council Inst night nnd Is now ready for
thu mayor's linuture.
31r. Coyne wanted to mnend the ord
inance by 1u!;Ihk 11 slice of tlw appro
priation for CamiPll I'ark but his effort
was unsuccessful. ,
Mr Chittenden, the father of the ord
inance, vigorously protested against
any amendment being tacked to his
measure. "Let us llx up Nay Aug
Park llrst and then turn attention to
other parks," ho said. "Nay Aug. lis
the park of the whole people, the park
that Is frequented by residents from
nil parts of the city, and, the only park
vlsitois think of going to."
Mr Coyne argued thiat the ordinance
was unfair ns it discriminated In fav
or of one part of the city. "It may be
true," paid Mr. Coyne, "that compara
tively few persons go to Connell park,
but that Is the fault of the councils in
not doing what thoy should do towards
making tho park attractive."
Mr. Sanderson followed with a criti
cism of -the '"curse of sectionalism"
n crlng that it Is just this sort of thing
that retards the progress of the city.
"Nav Aug Park," he said. ' is tho
city's chief park. It is patronized by
the wholp eltv nnd tho wlmln nitv l In.

Mr Kearney spoke in favor of de- apportioned nccordlng to the estimates
voting all energies towards improving ,
Nay Aug Park and Ignoring the others.
Mr. Fellows suggested that as only
$10,000 of the $20,000 was to be used the
first year that a $10,000 slice of the
balance be appropriated for a park on
the West Side. The money could be
returned to Nay Aug Park later on
he said.
"We'll take the other $10,000 for a
park at the Notch," broke In Mr.
Kearney.
HYDE PARK KICKED.
Mr. Fellows was the only one to vote
against the final passage of the ord
inance, Mr. Coyne lined up with the
majority, satislled ho hnd "fought a
good fight.
Other ordinances which passed third

missioner Thomas calling nttcntln to
the necessity of replenishing the fund
for the repairs of bridges and culverts
and a communication from City Con
troller Howell transmitting his annua'
report were received and (lied.
The proposition to have two Inspec
tors appointed to oversee tho work on
the Seventeenth district sewer met
with some opposition, even In the face
of an approving opinion from City So
licitor Vosburg, but after Mr. Schneid
er told of how two Inspectors would
greatly expedite the work and Mr.
ltoche pointed out that the city, solici
tor said the thing could bo legally

animously adopted,
IRREGULAR BUT URGENT.

Tho ordinance having been read, was
referred to its proper committee.
Tho ordinance creating the olflce of
assistant chief and tire marshal, with
a salary of $000 per year, which has
been evidencing sumo of the character
istics 'of Banquo's ghost at tho meet
ings of the common council during tho
past six weeks, camo up again last
night, but this time for llnal reading.
It was vigorously opposed by its old
enemy, Councilman Calpln, who stated
that he was still unable to see how the
department would be benefited by
abolishing the six district cnglneersand
substituting a single man, who would
cost more to maintain and who by the
natural laws of philosophy would be
unable to be In as many different local
ities nt the same time as the sextette
of engineers.
UNDERWRITERS' THREATS.
Councllmen Klzolman, Morrls.Tewkes
bury and Chairman Keller spoke favor
ably of the ordinance, tho latter stat
ing that agents of the Underwriters'
association had announced to him that
unless such oillce be created the Insur
ance rates would advance.
The commoners seemed very favor
ably disposed toward the ordinanco and
when It came to tho vote passed It by
a ballot of IC to 2. Councilman Phil
lips refused to vote, but gave no rea
son for his passlveness.
The ordinance ordaining that all
sums of money received by the park
commissioners from tho sale of privi
leges, franchises, etc., bo paid Into the
city treasury and credited to the gen
eral park fund, passed llnal reading.
Councilman Morris Introduced a reso
lution, remarking as he did so that he
hoped council would not delay lu pass
ing It, directing the street commis
sioner to notify tho Glrard Construc
tion company to remove their curb
stone from Providence rond and North
Main avenue within llfteen days from
date of scrvlco of notice, unless In the
meantime the said company proceed
with tho work of paving said road and
avenue.

remarked that the Glrard company had
been guilty of the most Inexcusable
procrastination and hnd added Insult
to Injury by openly boasting that thoy
can do what they like with councils
nnd get nn extension of time whenever
they pleased, Tho resolution was
udoptcd.
Another drastic measure was taken
In tho shape of a resolution directing
that the sum of $5 bo deducted from
the contract price of the Alcatraz Pav
ing company for every day the work
of paving Hydu Park avenue has re
mained, or mny remain, unfinished
ufter the expiration of ninety days
from the date of the direction given by
tho city engineer to' tho said company
to proceed with the work. This reso
lution also passed.
PENALTY WILL BE HEAVY.
The aforementioned order of the city
engineer was given to the company
early Inst spring and the penalty will
In consequence amount to n large sum.
Councilman Harvey handed In a
communication signed by twenty-five
or thirty citizens of the Thirteenth
ward. It was to thd effect that the
main sewer on Green Ridge street Is
not sulllclent in size to drain property
in that locullty and during heavy
storms overflows, causing damage to
adjacent property. The communication
was referred to Its proper committee.
Just before adjourning, Mr. Wenzel
stated that It would be opportune for
the council "to look to home" for a
brief period, as the mechanism of bis
chair waB so out of order that while
occupying It he could not enjoy tho
pleasure of facing Chairman Keller.
The Janitor was detailed to look after
tho refractory seat, and the meeting
ended.

WILL REOPEN MULLEY CASE.
City Is After the Original Antagon-
ist of Building Ordinance.
If the thing is possible the city will
reopen the case against Ambrose Mul
ley for violation of tho building ordi
nance, which was Instituted several
years ago but allowed to drop because
of the city authorities' fear of defeat
and a consequent overturning of the or
dinance. Judge Edwards having declared the
ordinance valid, the city authorities
are now disposed to enforce tho action
brought against Mr. Mulley. At all
events a suit will be Instituted to com
pel Mr. Mulley to remove tho projecting
eaves of the building In question ns
they extend over the sidewalk. When
the conflict begins It will be well worth
watching as Mr. Mulley Is nothing If
not a lighter.

Thoso of our readers who anticipate

tho largo crowds which will take ad
vantage of the low rates offered by the

Ontario nnd Western offers greatly re
duced rates on account of this celebra
tion, and It Is expected that they will
