Another Complaint About
Stone Chips in River
on River Street

Farrwels were exchanged and the Gus
tomsry reversion to stock jokes about
lame ducks, etc, was effected by some OF
the more irrepressible humorists OF the
administration at the meeting of the city
council last evening. It was the final
gathering before election and in the abb
senec of much else to occupy their time
the city fathers, those of them who may
not feel the axe blade until next year,
endeavored to console their less fortu-
nate brethren over impending defeat.
The demon, grip, kept Mayor Gordon
away from the meeting and Alderman
Glysson presided in his stead. The leave
taking was all over in few minutes.
In communication to the council, the
mayor submitted the following candi-
dates for grand and petit jurors and
their nomination was promptly ratified:
w. w. Russell, j. +. Gregory, j, Cay
hue, George W. Parks, James A. Field,
Mex bowers, {. n. Kenyon, H. n. Chen
ey William Mcdonald of Addison place,
S. f. Perry, George F. Howe and H. B.
Partridge.
Through letter left with the city
clerk, Willis f. Rowland voiced an oft
repeated complaint OF River street prop
erty owners concerning the practice OF
dumping stone chips into the river. 1t
seems that orders to cease dumping and
to clear the channel of grout that has
accumulated have been ignored much to
the disappointment of people who own
land on the marge of the river. The
street committee was instructed to in
vestigate. A departmental resolution
appropriating 800 for state highways,
$3.50 for streets, 81 $50 for water, $3.50
for fire and 800 for printing and station
cry was read a second time and adopted
