RACE RESOLUTION
MAY Be PASSED
Then Again, 1t May Go Over, as
Meet Closes Next
Friday.
IT ALL DEPENDS UPON
ATTITUDE OF MARTIN
Other Matters of Importance
Also Billed for Council
This Evening.

Ii the city attorney is ready with
his opinion as TO the constitutiouaIity
of the measure, the city council at this
evening s session may take up and dis
poso of Mr.. Martin s resolution directed
against horse racing.
In view of the fact, however. that the
races will end Friday, ii is extremely
likely that the movement TO abolish the

to his original declaration TO put every
councilman on record as TO gambling
The resolution went TO the municipal
laws committee after being laid over
week. From the municipal laws com
mittee it went 10 the city attorney.
without any report, for an opinion as to
the power of the city TO enforce it if
adopted. The council now awaits the
city attorneys opinion before taking
any action on the resolution.
Most of the councjlmcn are in favor
OF the resolution, but want it made
broader For instance. Mr., Ferpstrom
in it, and Mr.. Wood thinks that the
stockade ought 10 be incorporated III it,.
The council will also formally re
ceive and consider the protest of west
side citizens against the stockade. Ac
tion upon this matter will be awaited
with interest. The protest, in the form
Of a resolution, was gotten up at mass
meeting of west side citizens in the
Fifteenth ward meeting house last

If Health Commissioner DR.. NJ. e.
Stewart is present tonight. some definite
action may be taken upon the garbage
question. Right now, with tho usual
spring cleaning in progress, the garbage
is too heavy for the regular garbage de.
partment TO get rid of at once, and two
dditjonal wagons have been put on
for sixty days. DR., Stewart and sew
eral councilmen are of the opinion that
these wagons should be made permanent
properly at all times of the year. Others
arc of the opinion that Frank Raleigh s
proffer to collect and remove garbage
for a period of three years at $500 n
month should be accepted. The matter
will be threshcd out, or partially so,
at tonight's IS session.
Another immense public Improvement
will likely assume more definite form
tonight. The publication Of notice of
intention to pave Ninth East street,
from Brigham street south 10 the city
limits, brought forth protests amount
ing to only something like $50 feet,
while there are four or five miles in the
Improvement, but the ordering Of the
board of public works to advertise for
bids was held back last Monday night
ut the instance of Mr.. Black, who want
ed to look into the Improvement a lit
tie moro closely.
The recommendation OF the water
works committee that twelve sanitary
drinking fountains be placed in the
business district for the national en-
campment Of the Grand Army of the
Republic Will probably be adopted. The
cost estimnted will be $3.50.
