Nj. Heinle, of the Board of Trade, ask
ed the Commissioners If they could
give some support in a base ball amuse-
ment, which he said was a great attrac-
ton. They wished to inaugurate the
game on the Saturday before July 4ih
and play for the season thereafter. He
said a committee of seven had been APP
pointed by the Board of Trade for that
purpose and agreed to maintain the
grounds if the city either built a grand
stand or put grounds in shape. Mr..
Laning also spoke upon the project,
supporting Mr.. Heinle and suggested
that that the location be Oh the beach
same as last year. Mr.. Ryan claimed
it was not within the power or jurisdic-
ton of the Commissioners to appropri-
ate any more money, as they had
already given the Board of Trade their
apportionment, and he did not see from
what source any more could be raised.
Mr.. Ryan said the committee would
have to look to the Board of Trade for
support as the Commissioners were up
to their limit. A communication was
read from the Board of Trade stating
that they were opposed to the building
of a new high school. Referred to
Board of Education. Mr.. Johnson, of
Johnson's Baths, asked permission to
cut the railing of the boardwalk between
Glen wood and Magnolia venue in
front of his place and build steps. He
was granted permission if he stood the
cost of same and they were approved
by the Commissioners. G. l.. Higgins
applied for a license to operate a large
telescope on the boardwalk. The license
was granted with the UNI
derstanding that he was to locate at
street ends only. The Mayor wa in
structed to have all signs or lettering
on the boardwalk obliterated and the
practice discontinued. City Treasurer
Kay was appointed to go to New York
to arrange for an opinion on the water
bond issue, and he and Solicitor Hand
were instructed to take up the matter
of the survey and title policy to the
real estate to be purchased by the city
from the water company. An ordi-
nance was read regulating the digging
up of streets, bitches or trenches, also
the moving of buildings on same where
posts are sunk to facilitate the moving
of same. A permit and fee is required
also a fine of 5000 for violation thereof.
An ordinance was read whereby the

fer of property from the railroads. An
