Called Meeting of Board of Aldermen
Last Night Failed of its
Purpose. |;

There was a called meeting OF the!
poard Of Aldermen last night for the
nnrnose of acting upon resolutions
| adopted by the Common Council at
| the regular meeting on the 18th IN
| slant for the Improvement of parts
(,of the territory recently annexed to
the city. One Of the resolutions ap-
nropriates $1,000 for the improve
ment of Franklin street to Patrick
and south on that street to hunting
| Creek bridge; the other approprlatss
s11 900 for the Improvement OF MT
| Vernon Avenue in Rosemont.
The object of the meeting was to
concur in the action of the lower
hoard in order to facilitate the pur-
posed work.
After the first resolution had been
read Mr.. Ballenger suggested that
an advertisement for bids should be
published in the Alexandria Gazette,
as Fairfax county was now engaged
in similar work from the tollgate to
the corporation line on Duke street
extended, and the contractors having
material, implemnts and men ready
! at hand, they might be able to make
tn improvements at lower figures
chan the committee on streets and the
city engineer. +
| Messrs. Brill and Summers fav-
ored the adoption Of the resolution
without the amendment suggested by
Mr.. Ballenger. They believed the
committee on streets and the city
engineer would do the work at the
lowest cost, as they had been doing
for years. They hoped there would
be no delay, as would be the case
! should the committee be compelled to
ask for bids. Mr.. Summers said the
city engineer had recently purchased!
/, tar for road use at a lower cost than
heretofore, and had obtained figures
!. FOR materials recently which showed
the city could purchase as low as any
one.
President Field concurred with Mr.
Ballenger. He, too, thought that bid,
for the work should be invited. The
/ city could, of course, reject any an.
all proposals if it was shown it cou!i
be done cheaper by the committe;
/ and the city engineer.
After further interchange of views
Mr.. Ballenger moved that the action
of the Common Council be non-con.
Cured in, intending, should his mo-
ton prevail, to offer an amendment
to the resolutions asking bids fol
! the purposed improvements.
| The motion was declared lost by
the chair, when Mr.. Ballenger asked
| for the ayes and noes. As the clerl;
was about to call the roll Mr.. Brill
moved that the resolutions be laid
over, it being suggested by the next
meeting on Tuesday night the COM
mlttee on streets might be in posi-
ton to make further explanations.
This motion was adopted and the
board adjourned. :

WASHINGTON. ID. c., June At
may be assumed that all who advo-
cate legislation for the restriction OF
the sale of intoxicating liquor re-
gard its use as an evil. The unanim
ity OF the sentiment against liquor
traffic is shown by the fact that in
every state in the union there are
laws prescribing conditions under
which it can be sold-sale 10 drunk
ards and minors being everywhere
prohibited.
Where liquor IS sold al all the ten
denCy OF public opinion is every
where toward greater strictness in
the regulations. Sale Is now gen
orally prohibited on sundays, and
the hours are gradually lessened. In
Nebraska the saloon opens al I in
the morning and closes at S o'clock
In the evening. In some states the
hour OF closing is even earlier.
