Dime creek, wslking tho way.
 Quite large audience attended last nights regular meeting of the city council but they were disap- pointed in finding that nothing of very entertaining nature came before the aldermen for discussion. All the counc1lmen were present and an swered their names at roll call, but apparently the memory of former Mayor Diamonds personality so in- delibly impressed itself on the mind of the city clerk, that he still calls his name instead of the present in cumbent Mayor Blake.
 There was no communication of any sort read.
 The City Attorney Hugh O'Nain stated that the delinquent tax petl- tion had been filed yesterday morn ing in the District Court, and hear ing was set for Saturday morning.
 Dr. Chace the City Physician re. ported that the work of cleaning up was proceeding slowly but steadily. Garbage notices had been posted and everything done to aid in. making the city beautiful.
 The Chairman of the Streets. Alleys and Light Committee, A. D. Poteet, reported work progressing favorably on the streets with some few places to be cleared as yet. Chairman Thompson chairman of the Police Committee reported one guest shar- ing the city hospitality in the local bastile.
 Chairman M'Allister of the Fire Committee stated that work clearing the mains on Steadman Avenue pro. ceeded apace, and they had been thawing them out since Wednesday, probably they would have them cleared by noon and they would then turn on the water from the pumping plant into the mains to test them for leakage or break
 Chairman Thompson as a special committee to investigate the pump ing plant stated that everything was in fine shape, the pumps showing a pressure of fifteen inches while the leak complained of by M'Allister ar last meeting was one had been in eA- istence since the erection of the pump.
 Chairman Rose of another special committee connected with the famous municipalization scheme of the mayor, asked for another week in which to make his report.
 The bills pursued the regular course, labor bills for the health, street and fire department being ordered paid under suspension of the rules.
 Councilman M'Allister at this june. ture rose to suggest and embody his suggestion in a motion to the effect that the city foreman be instructed to fire the whole bunch of employees he had at work, and give another crew chance. He said that there were others needed the money and should pass the job around.
 Councilman Thompson rose to eN press his opinion that the council could afford to leave this matter in the good judgment of the chair man of the street committee. There was no second to the M'Allister mo- tion, but in declaring it lost for that reason, Mayor Blake assured the mover that there were three members of the street committee Ct which he made one, and they would investigate tho matter before next Monday.
 Councilman Thompson stated that the bonds of the city treasurer Philip Murphy. the bondsmen being J. V. Sheldon, F. M. Aver. Downing, Con Kelly, F. M. Kisele, w. H. Webb and A. Polet, had been approved. as had also the, bonds of the city clerk, the bondsmen being c. J. Lomen and O. D.. Cochran, and he (Thonipsoa) then moved that the council approve same by vote. Roll call duly ap- proved the bonds.
 There being no further business on hand Henry Burgh moved the ad- journment which Thompson second- ed and the motion carried.
