held last week. at which resolution
was adopted condemning the placing
of bill boards at certain places in the
city adjacent to the city parks and
other places. and requesting that the
city council pass an ordinance pro-
hibiting the erection Of bill boards

last night, recommended that the

The communication was received
and the recommendations adopted, the
matter being referred to the general
ordinance committee to draft an or
dinance to cover the matter.
TO REGULATE GARAGES.
In communication from the board
of public safety was enclosed the re-
port of the chief of police and the
building inspector, who were recently
appointed a committee to investigate
the condition of the public garages in

a majority OF the garages were not.

considered as unsafe but the city at
torney advised that the board Of
safety had no authority in the mat

mended by this board that the coun-
ell pass an ordinance giving the
board of safety the authority to reg

probable that an ordinance will be
drafted to remedy the present con-

A number of the aldermen express

be granted. some OF them saying that
the council was under a moral OBJ
