ADJOURNED MEETING
OF CITY COUNCIL

An adjourned meeting Of City Council
was held Tuesday evening with all the
members present except Messrs. CLARK and
Pearson.
The first business considered was the
amendment to the Street improvement bond
ordinance, which, as it stood, fixed the in
terest rate at per cent. AS is known. 4
per cent. bonds now find no takers, and
Council must sell SIC, 900 worth to pay for
the improvement of Delaware street. The
proposed Amendments increased the rate to
41 per. cent The amendment was adopted
by a unanimous vote.
A resolution, companion to the above or
dinance, was then considered and passed.
Both these laws will be found in our adyer-
tising columns.
The Solicitor advised that the bill Of the
Public Service Corporation for lamp posts
and lamps, was legal claim against the
city The bill amounted to $50.
The Solicitor also advised that the cost
Of charging cnrbs and moving buildings
back between New and Russell streets, can
not be charged in the bond issue.
Mr.. Cattell opposed the city giving an
indemnifying bond to the w. j. r. r. for
any damage growing out Of the city plac-
ing a water pipe under the railroad on
Salem ave., and on Mr.. Panceast's g motion
the opinion of the Solicitor was referred
back to him to specify the act requiring
such indemnify.
In communication, Mayor Ladd called
attention to the fact that one officer was now
/, taking vacation, and asking Council to
appoint one. Mr.. Cattell explained that
he had engaged two men who had disap-
pointed him, and had another. Mr.. Thos
Wallace, coming on at midnight tonight.
The Ordinance committee was instructed
to draw an ordinance placing the police
in charge Of the Mayor.
Mr.. Shivers, Of the Street committee, re-
ported that Mrs. Whitall would not agree
TO have her curb set back for less than
ST. 900. In communication, Miss Wilkins
said she preferred 80 have the street lines
remain as they were. Mrs Cattell wanted
$3.50, and all costs paid.
As it would take six weeks to adjust the
difficulty in legal way, Mr.. Shiyers
thought it best to go ahead and put down
the street on present lines, relying on the
future to adjust the difficulty. This course
was taken.
The Street committee was instructed to
lay concrete curb in front of the properties
Of Mrs. Cattell. Miss Wilkins, Mrs. Whitafl
and the Odd Fellows.
Mr.. Pancoast moved that the Street COM
mittee move out the curb in front of An
drew Redield's s property. Lost by the fol-
lowing vote
No-Burkett, catteIl, Kugler, Matlock,
Shivers, Williams. 6
Aye-Dancoast. /.
Mr.. Pancoast moved that bitnlithic
gutter be laid on the west side of Euclid
street from Newton ave. to Cooper street.
Referred to the Street committee with
authority to ascertain the cost and report to
next meeting

FRANCE AND THE TARIFF.
Congressional Legislation Needed to
Effect Settlement.

Washington, Nov 9-Dispatchas from Paris quot
ing the semi-of1cial Temps in protest against
efforts of high protectionists to prevent the French
government from undertaking further tariff nego-
tatons with the United States and other powers
taken in American administrative circles as
possibly presaging a willingness the part Of the
French government 10 extend the present modus
vivendi. which win expire December L
No information is obtainable here of the charac-
ter of the French proposition. 1t Is known, how
ever that the attention of Ambassador Jusserand
has been called to the handicap under which the
President abors in trying to compromise the tariff
situation between the countries. While Section
OF the DinSley act gives the President the power
to make concessions 20 a foreign government
certain articles. in for concessions made to
this country the list is limited. far France
is concerned that practically It is confined TO cham
pagne and sparkling wines
The persistent demands in France that the maxi
tariff be applied 10 articles imported into that
country from the United States. and the pro-
nounced opposition among American wine manu-
facturers to the decreased duty on French wines
leaves little on which President Roosevelt may
make trades with France. in the absence of action
by Congress. Under the recent tariff arrangement
with Germany concessions were made on cham
pagnes. but the imports from that country do not
amount to more than S5O,Oo0 annually. In the case
Of French wines the imports amount to about
$55 0CC0C0. and if the same concessions were made
10 FRANCE as nave Deeh Ihdoe 10 Geil4a'iS' Oi'c
revenues would be affected seriously and objection
might be looked for from Congress.
Ambassador Jusserand undoubtedly has Informed
his government of the intention of President Roose-
welt to ask Congress for the removal of some part
Of the restrictions which prevent a satisfactory ad
justment of the difficulty between France and the
United States. pending the proposed general re-
visions OF the tariff in both countries.
It is quite possible that the commission recently
sent abroad by Secretary Corteyou headed by
James r. Reynolds, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury. will have information which will
have a decidedly favorable bearing upon the early
conclusion of the negotiations.
