Closing of Contract With Railroad Delayed An
 other Week
MORE STREETS TO
 RECEIVE LIGHTS
Many Routine Matters Have Attention of Council
 Last Evening

At last night's session of the city council, the agreement reached month ago between the city and the Gila Val ley railroad, relative to the exchange of ground north of Bankers garden, was taken up and read, but as Councilman Van Slyek desired more tise to con. sider, the matter was laid over until next week
 By this agreement, which will proba biy be ratified at the next week $ ses- sion, the railway company transfers to the city the old right of way now oc- cupied by the tracks leading to the old Dominion shelter from Silver street to the Wedge saloon.
 In exchange the city grants to the railroad company a right of way along the opposite side of Pinal creek, the right of way to occupy part of the original line of Broad street.
 In addition, the railway company re- ceives permission to change the grade of its tracks along Pine street and also to construct steel viaduct across Broad street and Pinal creek at Bankers gar den.
 The railroad agrees to put in proper crossings and gutters along it's tracks where necessary and also to permit the attaching of wires to the viaduct across Broad street.
 The viaduct will be built high enough to give fourteen feet clearance above the established street grade.
 New Street Lights
 On recommendation of the street com mittee, number of lights ordered time ago were ordered installed at the following locations:
 Sutherland and Hill streets, High and Ash streets, East near Fegan street, Monroe and Third streets, Parker and Ash streets, Second and Maple streets, South Broad opposite the Whalley Lum- Der company yards beyond the railroad crossing, and Willow near Bone street
 These lights will effect material i'm, provement on the districts affected, par ticularly the southeast part of the city.
 Routine Matters
 The proceedings of the city board of equalization for the past several weeks were ratified last night, with the accept ance of the minutes of these meetings. The board will meet again November 23, to receive complaints r Charles HoldTen of the Majestic the ater protested against small frame she'd which hass been erected on Oak street, near that theater, claiming that the building interfered with the business of the show house.
 As it was shown that the jail eontrac- tors have the right to use one-third of the street for building material, and ce- ment must be housed to protect it from the weather, the council declined to take any action.
 The street supervisor was instructed to employ an architect and investigate the condition of the Majestic theater building.
 If this building is found unsafe, it will be ordered closed until placed in proper condition.
 Owen McKevitt asked permission to wait until the first of the year before installing sidewalk in front of tho Monte Carlo saloon, as the present ten ant will not vacate until that time and the construction of the walk will inter fere with the entrance of the building. The request was granted.
 James Frederick petitioned the cOun- cil for permission to erect stable on Oak street near Hill. The petition was granted on recommendation of Dr. B. G. Fox, city health officer.
 A number of residents in the neigh borhood of First and Sycamore petition ed for an arc light at this corner. The petition was granted.
