appealing the case to the supreme
court, the council decided TO refer the
matter to the judiciary committee.
Three circumstances were presented
to the council from residents on
Church street protesting against the
proposed paving of that street with
brick and urging the use of macadam
paving material. They are oppUsed
to brick for several reasons. First,
because Of the high grade of that
noisy for a residence street; third,
because brick paving is too expensive
and would prove burden to the tax
payers. The communications were
filed in order that the parties may
have al opportunity to be heard.
The application and bond OF W. j.
Mcclure for a saloon license were
approved, also applications for drug
licenses from Z. M. Stapleton, r. H.
Brenecke and the W. H. Meyne Drug
Co.
Alderman Ryan presented an ordin-
ance amending an ordinance governing
hack and bus men. It was adopted
and now provides that any person can
operate buses to picnics, fairs, ETC.,
without obtaining license and not
interfering with the provisions for
buses running to trains. The ordin-
Gnce was amended SO hastily in order
that the visitors here for the home
coming might have necessary accomo-
dations to the picnic grounGs and a
certain few not have a monopoly in
the conveyance Of the visitors to the
picnic grounds.
Another ordinance was also intro
duced providing for the issuing of
bonds IN the amount of 81, 500 as 2
fund for the construction of sanitary
sewers.
Alderman Lutovsky succeeded last
evening in the passage of his resolu-
ton for the grading Of Dewey avenue,
for which he has been zeaIously
working. as also bis his colleague, DR..
Hartwig, who was the originator of
the plan. According to the terms of
the resolution, the storm sewer plan
will be abandoned and only a short
sewer laid. 1t is said the cost Of the
sewer as planned would have been
81, 500. The estimated cost Of the
grading and short sewer is $300-which
means quite a saving and better
satisfies the residents along the
street.

Tenth street crossing from 6 80 d. M
to 6 80 p. M, instead of from 6 80 a.
