city Council.
Councilman Wallace succeeded in get
ting his Woodbury. avenue crossing ordi-
nance through the city council last night
By a vote OF to 2, Councilmen Maloney
and Smith voting against it. The ordi-
nance defines the need for crossing
upder the tracks Of the Great Western
railroad but the railroad has the right
OF appeal to the railroad commissioners.
G. @. Saunders, attorney for the railroad,
protested against the passage of the ordi-
nance, taking the position that the neces-
sity for such a crossing did not exist and
that there were many far more, dangerous
crossings within the city limits which
were entirely, unprotected Mr.. Saunders
said. such a crossing as proposed by the
ordinance would cost $4,000 at least.

TwentYSfourth street was turned down. G.
Z w. Skinner, president Of the West End
Improvement club, and sixty other resi-
dents OF that section OF the city filed a pro-
test against a permit for a saloon at that
place being granted. Councilman Hendrix
OF the Sixth ward explained that his con-
stituents objected TO the saloon for the
reason there was police protection In

the discussion that local wholesale firm
had purchased the property at Broadway
aud Twenty-fourth street and rected a
1900 saloon bnilding 1t before any pro-
test was filed. Mayor Macrae called atten-
ton 70 the fact that there were two sa-
looms on West Broadway, one OF which

tempted to close, but the people OF that
ward petitioned that 1t be allowed TO run.

by a vote Of to 3.
