Swift, Altpotor, Barrett, and MoAuley. , The first and only thing takon up was the com- munication of Commissioner Waller in response. to tho order pnssed Jan, 12 inquiring na to the xight of tho horso-railway companies to renova tho mud and dirt from tholr tracks to tho sidoa orguttera of tho strects, he Inclosing tho opin- fon of tho Corporation Counsel, which sot forth that thoy had no moro right to romoye it from tho roadways to tho gutters and allow it to re main thero than bad a private cltep, and ask ing, 04.0 way outof the trouble, that a prohib- Story ordinance bo passed, tho enforeement of which would bring the question into tho courts, Mit, JOSEP ¥. BONYLELD, who appenrod for tho railways, addressed the Committee, auying that ha had como to dofend the rights of property which were jeopardized by petitions of people who didn’t know exactly what they wanted, which petitions did not show on their face any particular grievunco, but do- sired tha Council to offect something of which the slaners hud only u very vague dea. Hodtl not think it was right that eltizons should he callod bofore a Committee of tha Council with: out buving amattor of this kind reduced to the forms of Jaw,—without having {t specifically Atated what was required. Ho asumed that tho Council desired to pravont tho horte-rullways: from removing obstructions from. their tracks, If the Committee were of opinion that the vom- panics, without arroguting to thomsclyes any superior righta over othur cltizens, bud tho right to remove obstructions, he took It that tho Comne mittee would not recommend any further aetion on the prt of the elty wuthoritivs, but would recommend that imattera of this kind be placed on tile. Ele then went on to show that Works sought to omplish whut was boyond the province of tho city; not only that, but that it was directly aguinst public polley, and, if the power existed, ft ought not to be enforced. Mr. Bontold sald tho opinion of the Corporation Counsel was common sense, He didn’t think unybody would, ucsdion the soundness exceptin one particulur, allway companivca had rights superior to those of ordinary cltizons on tho stroeta,—rights guure anteed by the Counoll and by tho Legislature of tho Btate,—not only rights, but duties to pers form adlffurent from those of individuals. Ho ounceded that the removal of the dirt from tho tracks to the gutters, heaping It up und sulfore ing itto remuln thoru, was Ineumbering the Btrecta,—an obstruction; and It could be pre- vonted if dene by the rane or anybody elso, The Corporntion ‘Ce tedid not sny that the count companies hid not the power—thut It was not their duty to remove the dirt provided it pre- vented travel; but be did say f thoy heaped ft 80 ng to be an obstruction they would be amine ablo wuder tho ordinuce, ‘Chat the computes didn’t claim they had u right to ao; nor did they want to do it. ALD. ALtreTEeR couldn't aco tha difference betweon leaving tho tad mone geueral beup, or leaving it in wmull Mr, Hontleld went on to bay that thoy did not desire to pile tt up at ath and to urge thut tho guthoritics were ucting under luws us well asthe oltiaons, and If it was within thelr power, or was their duty within the law, to compel ‘parties to remove the dirt at their awn exe pene, the Council should poss aun urdinunes requiring it; but, in the absence of any ord(iance, they ehould not exercise a re which thoy hud’ not by virtug of lw. the city bud a right to pass ordinances, but not such us would contiict with thuse winder which tho railway companies wore operating, ‘The only reservations #¥ to the corporations’ were tho right to regulate tho epeed und the time of run- aing the cars, and to compel the compunica to keep from eight to slxtecn fect of Spied in rood repalr and condition, There was nothing fo the ordinances which sutborized thy city to . compo} the sullways tg remove the mud or any ether obstruction from their trucks. If thera ‘So no contract rights In this direction, tho corporations must bo treated as others were, A Jnwas to those corporntions should not be pnascd. unless it applicd equally to othors. Tt was ead that tho companics were not doling tho just thing by the eftizens {nttot cleaning the atrects, Ho clatmed that thoy had done moro thin waa required of thom hy tho ondinanees and the law. haying removed the dust and diet, taken by ofhoraznot by them- selves, on thoir tracks, to tho sido of the strect, that the sity might take It awny, thus saving tho taxpayers the exponse of cleaning the apnee hee tween tho tracks. It was nasumed that the city. had tho right to allow tho mud to accumulate, If tho authorities performed thelr duty and ro- moved tho mud covery week there would bo no cnuse for. complaint. Tho companies had cer- tain righta which seemed to Lave been forgot+ ten, Ald. Altpotor sald IF THR COMPANIES WOULD CART OFF THE MUD thoy throw Into the gutters there would be no foriplane ae handling of tho mud mado it elr property. Mr. Hontiete stnted that, inetend of the city having power to prevent tha railways from ree moving obstructions from thelr tracks, the rail- ways had power, conferred by the Legisiature, tocause te be arrested, Aned, and imprisoned any person who Wibia es tacompel thom to leave obstructions on their tracks or prevented them from removing obstructions. As ovidenco of the beneflt the railway companies were to tha city, he anid that since the fire thoy had expended for repaira of atreots $970,768, and paid as taxes Fon.44, and tho West Sito Company, by reduecd fares. had saved to the people living over thore FTLGr in Nve years, Akt Altpeter belioved it was tho duty of tho Couneit to ses that the people, who were tho realownera of tho atreote, should be protected, Tf he had no right to throw mud in front of his polghhor‘s house, certainly 4 railway company had no right to put it in front of his house. Tho thing should be Stores The companies could well afford ta do what was right toward tholr patrons. On bis motion, amended by Ald, Rarrett, the daciiment. was sent to tho Law Department with finatritetions, if the city had a legal right to com pel the companies to romove the mud from the gutters, to send to the Cotncil a proper ordi- linueo on the subject. ‘The Committco then adjourned. BRICK. THE PRODADILATIES OF A FAMINE. From hints that have been thrown out recent= dy {thas appeared that thero was a probnbility. of a trick famine tn Chicago this spring. A TRINUNE reporter started out ona tour of In- spection among the brick-denlers of tho clty yesterday. for the purpose of learning the exact situntion, Several of the represontative dealers were seon, and thoy all agreed In ono story. This was to tho effect that there were about 4,000,000 tnsold brick In tho olty at present, although thore was what might be culled a big searolty, owing to tho fact that this has been nn open winter. and building has heen going on almost uninterruptediy since lost fall, and, whilo there wos a larger stock than usual in the city Inst fall, tho demand has iso been greater, and henco the depletion in KB, ‘ = Tho North Chieago Rolling-Mitl’ Company, wishing to extend its works, cust about far brick, It wanted ta fully complete its new en- tarprige about 12,000,000 of brick, and It wanted thon af n reduced rate from the regular price. It went around and picked up all that any of tho deatera wore will! ne to disposo of at £8.50, in this way collecting nbout 2,000,000, which will robably be ail it will need before tho new rick cones Into market. Tho munnfacturers reserved some of tholr stocks for tho accom- modation of reguinr customers, but will sell At $0 to Sl to whoovor desires to buy until thoy are closed out. There fa no doubt that tho North Chicago Rolling-Mill Conipany would haye taken every brick in the elty if it could have got then at its price, Hinyt & Alsip cinim that thoy have a miltion of brick on hand which they’ are_anxtous to Fell at $10. Dunn has only about 600,000 left, and ho would Uke to get $11 for thom. Should there bo any great “ boom" in brick thia spring, con- trictors would tid conalderable trouble In wet- tng brick. Tho manufacttirers also claim that Mt cost them fully $1.2) per thousand more to mnke brick Inst season than ft did the seneon before, What the prospect is for an abundant new crop and lower prices {3 hard to forctell at present; a good deal will depend upon lnbor. THE MEAICESTATR MEN, CONTRACTORS, AND ANCIIITECTS, who wero also seen by tho reporter, ovinced tho grentost alarm about brick, aithough ono repre- sentative of the firat-named business sald thera wus no cause for worry, us there wore brick prough in tho country, which would como into the clty and stop attempts to wet exorbitant prices. One mun, hoe stated. had advertised to dellyer Wisconsin brick In Chicago at $8.50, to ny umount. nother rent-catate deater and an architect had an iden that 815 was being asked for brick now, and another architect informed tho re- orter that (hore was not an unsold brick to bo ad In the city to-day, a statement that {4 not true, according to mon who have brick to sell. Some contractor .was most Hke- ly tho architect's informant, for the Int- ter in the course of conversation anid that he hud just ict a new job to n contractor, ‘but tho latter hud stipulated that he should walt, witil a new crop of brick bad beon harvested before he commenced operations. Tho archi- fects and biiidera scom to think that there Ig to bo 1 scureity, even after tho manufacturers commence to make new brick, and thoy aro clr culiting tho story that ntl of the fret kiln ha been engaged by those who are contemplating: lnrvo works, go that contractors for small jobs will have to watt untft the second kiln, and that tho building business 18 baralrsed. Tt toes not scom na though this etate of affairs ouuht to exist, with tho vast brick-yarda of Wia- consin and Indtane and Michigan ap neur by to be drown from. According tothe reportof minus facturors, every min who hoa ever been in tho brick bustness will enter Into {t agnin this com- ing season. TILE DOGS. BHALDL TH ORDINANCES BH ENFORCED?
