There was no quorum and conse-
quently no meeting of the city
council on Tuesday night. A com.
mittee of the board of trade was
present to ask an extension of the
new River street sidewalk order
that it might include Third street to
Lemon. As ordered the walk would
end at Walton's stable. Residents
of River street as we'll as those on
Third are hopeful the council will
order the walk extended to Lemon
street, thus giving residents of the |
hammock a good walk to the center
of the city. 1t is thought the coun-
ell will have no objection to this eX-
tension.
