The members of the city council got to- gother 1ast night and io less than an hour they had straightened out the curbing or- dinance, so that there is a strong probability that curbing will begin ere many days. The ordinance as originally introduced provided for white Colorado sandstone. Mr. Lowry moved an amendment to substitute red for white Colorado sandstone, Mr. Specht said that it the white stone ‘went red should also go and let the ordinance provide for simply Colorado stone. The matter should be left to the property owners along the streets. Mr. Lowry replied that the contractors had bid 58 cents on the red and 63 cents on the white stone. All he wanted was to have the contract let to the lowest bidder. City Attorney Connell was called for. He sald, to avoid any legal complications, he considered 1t wise to take tho red stone bids. The matter was wholly in the hands of the council, Mr. Lowry sald that the Union Pacifio and the B, & M. railroads were the kickers. Mr. Specht clung to the opinion that if the property owners wanted granite for curbing they should have it 1f they were willing to pay the prices, The word *‘white,” as applied to Colorado sandstone, was strioken from the ordinanco and as amended it passed. The Board of Public Works was then instructea to make a contract with the lowest bidder at the former letting. This means that Hugh Murpny gets the contract, amounting to avout 28,000 feet at 58 cents per lineal foot. The ordinance providing for the appropri- ation of money to purchase the park lands was passed. The ordinance providing for the payment of the expenses of tho recent special eloction was read a third time and passed, City Attorney Conuell fnva as his opinion that registrars were entitled to $3 per aay, or $9 for their entne service; that judges and clerks of election were entitled to §6 each, in this case, by agreement ome-half was paid by the county. 7 The Items of expense in the ordinance were as foliows: Special police, $282; regis- trars, $2,810: judges, §1,317; clerks, 8528; rent for registrars, $854; rent for election, $380; total, §5,180, Mr. Munro urgzed if judges and clerks were to receive such small compensation it would be impossible to get men who would serve at fulure elections. City Attorney Connell replied that 1t was something that be could not help, he being unable to change the state law. The mouthly appropriation was read a third time und passed in order to allow the city employes to securg yheir June wages be- fore the Fourth of July. | ‘The report of the chdi*man of the board of equalization was dueJbut Chairman Munro said it was not ready, Thew Mr. Munro agent of the M.
