The special meeting of the council
aud Board Of public works, called TO
consider the sewerage question, came
of A. per program last Monday night
and by q vote Of four 90 one the pro-
position 70 build sewers in the second
district and spread three fourths Of the
cost on the city at large and one-fourth
on the property benefited carried. The
views were not altogether unanimous
upon this proposition. Mayor Moriarty
opposed the division Of the TAX
taking the position that the assessing
Of the city AZ large for sewerage in the
business district above proportion Of
forty per cent in unfair He WAS sup
ported by the aldermen from the hrst
ward, although Alderman Penglase was
the only one present from the ward
The proposition was passed, how
ever, Aldermen Miesler, Scadden. Wills
and Gribble voting for IL and Alder
man Penglase against IL
The enforcement Of the ordinance
prohibiting cattle horses and otner
animals running at large on the pubic
streets IL having hard sailing and it
looks very much as II IL is % fall
through The hrst hitch in connec-
ton with this ordinance came ut the
meeting held week ago. Prior 10 the
meeting Mayor Moriarty nad gone ont
10 look mp quarters for pound and
determined that the Andrew Bassi
Milwaukee, place IN the lower end
81 the city looked the best 70 him He
accordingly made arrangements with
the etsate for the purchase Of the pro
perty. including house and barn, for
49, He offered the property 10 the
vcity bnt the aldermen baked. He then
made the proposition that II the city
would take the barn and half of the
field he would take the honse himself.
This meant an outlay Of Si62. ~ for a
pound that included barn, the keep
ing Of animals stanchioned IN the hot
sun being cruel and snlawfal. This
proposition didn't meet with favor
either and 40 the matter lay in suspense
until the last meeting when the ques-
tion came mp again and was again
threshed over A counter proposition
70 use the old waterworks building
was made and then another 20 dis
charge the poundmastre. Nothing was
decided upon however, and the matter
IL yet in suspense but IL looks as II the
agitation will have died aborning
The proposition 70 pass dog ordin
anoe was also taken mp and that got nc
further than talk. II may be passed
at the meeting ~ be held next Monday
night but there il nothing certain
about IT,
