duced a lively discussion. Alderman sullivan was of the opinion that the street Committee was not liable to blame because of the failure. Alderman J. c. Tyson thought that it was. Ald- erman Foster was equally as certain that it wasn't while other Aldermen were just as dogmatic In their beliefs.
 However. Mir. Foster. as chairman of the committee dubbed 'erring," prom ised a report at an early moment.
 The Judiciary Committee had refer red to 1t a petition from Charles Am brosia. an Italian cream peddler, in which he petitioned the city fathers to return him $100 which he had forfeit ed under bond. at a time when he could not appear in court because of sickness. Ambrosia was accused some time ago of selling ice cream that con- tained ptomaines to residents of West End, causing the sickness of a score or more of the feast participants He failed to appear before Recorder Ba- Der at the time set for his trial, and be- cause of the fact lost right to the $1O0 which he advanced for his bond.
