men sa, at their desks in the city hall
and transacted the city's business.
A few things of importance were dis
posed of but most If the time was TAX
IN up IN talking and wrangling over
trivial matters
The Marx-DenisOn company pre-
scented a petition asking that it be
granted the right to build sidewalks
on Fifth street three feet above the
grade. The communication stated that
the object of the walk was for shipping
purposes from the new building
which Is soon to he ereetsd at Fifth
and Commercial avenue. The matter
was discussed and finally granted.
The reports Of the various commit
ties were read and approved
Several walks we're ordered repaired
and few new ones Ordered built.
The claims and accounts were reail
and allowed. This also consumed
much time as the aldermen wanted to
know why bills amounting to over a
hundred dollars had been presented by
different doctors against the city
Chief Egan explained that they were
all emergency cases and the bills were
allowed.
Among the bills was one from A. S.
Fraser for a car load of lime pur-
chased by the city. Alderman Neff
moved that the bin he allowed but that
the cost Of a carload of rock, that the
ex-alderman had borrowed from the
city be deducted. This brought up an
argument which lasted about IS min
! utes and which was finally ended by a
motion 10 refer the entire matter to
the street committee with power TO
act.

ny and referred to the street com
