Proposed Ordinance Completed
as Regards Amendments,
but Not Read.
PAVING MATTERS SETTLED
COUNCIL ORDERS BILLS PAID
AND DOES OTHER BUSINESS.

Though city councilmen have declared
their intention Of passing the slaughter
house ordinance it has been delayed
from week to week Last evening il
was taken up and completed SO far as
amendments go, but when John HOley
wanted IL read, something that has not
yet been done. the council adjourned
without ceremony. the list of authorized
expenditures having been called under
Councilman W Mont Ferry's new rule,
which operates as a closure. This rule
provides that when the authorized list
IS called II takes precedence Of every
thing except a motion to adjourn, and
IS not debatable. This enables the ad-
ninistTation TO get through its apprO-
priations when it decides TO adjourn to
avoid debate
Before the list was called the blanks
in the ordinance were filled. A chief
inspector was provided at a salary Of
H1,500, and a bond Of $1,000 will be re-
quired from him. The number Of as
sistant inspectors vas left UnpTovided
for, and II seemed to be understood that
the inspector VIII have to work along
without them for a time. Their salary,
however, was fixed at S1,0s0 a year.
with a bond Of $500
