With Alderman Fred Fox. Mayor pro-tem, in the chair and but one al- derman, Ben Veil, absent, the City Council last night held a. two hour session, but little other than routine business was transacted The al- dermen were glad to get away early, Tor the heat of the evening was on- pressive and debate was not awarm- ed up because the aldermanic body lgufed that it would lift the ther- mometer higher.
 Alderman Wolff put crimp in the ordinance that would have placed a license on gas filters and plumbers. when the ordinance was presented for it's third reading. He moved to table it and it was tabled
 An ordinance, requiring the install iatlon and regulating of catch basins in livery stables, was read a third time and passed

 The City Council appropriated s25o to assist in making the fill on Pullen street near the Catholic cemetery.
 City Engineer Allen was instructed to repair the outfall of the sewer system in Sewer District No. l. The bank at tae foot of Louisiana street has been caving recently and the defect has given the city officials much trouble there in recent weeks. Until the government completes it's revetment work at that point the sewer cannot be permanently re- paired, but temporary relief will be given without delay

 The suit brought against the City yesterday by c. E. Philpot, in which title> to some city property on East Barraque street is involved, was re- tered to the Beard of Public Affairs and City Attorney w. B. Alexander. The council voted to resist the efforts of the plaintiff to prove his claim of possession to the property.
 The city engineer was instructed to survey Seventeenth avenue from Main street to Olive street, that the property lines might be located. This action is being taken in order to compel property owners on Seven- teenth avenue to put down ccncrete sidewalks.
 A letter from Mayor 0. E. Taylor, of Little Rock, to City Clerk w. A. Lee, asking that the Council apprc- priate $125 as Pine Bluffs share of the experse incurred by the Arkan- sas cities in the campaign for tae bond amendment, was read, but no action was taken. The matter was referred to Mayor A. c. Jordan, who is familiar with the matter, and. will be taken up upon his return to the city from his present Northern trip
