Aside from the es session, the
chief matter to enr s. ne attention Of
the reunited Ba. : 4ty council last
night was the blasting Of the 200 tons
of slate rock from the front of Shad
roui's store on Brook street, Mr. shad I
roui wants TO get a glimpse Of the main
| thoroughfare on which his store is lo-
Gated and perhaps he wants to extend
HE store front to the sidewalk any
way he wants to get the small noun
tain out Of the way and he's engaged
n. G. Mccarthy that's the alderman
from the sixth ward to do the work.
For years efforts have been made to get
this huge pile of rock out Of the vision
but the efforts have never got beyond
the paper stage.
Now the efforts seem likely to turn
into something tangible because Alder
man Mccarthy has str1ng leverage
whether it IL moving rock or swinging
sentiment on the city council
Permission to blaA out the 200 tons
Of natures deposit was not granted
without some earnest discussion on the
part Of Alderman McCarthy's col
leagues. The discussion hinged chiefly
on the question Of the safety Of prop
erty and life in that vicinity during the
blasting processes. A few OF the alder
men thought the sixth ward member
ought to Pit mp bond to protect the
city from residuary damage suits
should such there be. Alderman Me-
Carthy assured the council that he pro-
posed to stand the cost of damages but
he would Jack the job before paying
the assessment on bond
The upshot of the discussion was
tion that Alderman Mccarthy stand re
sponsible for damage done So there is
likely to be a belated Fourth of July
celebration in that bailiwick shortly.
Store front business had further die
cussion in the street committees re-
port in granting d. and H. liter per-
mission to extend a plate glass front
on the old King jewelry store, corner
