INTERESTING MEETING, is
MARKED BY THE SPIRIT OF
REAUTIFYING THE CITY,

At the meeting Oh the Board OF
Works last night, several new i'm
proVement measures were suggested,
and some were adopted.
1t was decided to improve North
Palafox street from Inc monument to
the city limits. The power was given
Supt. Burns to so ahead with the
work, and details were left entirely to
him.
The hack stands on Palafox street
at the Plaza are not looked upon with
favor by the board, so action was
taken to have them removed to some
other part of the city, as the Plaza
is to be improved, and the board says
that the cabs do not tend to increase
the beauty of that place, and that
they will nave to go. but another
place will be provided for them.
The board appointed committee,
composed of Messrs. Forbes, Walker
and Thiesen, to provide for the pur-
chase of furniture to install in the
new city hall
The marshal will be instructed to-
day to rigidly enforce the driving or
dinance. This ordinance provides
that all vehicles shall move along
the right side of the street.
Superintendent Burns reported that
complaints had been made that sewer
contractor Storrie had not placed
streets in proper shape after laying
piping, that he had left stumps IN
the street, and that, furthermore, he
had left streets and even bridges in
worse condition than they were be
fore he began work on them. Con
tractor Storrie will be notified that II
will be necessary for him to place
streets in condition after completing
his sewer work.
1t was reported by one OF the in
spectors that several buildings in the
city were unsightly and dangerous
and he asked that the Board make
some arrangements to have them dis
posed of in some way. The board,
however. decided that it did not have
the power to tear down buildings,
but referred the matter to the Board
of Safety for action.
II is expected that some drastic
municipal policy Will soon be adopted
with reference to unsightly shacks OF
