She turned with a start and stared

CITY COMMISSION
SALARY ORDINANCE PASSED
THIRD STREET INTER-
SECTION.

The city commissioners met again
last night in adjourned meeting, to
act officially on the ordinance COW
ering the levy of city money. This
being the second reading of the
amended ordinance, was passed in
due form. Informal talk was indulg-
ed in concerning the intersection at
Third street N, and the heighth of
the walks along the thoroughfare.
1t appears that they consider the
walks and bank so high as to make
it a menace for the formation of deep
snow drifts in the winter time, and
most difficult of navigation for foot
passengers. No steps were taken last
night to mend the condition, but ii
was agreed that the commission and
engineer should view the site tomor-
row morning, and decide what to do
in the matter.
