Quite A Tilt Among Members
Over Sidewalks
Mayor And Chief Of Police
File Their Reports


= and city prisoners finally took def
mite shape at Monday evenings
meeting of council, when the safety
director was authorized to prepare
: specifications for a new city prison
: with power to construct and the city
engineer was asked to prepare speci-
fications for repairs to the Third
ward engine house.
1t will be recalled that council de-
feated a proposition to erect new
engine house, although acknowledge
ing that the present structure was
badly in need of repair. Some time
ago, $1,000 was included in the semi
annual appropriation ordinance for
use in repairing this dilapidated
building. Hence, council is now at
the same point the body was after
the passage of the appropriation ordi-
nance.
In the meantime, however. the idea
of an entirely new building had been
aired by some councilmen and it was
only after the matter had been care
fully and thoroughly investigated
that council decided the proposition
was not feasible or timely.
Safety Director G. N. williams ex-
planned at Monday evenings meeting
that the first and necessary steps In
repairs to the engine house was the
disposition Of the city prison. The
mayor, he stated, refused to sanction
repairs until such a step was taken.
At his own suggestion, he was author.
lied to prepare necessary speciiica-
tions for new prison mad also. in
connection with three members of
council Messr. Weaver, Soclsman and
Dubinsky, given power to locate the
new structure.
Next the city engineer was re-
quested to prepare specifications for
repairs to the engine house and will,
him were named as committee
Messrs. Salisbury, Farrison and Nav
'er. Thus II seems that the bed-bue
. scourge which has proved annoying
to city firemen and diScommoding tc
council to the extent that new quar-
ters were sought, will finally be
stamped out
A little tilt resulted over the intro
duction of resolution OF necessity
for two sidewalks on East High stree
and one on South Main street. Tn;
resolution was carried up to final pas
sage, on suspension of the rules, anC
gave every indication OF gOinl
through. until City Engineer Blinl
pointed out to council the poor condi
ton of the curbing on South MaiI
street and urged that new curb b,
put in before the sidewalks wcr,
laid. This provoked considerable dis
cussion in which President BANNING
and Councilmen Dubinsky and Sock
man lined up in favor of the en-
gineer's suggestion. Councilman Du
binsky moved to refer the resolution
10 the sidewalk committee. Motion
lost.
Councilman Weaver was particular
ly Interested in the passage of tn,
resolution due to the fact that two o
the sidewalks were In his ward. II,
accordingly moved that the presiden
put the question OF final passage L
vote. His motion carried, Council
men Dubinsky and Sockman votinl
mo" and Councilman Mawer beint
absent, The same ratio existed ot
final passage of the resolution and I
was declared carried by Presiden
Banning.

Chief of Police Parker reported the
following arrests during the past
month:
Intoxication, 2S driving auto with
out lights, 1; permitting gambling in
pool room, 1; resisting an officer, 1;
speeding, 2; suspicion. 8; assault, 3;
pointing firearms, 1; using obscene
language, 1; vagrancy, 10. Total So.
Forty-eight calls were answered
and reported back to the office.
On motion of Councilman Sails
bury, the city engineer was asked to
prepare plans for the West Burgess
street paving and sewering. Council
men seemed favorable to proceeding
with these improvements, but we're
doubtful about the advisability of SO
doing owing to the fact that work
could not be started until November.
An ordinance to issue certificates
of Indebtedness in the sum OF $500
for the city's share in the Howard
street sewer was adopted. 1t was
later reconsidered, owing to the dis
covery of typographical error which
affected the issuance of the certifi.
Gates. BY the substitution Of 1915"
for 1915" the matter was adjusted
and the ordinance again adopted.
An ordinance was introduced ana
adopted authorizing the public SER
vice director to enter into contract
for the improvement of the Kokosing
river bank and channel.
Sixty dollars In bonds was asked
for in an ordinance which was adopt
ed under suspension of the rules. The
money thus raised is the city's share
In the Norton street sewer.
An ordinance was carried for the
paving of Elliott street from Sugar to
Hamtramck street under suspension
of the rules.
Corollary to the latter, an ordi-
nance authorizing the service direct.
or to enter into a contract for the
improvement of Elliott street was
also carried.
Fifteen city bonds, fourteen in the
denomination of $500 and one in the
denomination of $500, were awarded
by resolution to Otis & Co. of Cleve.
land, the highest bidders.
After 1t had been carried up to
final passage under suspension of the
rules, resolution declaring neces-
sary the construction of a sewer in
Pennsylvania avenue between Com.
promise and German streets, was re.
ferred to the sewer committee.
On motion of Councilman Weaver,
the city engineer was asked to report
a grade for Ringod street and the
city solicitor was asked to prepare
an ordinance for paving this street.
Councilman DEEMS moved that the
sidewalk committee be authorized to
see that bad places in South Main
street sidewalks are repaired. Mo
ton lost for want of a second.
Jay Peton of North Mulberry
street again appeared before council
| and asked for grade. He has beer
| ordered to lay sidewalk and is will
ing so to do, but desires first that q
grade be given him. On motion oI
| Councilman Weaver, the city en-
gineer was instructed to give grade
for this portion of Mulberry stree
that would benefit the property own
ers.

The president takes the hint, fiirts

first to stain the old gentleman's
proud record.

with a quantity of pansies and liIacs
shading from palest lavender to deep
mauve tones. Her flowers were mauve
orchids. She also wore lavender hose
and silver sandals with silver straps.
Another bride of that day at St
Thomas, Miss Grace Harriet Stone. now
Mrs. Sydney Miller Lloyd of Lynchburg,
Va. wore white satin gown, with a
satin court train bordered with ermine;
the kimono-shaped corsage was trim
med with seed pearls, and the lace veil
was bordered with tulle and held with
a trail of orange blossoms. Her bou-
quet was made up/of white orchids and
lilies of the valley.
Her three attendants were gowned
alike in short. full pink satin frocks.
with white lace about the neck and
corsage. and wore large white leghorn
hats trimmed with pink roses and
going from each hat to the one wrist,
where it was looped to the arm with
pink rosebuds They carried long
stemmed pink roses.
One point that every hostess of this
winter seems to agree upon is that the
entertaining of the
New York Beaux average young man
Well Scolded. mas mas npopsst popssd invest npodl
ment possible. For some unkno"H
reason the boorishness of the average
dancing man-that is, of the younger
set-has attained pitch OF snobbish-
ness. to use kindly phrase. that is al
most insufferable, and this among men
whose parents have certainly given
them every advantage OF SchoOl ana
home training.
Apparently there is dearth of eligi-
BILE young men. otherwise there could
be no reason for the attention paid to
these same young men when they pay
not the slightest heed to any social
convention, such as calling after an en-
tertainment or making themselves In
the least agreeable at either dinner or
dance. 1t was said that one of the rea-
sons why the cotillon was given up
was that the men would not ask the
girls to dance, that they preferred to
dance stag" as they call it, meaning
that they stood in solid phalanx at the
as they chose and with whom they
chose, saying that to take partner for
the evening was an awful bore because
it meant that one had to give up so
much of ones time.
The hostess of the present day who
attempts to introduce the young men
to the girls at dance is politely but
firmly told You will have to excuse
me; / really don't care to meet any
more girls" At dance last week one
young man who is considered extreme
ly eligible said when asked by his
hostess to be presented to young
girl: "Oh. excuse me; 1 really haven't
had a good chance to see what she
looks like: and it's an awful bore for
a fellow to know a lot of girls who
aren't attractive" This is absolutely
a true statement of the occurrence, and
there are many others of the same
kind.
To accept an invitation for a dance
and at the last moment not to go is
nothing. 1t is a rule OF the young men
to accept all invitations and then to
look in at the dance for a few min
utes. or to stay away if anything bet
ter turns up, without any regard to
the fact that they are causing to be
vacant places that otherwise would
have been filled by other men, leaving
the hostess with a lot more girls than
men. which is never quite the thing at
a dance.
