| in. direct conflict with the Bateman
Act The city attorney, however, ad
vanced the opinion that the city
could make extensions to the sewers
| by taxing whatever part, if any, the
j city could not pay, against the lots
abutting thereon; but that before
such extension is made the city must
have the money to pay it's part, if
any, of the cost of such Improvement.
On the matter of consolidating the
interest funds of the city, the city
attorney gave it as his opinion that
such action would be legal.
The resignation of K. K. Scott as
city attorney, effective October 1, was
administration for their courteous
treatment of him while in office and
thanked the police officers for tn cir
kindness. The resignation was accep-
ted and a resolution, offered by Mr.
Whitema1, was adopted thanking Mr.
Scott for his gentlemanly courtliness
while in office and speaking of his
honest and fearless discharge of duty
The bond of w. ]. Irwin for $4,000,
as a builder of cement sidewalks was
approved.
Two ordinances imposing liens on
property in front of which sidewalks
were built were introduced and re
ferred to the committee on sidewalks
and bridges.
Ordinance No. 157, providing for
the construction of many cement side
walks in the south part of town, was
brought up for passage. Mr.. Carlton
amended it by excluding the places
where sidewalks of regulation make
have already been laid and again by
adding probably 25 blocks more walk,
all in the Alameda Heights locality.
These amendments were opposed by
Bell, Whiteman and Robinson, but
were passed by the votes of Cummins,
Carlton, Thomas and WylIys. Four
votes could carry the amendments,
but were not sufficient to carry the
ordinance, and when placed On pass
age it was killed by the three first
mentioned. Mr.. Whiteman stated this
morning that he believes the people
have been taxed enough on the side
walk line, and he will oppose further
extension of walks.
J. T. Clark submitted a proposition
by which he seeks to lease the fair
grounds for a period of five years.
He wants the use of the grounds, and
especially the rack track, as a train
ing field for shipment of fine horses
which he will bring from Kentucky
He offers to set out trees all over the
grounds and to see that they are wa
tered and properly cared for if the
city will buy the trees and keep the
pumping plant at the fair grounds
in running order. The proposition
was referred to the Park Commission
with power to act. Mr.. Clark left this
morning for Kentucky to secure his
horses.
After this the council held a short
executive session and then went into
recess.

EMPLOYEES ARE
ON ANXIOUS SEAT
CHANGES EXPECTED IN CITY
TREAsURER's AND PARK
COMMISSIONERS OFFICES.

Employees In two Offices In the city
hall are sitting rather anxiously In
their chairs. In both the treasurers
and the park commissioners Offices
there are bound to be heads falling.
1t was expected that. long before
this, Park Commissioner Hinchman
would have made a sweep. But he
has proven to be a very conscientious
commissioner, bent more on making
good with his work than in following
political rules. Therefore, he has kept
Secretary Hurlbut, superintendent
Busch and Dillger and others, who are
stoutly Republican in politics.
Hlnchman thinks that he can do his
work better with experienced and COM
petent men and he does not intend to
make any changes until he sees where
he can get men as good, IL not better
than the ones replaced.
City Treasurer Koch does not DENY
that there are changes to be made In
his Office, but he will not say when
they are likely to come either, and it
may be quite long time. Some of the
men who were in office under VIM. b.
Thompson have made good under
Koch and will hold their jobs as long
as they keep up their work.
There may be one or two changes In
the assessors office before Mayor
Thompson goes out of the chair.

ent ordinance provides that each and
every boiler must be operated by an

No attention at all was paid to the
law insofar as Ii applied to small Nat
