The council set aside the rules this
forenoon and passed to its adoption a
long ordinance which establishes a
permanent and official grade at many
points in all the streets that are to
be paved under the paving contract
that was let last week. The council
found it necessary to hurry the adop-
ton of the ordinance so as to have
the grades fixed before the paving con-
tractors came to start work.
The council instructed Councilman
NJ. S. Mcfarland to purchase large
quantity of water pipe, valves, lead
and other materials for maintenance
