 priation of $3.000 to extend a water
 main to the pest house was called up. Alderman Gunter moved that the ap-
 propriation be charged to the water works extension fund from the general
 waterworks fund.
 Alderman Forbes resisted the pas- sage of this amendment in that 1t would curtail the appropriation for the exten. sion and would embarrass the water- works Committee.
 Alderman Maddox defended the Gun ter amendment in that he thought it was proper to have the money drawn from the waterworks extension fund. He, however, had no serious objection to the adoption of the report of the committee, but wanted 1t to come from somewhere.
 Alderman Sullivan lined up with AL derman Forbes and objected to any change of plans.
 The Gunter amendment was lost and the committees ordinance was adopted without a dissenting vote.
 The ordinance granting Massey Will son and others a franchise to opera>e a double track street railway out Mad ison Avenue to the city limits was amended by Alderman Kohn. who in- serted a transfer proviso, by Alderman Gunter by providing that the franchise shall not become effective until the beneficiaries shall come up to all con- ditions.

 DOnOuEh Street.

The suburbs received the attention of the City Council at the regular semi monthly meeting last night.

 The old South McDonough Street ex- tension matter again came up. Presi- dent Mcintyre moved to reconsider the ordinance by which the city was au- thorized to pay out $16,000 to acquire and improve property for the exten- sion of South McDonough Street to Finley Avenue.
 Alderman Thompson moved to table this motion.
 Alderman Mcintyre asked him to withdraw his motion, as he wanted to present an amendment If the vote was recon sidered.
