 Considers Arrangements Satisfactory --City Not Put to Any Expense but
 Reaps Some Benefits.
 Almost. at the start of the special meeting of the board of aldermen in city hall last evening, which was called for the purpose of receiving the report of the city's 'cut' commission, it was shown that is was the wish of most of the members that the public should be given a good chance to be heard in relation to all the matters concerned before any definite action was taken, and while the plans were thoroughly digested by the city's solons, still noth- ing has been done toward adoption nor will be until after a public hearing, which will be held in the near future
 The aldermanic chamber last even ing resembled the drafting department of some big corporation, with it's multi plicity of maps and charts which fairly filtered the spacious room. Reaching from one end of the room to the other, in front of the presidents rostrum, was the much discussed 40-foot blue print, which has taken so long in prep aration. Tn addition to this on every desk was a small miniature plan Of the 4O-footer. Long before the time for ae meeting to be called to order a number of the aldermen and several other citizens were hard at work study ing the plans.
 At 8 o'clock, when Assistant City Clerk Beecher called the roll, it was found that all the members were ac- counted for, except Aldermen Curtiss and Brown There were also a number Of interested spectators.
 Assistant Clerk Beecher first read the following report from the city's "cut'' commission:
