A special change in the manner OF
notices and advertisements for con-
tracts to pave and improve STREETS ana
sidewalks was emphasized by the au"
thor of the bill, that In future the
Council may require advertisements
for different character of pavements
and the final selection by the Council
of pavements or the kind or character
thereof shall In that event be post
poned until the bids shall have been
received"
This provision, 1t was stated, was
intended to prevent the city being
held up by monopolies of certain
kinds of pavement. for every maker
of paving material will have an equal
chance to come IN on the bid, the
actual choice as to kind of material
being the last thing done by the Coun-
Gil.
Also, there Is a provision In the
adopted bill prohibiting an alderman
or coupncilman from voting on any
question in which he or his employer
or employee has special financial IN
terest at the time of his voting, OF

election THE punishment for violation
thereof Is impeachment and removal.

balmer operates.
The bill. as originally intended. 1t is
understood. was to make preparation
of some kind for embalming in the
country districts where embalmers are
not to be found.
The Committee on Public Health also
held audience to delegation of drug
gists, composed of Andrew of Mont
gomery and Bingham of Admission, who
came In the interests of the new phar-
macy law. The pharmacy bill, sub
stantially the same as that now in the
code, was reported favorably after
the conference between the druggists
and the joint House-Senate Public
Health Committee meeting.

The hope Of nation sat down on its course;

Finally the Connecticut grew petulant; she

that slap. From the Kentucky, far down the

she was accepting her shame quietly. Then
