tension Of Emerson Avenue Car
Line.
Aldermen w. E. Satterlee, Michael
A. Gerber and Frank u. Schoonmaker
are the gallant city fathers who have
been delegated by the city council t, to
the city clean. At the council meeting
last evening Mr.. Satterlee called at.
tention to the movement inaugurated
by the league and commended it as +
worthy of support by all citizens. He
moved that committee of three be
appointed to confer and cooperate with
the league. The motion was carried
unanimously and Mr.. Satterlee was hon
ored with the Craftsmanship Of the com
mittee. The principal work of the COM
mittee will be to induce the aldermen !,
to order their street commissioners to
clean all the streets and alleys in their
respective bailiwicks before the regular
ward work is begun.
Eight Are Opposed.
| Only eight votes were recorded
against the recommendation of the spe-
cial committee on cheaper gas that the
arbitration proceedings be abandoned
for the time being and that the COM
mittee be empowered to negotiate di-
] rectly with the gas company for a
! lower price.
] Aldermen Castner and Walker OBJ
iected to the elimination Of the arbi-
tration feature and declared that it
was an impertinence for the gas com
pany to ask for such course, but the
I remaining aldermen took the position
that the city was not yielding any
rights and if the conference did not re-
suit satisfactorily arbitration could
then be enforced.
Alderman, Petersen secured the
] gas to private consumers. He admitted
that the council had no right to inter-
fere in that phase Of the question, but
| the amendment could do no harm and
the gas company might be willing to
discuss the matter with the aldermen.
| Gain Time on Paving.
The minutes Of the last meeting
were reconsidered in order to include
in the official publication of the pro-
ceedings the estimates of the city en-
gineer sfor the cost of the asphalt re-
surfacing. The assessment rolls cannot
be passed until the estimates are pub
lished. Had not the oversight been dis
covered last evening it would have
meant considerable delay to the as
, phalt paving work. AS it is the records
will show that the estimates appeared
, in the minutes of the last meeting and
; the assessment rolls were thereupoI
, passed last night.
Il Several miles of curb and gutter
were ordered laid this season at an ex
| pense> Of $4,000. The report Of tn,
paving committee refusing the reques
Z to annul the order for paving OF
> lower Nicollet avenue was adopted.
