Import of the Resolution Passed at the Meeting Last Night—The Mayor and Public Works Must Concur, Unanimous City Solons, The small rfumber of people who had the temerity to venture out in the storm last night to lend their presence to the proceed- ings of the city council were treated to an en- tertainment that lusted for one hour and a half, and witnessed another juggling act in the vexatious city hall building matter, Fif. teen of Omaha's solons responded to their names when the clerk called the roll, and quickly settled down to business, The market house ordinance, as returned by the committee, was first taken up and read by the city clerk. The rules were sus- pended and the ordinance was engrossed 1o be read for the third time on Tucsday even- ing next. Councilman Lowry introduced the tfollow- ing resolution and asked that it be adopted Resolved, That the board of pub- liec works be and hercby is di rected to uotif, Regan Brothers to proceed with the completion of the work under their contract for the construction of the bascment of the city hall, and the said Regan Bros. are hereby required to procecd with said work and compiete the same with- out delay. Councilman Kaspar asked if there were any communications from Regan ros, or Brennan & Co. regurding the matter, Mr. Lowry hunded 1 the appende Omaus, Dec: 10.—To the Honorable the Mayor and City Council, City of Omala, — Gentlemen: We hereby agree to lower the east wall of the city hall building to the point immediately above the ¢ I r.

Mr. Lee asked City Attorney Webster what effect the anuulting of Regun Brothers' contract, and they not being the board of vu works and the city engin eer, would have upon the city if they contin ued on the work.

It was represented to me that Regan Bros. had defaulted fn the work on the bascment and were willing to_ubandon the sume and waive all claims for damages against the city on the basement contract.
