which was TO have occurred did not
happen, as a sufficient number Of the
honorable body TO constitute a quorum
did not put in an appearance. The faith
full few then met and adjourned until
next Thursday night, at s o'cloek, when
it is sincerely hoped that all will be
present. Among those TO occupy
chairs were Aldermen Gesner and Steus-
Ion and they for once had things their
own way.
The matter Of bridge improvement,
and also the proposed construction OF
the seven new bridges was TO have
come under discussion, and a number Of
other matters of minor interest. Alder
man Gesner, Of the special committee
on bridges, composed Of Mayor Waters,
steusloR and himself, had in his pos
session a letter, which he would have
read had there been meeting, from
the International FiTepFoof Construe-
tion Company, Of Seattle and Portland.
The letter was concerning She probable
construction Of the seven proposed
bridges, and gave the figures at which
that company could do the work. The
total cost Of building these bridges was
