Discussing the ordinance TO nave
TaTragona and Palafox streets for
nearly an hour, only to cease about
where the proceedings commenced.
the City Council last night held a ses-
sion OF nearly three hours. during
which time several ordinances were
passed, few introduced and others
advanced on reading. The meeting
was devoid Of interest, excepting the
discussion on paving the two streets
above named. Alderman DeSiIva en-
deaVOTed TO amend the ordinance on
its second reading by limiting the
class OF paving to viJriied brick on
IarragOna street, and requiring the
use of the old material in paving PaIa-
IOX street His amendment was de-
12ated by a very decisive vote Alder
man Renshaw went a little further in
endeavOTing TO block the paving on
this street by introducing an amend
meut requiring that tHe old brick
paving be only repaired and apDrO-
pTiating out of the city treasury the
WhCTCWIthaI Tor this purpose. He did
not even get second. Alderman
Bear succeeded better than the two
preceding him, but stopped reading his
amended ordinance when in about ,-.e
middle Of IT., by reason of Interrupt
tionS by Alderman Williams, who
claimed the rules OF the council were
not being complied with. The orGl-
nance as amended allows the board OF
works TO call for bids for paving Tar
raEOna street with any class OF mate
rial and for the Tepaviug Of PalaTox
street with the old material will be
brought up at the next meeting.
