the matter Of putting in the cement
| sidewalk on East State street and for
over an hour the pros and cons of the
| financial situation were discussed, and
when the final yea and nay vote oc-
cured the council, with Mayor Shurt-
| left breaking the tie, refused to com
mence work next Tuesday morning, at
which time it was thought that the
| street gang would have the work done
on the gutter to the permanent road
| work. 1t was charged that the big
Four" had tried to prolong the mac
tivity on the matter until the snow
| flies, which was denied Aldermen Ma.
