Sewerage Discussed

The adjourned meeting of the council Monday night did not prove so exciting as might have been expected. The point in the order of business at whjcb. the sewerage resolntion, adopted last week by the business men's association, might have been introduced had already been passed and no one moved a suspension of the rules for the purpose of reverting to it. The council and Attorny Norris did talk a little sewtrage, hoirever. The school board asked peimission to lay a pipe from the high school building on Thayer-st north to Washington and thence to the University sewer. It was proposed, said Aid. Wines, to allow residents near by to use tliis new sewer, if they desired. Aid. Mann wondered whether this arrangement wou'd prevent the city from taxing these people hereafter for sewerage. The general opinión was that it would not, as the school board would undoubtedly be willing at any time to turn the sewer over (o the ci!y. Alderman Martin was anxious to know whether the city would become Hable for any damages remlting from the pollution of the sewer. City Atto;ney Norris thought not, as the school board was a Corporation and therefore subject to suit. He added further tliat the high school was the greatest of its kind in the world and that any case of diphtheria directly traced to the bad sanitation of the building would do the institution incalculable injury Alderman Herz thought this might be trup enough, "but why does the board neglect the second ward school?" This difficulty was cleared up by Aid. Wines, and then the council voted to accede to the request of the school board. Aid. Allmendinger submitted a report from the water committee ordering the location of a fire hydrant on the corner of Chubb and Spring-sts, and the council concurre!. The committee to which was referred the matter of refunding $30 license paid by Mr. Rosenthaler last yearfortjilliard tables, reported adversely. He was the only man in the city who paid, all others having neglected to do so. The report of the committee was adopted. Upon motion of Aid. Taylor, the city clerk was authorized to ask bids for publishing 100 or 50 copies of the pro. ceèdings of each council meeting in such form that they may bbound together at the end of the year. AU. Mann offered a resolution providing that the city clerk advertise for bids for the sale of the pound on south Fourth-ave, that institution haying. in his opinión, outlived its usefulness. The resolution, after some discussion, prevailed. The pay of the firemen, pursuant to the report of the committee, was fixed as follows: First year men, $40 a month; Becond year, $45; third year, $50; chief, $70. The marshal was authorized to order the street railway company not to keep its cars standing on the side track at the barn, much annoyance having resulted, and also to stop its cars when a funeral procession passes on the same slreet. Upon motion of Aid. Taylor, the council ordered that the treasurer's report be printed in the official proceedings. The board of public works were, by resolution of Aid. Mann, asked to report the number of stone walks in the city, now four feet wide, which might, without great expenáe, be made five feet wide. Sidewalks were ordered built and repaired on several streets.
