1t was moved by John Larsen that the
report be accepted. An amusing debate
followed because the men who had fav-
ored the ordinance feared that accepting
the report had some effect on the fate of
the ordinance. John Hasburgh, George
Hoffman and Matt Peterson passed their
vote. desiring to lay the acceptance over
for a week. When it was explained that
accepting the report OF the committee had
nothing to do with the ordinance they an
swered yes to the roll call on the motion to

the attitude of the councilmen had not
changed, with one exception.

The contractors for the @ street viaduct
have been seriously interfered with lately
by pedestrians, laborers and residents of
the locality, who, since the subfloorlng has
been laid on the viaduct have persisted In
crossing while the men have been at work.
During the forenoon until about 10 O'Clock,
and after 8 In the afternoon the numbers
interfered greatly. In addition to this the
viaduct has not been received and any ac-
cident which might occur would be entirely
chargable against the contractors. Yester-
day the company fenced up the ends of
the yiaduct and made everyone cross under
meath as before the floor was laid. Three
workmen. H. Kludorty, A. Lafford and Joe
Victorian, attempted to cross In spite of
these barriers and were arrested last even
ing by the special officers. They were
warned not to attempt TO cross. VIII
weather conditions favorable the structure
will be ready to turn over to the city in a
short time. The contractors explain that
they must be permitted to finish the
structure before is is used.
