In addition to the argument over the bread ruling of the Board of Health the city council last night dis posed of many important matters. The most interesting thing recorded during the session was the disallow- ance of part of the July bill of the Citizens Light and Transit Company, after a report had been submitted by City Inspector l.. r. TroXel, showing after a test with the new light test Ing machine, that the Transit Com pany was not furnishing the full cur- rent required of it by contract. That part of the light bill applying to the street arc and ineandescent lights, az gregatng within few dollars ol $500. was deducted from the bill, on ly $394.45 being allowed for July.

 Alderman E. A. ShepIard tried to induce the council to purchase SIX additional benches for the comfort of visitors at council meetings, but All doruen Fox and Hollis did not favor the idea.
