cedure would have to be gone over again. the lithographing paid for. new bond papers, the attorneys fees again paid to lock over new set. and also delay would be occasionsd in attend. inE to these matters.
 It was said last night by one of the Councilmsn that in spite of the oiamor for the immediate issuing of the bonds tho papers will not be placed on the market in any haphazard masnE, just to satisfy the demand of O. few. The Alderman said that the Council would proceed in the matter with the ut most care and caution and no omcial step would be taken until the men re- sponsible were sure of the ground on which the step was to be made.
 The bond issue has two items in IL that are calling for attention. prfmar- fly the bonds for wharf and ware house. sio,o0o and secondly the bonis for school Improvements. The wharf matter Is the more pressing. the boats already coming to the city with goods and the use of a wharf with lading facilities. is pressing. The school bonds. even if the loan was secured at once. would not be available until the summer vacation. the school build ings are crowded now and until the houses are vacant there is little or nothing that could be done.
 Another matter of no little interest locally h the reinstatement of the Belt Line of the street car railroad. An Alderman said last night that during the afternoon he had visited the csm- etery and when he came in to take car for home 1t was so crowded he could not get on and that some twenty or thirty persons had to wait for many minutes for another car.
 An official of the car company stated some time ago thak the present unsat- fsfactory service was due to the fac' that the company had started in on general renovation of the lines and thai the Belt car had been taken on so tracks could be repaired. He also said the company desired to put In addi tional switches and as soon as this work was done the Belt cars would go back in service.
 It fs said by some that the franchise of the company is such that the Coun. ell can demand the replacement or the Belt cars and if they are not forth coming in a reasonable time the City Council will take action on the matter and see what can be done.
 The car question will be discussed nt the Council meeting tonight
 Street paving will come In Tor its share of aldermanic attention. Street Superintendent Faber last week pre- pared specifications for the various materials that may be used on the soon to -be-paved streets and this will be placed before the council. As there are some score of streets affected and the total paving amounting to dis tance of nearly two miles. the discussion is expected to be lengthy but that's not all. This Is "kick" night. Citizens who have "a yell coming" about the paving may come before the council and "spress their opinion on the subject, and it is thought that at least more than one tax payer will appear before the city fathers to tell them what he. the citi- zen, thinks about paving streets against the will of tax payers. But there is no unusual excitement look ed for. most of the citizens are in fa- vor of the council having the paving done. and besides. the council can or der the work, the desire of the citi- gems and the veto of the mayor to the contrary notwithstanding.
 The council is becoming somewhat restless about the delay in receiving the report of the fire committee on the matter of combustible oils. being stored in houses is inside the fire limits. Nearly six weeks have passed since the
