1esaba Telephone Company Completes
Task Of Placing All Connections
from the ALLEYS.

The order given the Mesaba Tele.

to remove all poles from Chestnut
street meant an enormous expense
to the company and great amount
OF work. and while the company
has had been "on the Job" ever
since it is just now getting to

make formal compliance with the
demand of the council, having
placed all its poles and connections
from the alleys, the work being per-
formed in such manner as to leave
the service in perfect condition at
all times.
The appearance of Chestnut street
has already been greatly improved
by the removal of wires, but will
bear still more marked change in
appearance upon the removal of
the poles. Especially attractive will
be this thoroughfare in the even
ing, with its white way for four
blocks and no distractions to mar
the scene.

ORDINANCE. DEFEATED
Law Raising the License Fee to $1,000:
Suffers Setback at the Council
Tuesday Evening.

The ordinance amending Ordl.
nance No. 20 of the city of Virginia,
relative to the sale of Intoxicating
liquors in the city, came up for it's
third and final reading Tuesday
evening and by vote of six to
three went down to defeat, those
voting favorably to the ordinance
being Aldermen Kimball, NOLAN
and E. c. A. Johnson, while the op-
posing votes were cast by Alder
men, Boylan, Weber, Heritage, Staff,
H. O. Johnson and President o.
born. u
The reason for the vote was given
as a misunderstanding of the
amendments or a misinterpretation
of same as embraced in the ordi-
nance as given it's final reading, az
adopted and agreed upon at the
time of its second reading. A prop
osition to take the original amend
ment to Ordinance No. 20 from the
table was defeated by vote of four
to five, Aldermen Boylan, Weber,
Heritage and Staff voting favorably
thereto and Aldermen Kimban,
NOLAN, H. O. Johnson, E. C. A. John
son and President Osborn oppos-
ing.
There appears to be decided
favorable feeling toward the $1,000
license, but the ordinance as pre-.
scented did not meet with favor in
certain particulars. The city at
torney, in conjunction with the
council as whole, will now pro-
coed to prepare new ordinance
embracing the $1,000 license fee
feature, for presentation, but the
delay will let a number of those
whose licenses expire in February
draw a lucky card in the lottery.
An ordinance relative to the estab.
lishment of street grades in the
North Side Addition was presented
and upon motion received it's first
reading.
The report of the Park Board for
the term from Sept. l, 1909, to De-
cember 81, 1910, was read and &C.
cepted, and the white way, con.
structed by the Park Board and up
to the first of the year cared for by
that body, was formally turned ov.
er to the city for future care. A
vote of thanks was extended by the
council to the Park Board for their
efficient work.
| A communication from Judge
Carey asking for an apportionment
for the proper indexing of the cases
coming before the court in years
past was read and referred to the
finance committee with power to
act, the cost as estimated of such
work being the sum of $75. Such
work would prove of great CON
venience.
A petition from the Library
Board for the vacation of that Ger.
tain plot occupied as library site
was referred to the city attorney for
report at the next meeting.
The Library Board also asked the
council to assist by resolution in
securing such additional sum as
may be considered necessary tor
the erection Of proper and suit.
able library for the growing de.
rnands of the city, $4,000 being es,
timated as the sum needed, and a
resolution binding the city to an
annual tax levy of 10 per cent OF
that sum for the maintenance will
