Mr.. Williams thought that as there
was some questions of law which were
not settled, the ordinances should DC
recommitted and the committee IN IN
structed to investigate these questions,
Messrs. Burke and Snowden tho'is'i'
the best way 10 settle these points ~:s>
to pass the ordinances ana start ',,e
work and let an Injunction be bronsh'
against Council.
Mr.. Brockett read an act parsed by
the City Council in 1910 providing that
the sidewalks on Washington street be-
tween Queen and Oronoco be not laid
s:until the proprietors Of adjacent prop
0. t. pay to the officers their several
q ,sessments." He said that under this
ordinance though nearly a hundred
years passed the sidewalks were MOI
laid, aud no did not believe the assess
ment plan would work any better to-
day. The ordinances should be re-
referred.
Mr.. Marshall thought the ssessment
OF Sl.75, including the cost OF curb,
was extremely small and the ordinances
should be passed rs introduced.
Mr.. Spinks thought it only fair that
the property chiefly benefited should
bear a portion Of the cost.
Mr.. Birrell favored passing the ordi-
nances. He hal been as'onished to
hear that some OF those who opposed
these improvements opposed them be-
cause they wish the city to remain as
their grandfathers left it and he under
stood that some Of these opposers were
leaders in The Civic Improvement
League.
Messrs Burke, Swan and Snow1cn
believed the ordinances should be
passed rs reported.
On a roll call on Mr.. Williams mo-
ton TO rerommit. the motion was lost,

were pass, /. Ayes II, noes ,. (Messrs

ista soldiers is operating near Lam
pazOs, in this state. It was reported
that telegraph lines We're cut between
that city and Llanos de las Gallinas
about IS miles from LampaZOs, and
that the Reyistas had made visits to
the ranches Of San PatriciO, FL Sauz
and Alamo, property Of Pat AIilmo,
banker of this city.
When the news of attacks on these
ranches reached LampazOs, Colonel
Francisco NaranjO at the head Of so
volunteers, left that place for the
ranches.
It is said that Col Pena. chief Of
military IL the LampaZos district, has
ordered a detachment Of troops to
guard the long bridge Of the National
lines between Bustamante and Colon
drinas, as IL is feared it might be
blown up by the revOlutiOnists thus
cutting off railroad com munication
with Monterey. Col Pena also ordered
men to La Jaritas a station near NuevO
Laredo.
These reports. coming from Tampa
EOS, are the first to reach this city
OF any Reyista men causing trouble in

The rebels were encountered after
they had raided five neighboring
towns, taking from each a sum of mon
