matter of hucksters there was n
division of opinion. He thought
the license too high and suggested
the council take the question up. In
the matter of the ordinance vacating
portion of the street in favor of
the Tulsa Ice Co., be stated that a
compromise had been effected where
by the council was willing to grant
five feet five inches to to the COM
pany. On motion Of Hawley the or
dinance was agreed to-
A petition from Hodge and Bur-
nett addition, residents asked that
taxes for 1908 be struck off the city
records. Petition was laid over to
next meeting,
Residents On East Third street PEI
titioned for a commercial walk Of
cement in front of the east 30 feet
of lot in block us.
Rumley spoke emphatically in fa-
vor of granting the sidewalk.
Hawley thought it was establish
ing bad precedent to state the
kind of walk.
Yeager thought the council should
90 slow.
Randolph moved that the matter
be referred to street and alley com
mittee.
C. l.. Holland explained the cir
cumstances. He stated that the only
obstructionist, he was sorry to say,
was an old maid, and they could do
nothing with her The property
owners wanted the walk and they
would stand behind it and pay for 1t
if, necessary.
Randolph's motion was put and
lost.
Hawley moved that the walk be
put in at oHce and charged to the
property owners, under the Curtis
bill.
Randolph thought it could not be
done and opposed it
The city attorney said it could be
done, but he thought an ordinance
ought to be made.
l.. Nj. Poe wanted the same thing
done in his neighborhood, He
thought the right thing to do was to
darw up a resolution. He asked that
a resolution be drawn up covering a
sidewalk on East Third street, and
one covering walk on property
owned by an absentee and adjoining
his property.
Hawley withdrew his motion in favor
of another,'which gave the city attor-
ney time to draw up a resolution as
advised by Mr.. Poe.
L. Nj. Poe, on second thought,
thought it better to leave the matter
to the city attorney to fud out all
the law in the case and report at
next meeting.
Rumley moved that the city attor-
ney inform the absentees Of the III
tention of the council. Passed.
J. f. Piersol presented a petition
from property owners on First street,
asking that the council Immediately
pave that street between Boulder
and Detroit.
MIR. Piersol addressed the council
He said that the majority of the
property owners were anxious to
pave; that under the Curtis bill
those who would not consent could
be made to do so, and he asked that
the city reduce the street to grade
and pave the intersections.
Hawley moved that the matter be
made a special order of business for
next meeting and referred to street
and alley committee. Passed.
Rumley moved that ordinance com
mittee be instructed to draw up an
ordinance governing paving of streets
and sidewalks aud submit at next
meeting.
Randolph asked that as paving
and sidewalks were now coming to
thefront and the street and alley
committee would be overworked, a
special committee be appointed by
the mayor to help. The mayor ap-
pointed the street and alley commit
tee alone, saying he could not do any
better
The ordinance vacatlng five feet
five inches on First street to the
Tulsa Ice & Packing Co., was then
placed on its first reading.
Yeager vigorously opposed givinl
the company the FIVE feet five inches.
He said it was neither morally nor
legally right to do so. He had inter
