HOCTOR GETS THE GRADING BONDS Contractor Who Did the Work om Twenty-Seventh Street Takes the ne to Pay as His Compensation. Monday night's session of the city coun- ¢l was a very tame affair. Very little business was transacted outside of the regular routine. Through W. C. Lambert, attorney, the Interstate Independent Telephone company accepted the franchise granted by the city and the communication was placed on file. August Miller, at ome time acting as street foreman, put in a claim for wages and horse hire, which was referred to the finance committee. The council advertised that it would aue- tion off the bonds for the gradi of Twenty-seventh street. There was only one bidder, Thomas Hoctor, who did the grading, and his bld was accepted at par. When it came to the passing of an or- dinance for the laying of wooden sidewalks on Twenty-seventh street Adkins wanted the ordinance held over, as he claimed that permanent sidewalks should be laid. The ordinance was referred back to the street and alley committe and it may be that there will be a change in the original plans. The November salaries of the counciimen were allowed and a few minor claims passed upon and then the council adjourned until next Monday night Contrary to expectations the ecity coun- cil 414 not take any action on the proposed closing of the Q street viaduct, neither did it take any cognizance of the complaints made about the vile odors from the pack. ing houses. It was reported that some ac- | tion toward appointing a charter revision committee might be takem, but to the surprise of those interested the council adjourned without any member bringing matter up.
