from the sidewalk, ii would be necessary to
change these plans. 1t was developed that
there was considerable doubt about the
regulations requiring building to be placed
back 90 feet from the sidewalk applying
In the case of a corner lot. The new bank
buildinss to cost 5000, will be erected at
the northwest corner of Maryland and
johnson avenues.
Councilman Chas. Fl. Welsh chairman of
the water committee, read the final report
of Consulting Engineer r. Chalkley Hatton
relative to experiments made on the three
wells from which the towns water supply
is drawn The engineer asserted positively
that there was absolutely no danger of a
water famine, but recommended that to
provide for the future growth of the town
larger air compressor be provided. Sew
eral improvements have been made at the
plant which add greatly to the efficiency
of the system as a whole
Several weeks since q bill of $105 SUBJ
mitted by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company against the town account of
certain mechanical and inspection work in
connection with placing iron sewer pipe
under their tracks at Maryland avenue
was submitted to Town Counsel Robert w
Wells, with instructions to report. Not a
member of the council thought there was
the slightest ground for the company S
claim, and Engineer Hatton, in charge Of

the construction of the sewers, opposed
payment, and said the company had never
collected such an account on any work in
which he had ever been engaged.
At the meeting Saturday evening Mr..
Miller submitted a bill of $130 on account
of furnishing certain materials in connec-
tion with the work at the water wells, and
the account was passed without any ques
ton. Later in the evening Mr.. Wells, who
since the railway company's bill of $1O5
had been submitted to him had become
attorney for the railroad company, sug-
gested that Miler's bin be not paid, but
that il be held pending settlement of the
railroad company's bill. Miller's bill of
$40 was, however. for work in connection
with the water works, and had no connec-
ton with the sewer work on account of
which the alleged claim of the railroad
company was filed. The council. however,
adopted the suggestion of Mr.. Wells. and
reconsidered the action by which Mller's
bill was paid.
Councilman Long, chairman of special
committee to secure street designations for
the town reported that he had received
two bids for the work, the figures being
exactlysthe same in both instances About

The Commissioners state that within the

force of the corporation counseTs office to
undertake the work. as the Office II is
stated, is already crowded with current
business.
