Liberty street from one side of the lot to the other.
 /On the motion of Alderman P. F Brady former Mayor Frank E. Clark was given permission to temporarily obstr-lct Beers street.
 An interesting report was made by Chief Engineer Mooney to the effect that the large theatres were comply ing with the state laws but that the moving picture places were disobeyine the city ordinances with regard to exits, he citing some fragrant ex- ampies, and saying that they were badly overorowded
 The report of the finance commit tee on the monthly bills was accepted and they were ordered paid.
 Check Lost.
 The city auditor having reported that a check to the General Chemical Co. for $1.1 had become lost and payment on the same stopped a reso- lution instructing the city clerk to issue q new check was adopted.
 On motion of Alderman Walker I. P. Turney was allowed to erect a booth as usual on the sidewalk at Howard avenue and State street for few days around the Fourth of July.
 A resolution calling upon the board of police commissioners to enforce the ordinances against overcrowding at theatres was referred to that board.
 Alderman Paddock's resolutixn in regard to Webster street was adopted after a little debate
 He said that while this street had been ordered laid out over II years ago, the assessments levied and paid not shovelful of earth had ever been turned on the street. He thought that it was about time that something was done on this street. He was sup ported in his contention by Alderman King and his resolution to have the street laid out was adopted
 Alderman Clampett asked to have the time allowed far obstructing the Wall street sidewalk by the opera tions at the Connecticut bank ex- tended another 30 days, saying that this would surely suffice. Alderman Brady opposed this and incidentally remarked how the. contractors for along with one-half the sidewalk. Alderman H. H. Jackson remarked that this was not so as sometimes they occupied the entire sidewalk. Finally the permission was granted, Alder man Brady being the only one to vote in opposition.
 Upon motion of Alderman Walker votes of thanks were passed to MT. Russell and MT. Reilly.
 It was now 10:30 and the council was on the point of adjourning when MT. Russell dug up the report of the city attorney on the Park City Yacht club case laid on the table from the last meeting and containing a recom- mendation from former City Attorney J. A. Marr that the city should settle.
 This aroused considerable opposi- ton and it was finally decided not to adopt the report, but to leave the matter just where it is now, in the courts, and to have the issue fought put there.
 At just 1o.5o the table being de- ,lared cleared, the council adjourned for two weeks. This was the last ad- journed meeting until September.
