Councilman Paonessa said he has already written to Congressman Lonergan about the prices and he thinks the city’'s report should be fowarded to Washington. Chestnut street property owners were \given permission to withdraw their petition asking for the with- drawal of authority to widen the street for double tracking. The com- pany’s check for this work has been received so it is too late for the property owners to back out, ex- plained Alderman Christ. Previous Rule Revoked. Upon the arguments of Alderman Christ and President Humphrey, the council voted to rescind a previous rule which made it necessary for the | board of public works to do its street work in the order laid out. Under the old rule much time was lost jump- ing from one section of the city to the other when work in the same dis- trict might be done more cheaply as well as quioker. Paonessa Is Incensed. Councilman Paonessa, in a petition objected to the use of brown sand by the contractors instead of Plainville sand and Alderman Christ moved that it be definitely postponed.

Jester, et al, petitioned for larger lights to be established at three different corners in the south- eastern section of the city. The loca tions are those the second ward dele- gation picked out on their trip of in- spection. Alderman Jester moved to take the matter up with power. ‘Wil Install Light. Regarding the last petition, Alder- man Lawyer expressed the opinion that as there are complaints being received from all over the city he thought the matter should be taken up more thoroughly, covering the en- tire city. President Humphrey, of the board of public works, explained that the lights asked for by the sec- ond warders are already being planned by the board and if- the petition should be held up until the middle of next month the lights will be installed. It was referred to the board to report back, The city comptroller was instructed, on the report of the finance commit- tee, to pay Baker & Lasher $397.63 for street department work and to pay the Edwin Ellis estate $1,000 and Blanche Goodwin $500 for damages resulting in the street improvements on Stanley street.

After further legal investi- gation this matter will be reported at the next meeting. It was voted to l a fire hydrant in Booth alley and of August Klambt et al for a light on Columbia street at ‘Griswold street; that property owners be ordered to repair defective sidewalks oa or be- fore September 15, and if it is done the board be authorized to do S0 at the property owner’s expense. Adopted. The committee on ordinances recommended that no further action be taken on the resolution to provide a space of one-half an inch between flags in laying flag walks, as it is already covered in the ordinances. Adopted. The same committee recommended the creation of the offices of assistant sanitary inspector and clerk of the public health de- partment needs no further action by this committee, but they recommend that the matter of fixing of salaries be referred to the salary committee. Adopted. Invited to Town Home. . The board of charity commissioners invited the ' council to visit the town home at such time as it sees con- venient. Accepted.

The cost of these operations will be about $7,000 or $8,000, Alderman Lawyer's resolution ask- ing that bags be used by the street sweepers to prevent the waste from being blown about the streets, was adopted. ‘Will Look Into High Prices.

The board of public works was in- structed to fix up Stanley street un- til the permanent paving is begun, and this board was also requested to change the location of lights on Chestnut street near the crossing and to give an account of the cost of i grading North Burritt street. The matters of a longer arm on a Beaver street light and an angle iron on the | Washington street bridge were re- ferred to this board. On the request of the city fathers the mayor will appoint a committee of five to look into the smoke nuisance.

How Many Times (:an Gass of Beer B¢ Imbbed? —_— Long drawn out and tedious were the three small cases in police court this morning and the only interesting moment was when Prosecutor Andrew asked Steve Landi, of Newington, If he was drunk when Officer John Carl- son arrested him in the Center church vard last night. “No, me no drunk,” said the ac- cused. | “Well, you had been drinking, hadn’t you?” queried the prosecu- tor. | “I had only one glass of beer, just one,” explained Steve. i “Well, now how many times did you drink that one glass of beer?” persisted Prosecutor Andrew. Even the judge smiled at this re- mark, made by the prosecutor in l,"’ innocence. Landi was fined $5 and costs drunkenness. Swanson Gets Probation. Swan Swanson of 33 Lyon street was placed on probation for three months by Judge Mangan. Swanson admitted that he was drunk last night and created a disturbance at his home. Mr, and Mrs. Morris Johnson, who live in the tenement under him, testified against him, and his wife acknowledged that her husband is ugly when drunk. Officer Bachman arrested him last night after two com- plaints had been made by Mr. John- son. for Still Wants His Beer, In announcing his decision, Judge Mangan told Swanson he had better cut out drinking. “Then does that mean that I can't even have a drink of beer?” pleaded Swanson, as his countenance dropped. “It does If you can’t have one with- out getting ugly and disturbing every- body,” emphatically said His Honor. | “Well, it'seems to me that I ought to be able to have one beer after I work hard all day in the shop,” wailed the accused. However, he promised (o be good in the futu Hubby and Wire Fight. Because Peter Polester ordered his wife to pay the boarding boss $25 for her clothes if she was going to leave him and she refused, there ensued a battle royal. Mrs. Polester broke an umbrella over her hubby's head and he in return shoved his knee into the pit of his wife's stomach with great force. As the case seemed to be one in which both were at fault Judge Mangan continued it until bringing the total number of g rantined cases about the city up eight. Today's cases are at 18 ford avenue and 107 Rhodes st There are two cases of diptheria Rhodes street and two on Hi ford avenue and one on Bro street. Washington street has o case of scarlet fever and there a |cases of typhoid fever on and Broad streets. R. H. Crawford, of the Boye' elul wil) speak at the South chure prayer meeting this evening.
