Mos, the newly appointed lerk of the police court, submitted its re- port. It was adopted by a close vote. Munro, Wheclerand Howell of the committee reached | the conclusion that Mr. Mos is mot o fit person for the position and recommended that the appointment be rejected. Mr. Has- call, th ourth member did not sign the report possible for him to be present at the meet- ings of the committee, and he refrained from voting. Nelither did Mr. McLearde, the fifth member, ns the report did not meet his views and he considered Mr. Mos innocent of the charge made Before tho vote on the adoption of the report was concluded there were many ox- planations of votes by members. Those voting in tho afirmative were: Back rds, Howell, Jacobsen, Munro rer, 1 and Wheeler. In the negative: Bru: sser, McLearie, Prince, Saunders, nd Thoma becanse it was im- Specht Vetoed a Paving Ordinance. The greater part of the session was taken up inconsidering a large number of vetoes from Mayor Bemis. The first and most iu- portant was that. of an ordinance orderi the improvement of Twenty-first strzet Burt street to Izard street, for the re: that a protest has been filed by a numby the signers of the original petition asking for such javing to be done, and also for the T 1 that it is claimed by a number of parties who signed the original petition that they did so under a missapprehension of their rights and upon the sta : unless they designated the material they desired used for paving the city would pro- ed with the paving regardless of thei: erence of material. Also for the i r n that under the recent dec supreme court it is necessary petition should be presented by the proper owners owning a majority of the feet front- age without any condition. In order to full, protect the city and prevent the cost of puv- ing being put upon the city, he belicves that petitions for poving without condition or qualification should be first submitted before the material is designated or the paving is ordered to be done. Such { petitions, as he has advised, have been prepared by the city attorney, with the approval of the city enginecr and ch man of the Board of Public Works. While mayor is desirous thut such paving as is to be doneduring the present year should be done without unnecessary delay, he believe: there should be sufticient caution, in v the recent decision of the supreme court wiil fully authorize the special assessment necessary to cover the cost of doing all pav- ing except intersections, The veto was sustained. he mayor also vetoed the ordinance order- the pavement of Cuming street from Twenty-fifth avenue to Thirticth strect for the same reasons as prompted the Twen first street veto. This veto was o S tained, as were the vetoes, for the sons, of the ordinances ordering the paving of Nincteenth street from am to Dodge, Dodge street from Twenty-sixth street to Twenty-seventh avenue, Cuming, from Thartieth to Thirty-second street, and Si teenh street from Farnam to Howard. Cut Out Mrs. Tusler's Judgmeut. Mayor Bemis vetoed in_the appropriation ordinance two items in favor of herine H. Tusler, one for $603.50 and the other for 84 amount of principal and n- terost of a certain judgment in favor of Citherine H. Tusler for taxes paid on ac- count of opeding Park avenue. A number of Judgments are standing against the city as nuch entitled to immediate payment as this one. If such judgments were to be in any manner oxcept out of the spec fund to be created for the purpose of paying the same, the judgment fund and the gen- eral fund, well, would be entirely ox- hausted within the next thirty days. It was contenaed by Hon. A. J. Poppleton, as well as Mr. Connell, ¢ all clgims or judgments against the city which might be paid out of a special fund should be paid ouly in that W The mayor advised that the mat- ter of making a special ment to cover the cost of opening Twenty-ninth avenue is pending before the council, and the same will be consid- by the council when it next aboard of equalization. As demon- the danger of payi claim out general judgment funa, or genc 1d out of & speci s been advised by ity attorney that the question was raised and argued before the district court today as to whether the city has any lega ) right to make an assessment to cover the cost of an improvement for which the has already been advanced . It is contended by counsel against the ¢ity that such an ass ment would be unauthorized, and w merely for the purpose of reimbur: city treasury, for which there is no author- ity in law, in place of an assessment to cover the cost of an authorized improvement. While the mayor would be glad to take such action as would enable Mrs, Tusler or any other taxpayer to obtain prompt relicf, he could see mno other way than to take the course indicated for the protection of the city. The veto was sustained. Tor the same reasonsa similar claim, amouuting to £00.19, in favor of Louisa Van Cott was vetoed and sustained, Too Many Dead Dogs. Another veto was the claim of Newton Niday, amounting to & for 1 dogs removed during the month of May. The mayor thought that a good many canines to be removed in one month, in view of the fact that the poundmaster had di: posed of seve hundred during the same period. He-desired the claim looked into. The veto was not sustained, Mayor Bemis called attention ina con munication to the nocessity of an ambulance for the use of the city, and urged the pur- chase of one. Referred to the committee on pol L Mayor Bemis submitted the notice of the building inspector calling attention to the smoke ordmance. The nayor suggested that steps be tuken to provide the city hall boilers with smoke consuming devices. The communication was referred te the commit- tee on public propérty and buildings.

A resolution was adopted empowering the Board of Public Works and city engincer to repuir the washouts aud breaks in the sewers made by the recent storm, Deeds, dedicating a portion of Poppleton avenue, from Thirty-third to Thirty-fourth street, and Thirty-fourth street, from Pop- pleton to Woolworthavenue, were approved, An appropriation of #,000 was made from the general fund for the use of the street strating of the fund wi fund, he s BTATIONS. 0 b Platte eatine.
