The resolution carried without debate
and the only discussion of any moment
in connection Herewith came when the
aldermen began to show various signs
of satisfaction over the South Main
street Job. Even those who counselled
DELAY when the mayor and few others
urged the Importance Of carrying on the
work this year went on record as being
pleased with the outcome Alderman
Healy explained that he had taken
stand against doing the work this year,
although with the job completed he was
glad to have it out of the way,
About the only other topic to be con
sidered, apart from a small accumulation
of routine business, was the question of
winter sports. Mayor dlysson. who ex
pressed himself as being heartily in fa
vor of skating Kinks. introduced the sub
ieet and it was decided that efforts
should be made to provide young and
old with skating. Gospel village was
regarded as one of the most favorable
sites for a rink and mention was made
Of the Ayers street trotting park and
The meadow on West Second street. Al
ierman Reynolds explained the Difficult
lies attending rink construction at the |
north end, although he suggested that a
rink could be flooded on Pleasant |
street with very little effort and out |
ay. Cognizance was also taken of the |
obstacles in the way of good rink at |
Ayers street. 1t was intimated that tons |
md tons of water were dumped into |
he park last winter without sppreciabe |
esult. Someone gave vent to the opin- /
on that the fence around the park would |
lot hold water. In the end the water
md fire committees were directed to take
uch steps as may provide the young
fers in three sections of the city with
rood skating throughout the winter
months. At the suggestion of President
Granger the restrictions in force on sew
raj hill streets last winter are to be con
inued and coasting is to be permitted
My in certain sections.

mayor, apparently, have inaugurated
