ding to the decision of the engineer,
which was carried unanimously. The
ordinance authorizing the grading and
graveling ofall cross streets was brought
forth and the request made that all
citizens having objections to the pas
sing of the ordinance make them
known. Chas. A. Norton addressed
Council and stated that although he
had no fault to find with the graveling
provision of the ordinance he did object
to the sand grading clause, on the as
sessment plan, as it would be unjust
to the property owners He stated that
a number of the side streets would IN
doubtedly he sand graded with nate
taken from Pacific venue when
that street is paved, which would be
no expense to those streets. The re-
naming streets would have to bear the
full expense of sand grading which
would unequalize the expense. Carl
Haswin also addressed Council and
protested against the provision and
hoped that Council would consider the
matter before passing the ordinance
with its sweeping requirements. On
motion of Mr.. Woolstou that portion
of the ordinance relating to sand grad
be given May 8 on the amended ordi-
nance. Adjourned to Saturday night,
