THE COUNCIL MEETS.

A large amount of routine business, Encluding the adoption of building Regulation legislation and the pro- $libiting of parking cars at the north End of the west side of Central Park, Was transac cted at the regular meet Ing of the Common Council held last evening. A report from the commit Bee on renting conditions was heard
 The special assessor, hired by the city, from out of town to take up the matter of property assessments and Ehe adjustmen of the present figures lis evidently proving more and more &of an added expense to the city be- &yond that which was originally con- <templated. A request for two more clerks whose salary should be $1,500 &a year apiece was granted by the #council. The assessor, who was hired lat a stated price ($4.000 a year) and who was allowed two clerks at once seems to, be unable to fulfill the 8sarlier expectations of results from himself and the a1relpers. Three thou sand dollars, the added expense, is ! not much but the four thousand paid zthe expert, three thousand paid two 8of his helpers, and now three thou sand more is obviously ten thousand dollars for the assessing job, provid- l ed it takes year to complete it. The [sum is running into respectable fg- |ures for the job and there is no in dication that there will not be still more men required. Thus the clty's expenditures are added to, little by little, unnecessarily. The assessor IS getting a fair salary for doing his work let him do it. The ten thou sand dollars paid for the extra Wofk is in addition to the salaries Of the regular board.
 The adoption of an ordnance re- stricting the building of garages III residential districts was adopted with little controversy. The ordinance states
 that public garages shall not be built in
 2 locality where seventy-tive per cent of the buildings Wlllllll ct lduluo OA five hundred feet are residential. It
 defines the right of appeal from the
 building inspectors findings and coV-
 CTS the announcement and hearings on the subjects. There is mention ssof public buildings, such as schools, snor civic buildings, such as the Post Office and the Library. Presumably the inspector will act in his own dis cretion in this matter and the right of appeal of the property owner will still be present.
 There is little opposition to the proposal to prohibit the parking of Automobiles on the west side of the Park. It is only for short stretch from the north corner of Main street that this will be undertaken and will nrove necessary. The oneway trafhc proposition was not discussed.
 All other business transacted was of routine nature, none of it having been the subject of any agitation.
