The negative votes were cast by Micelli and Joseph son, of the street committee. Thert were just seven councilmen in all present, and, under -the charter, it would have taken the affirtnative votes of al! of them to pass the measure;. Neither Micelli or Josephson ex plained their votes and there was n: comment after the result was an nounced. At the close of the meet ing. however. Micelli said. "To have passed that ordinanet would" have been a backward step. Besides, there was no excuse for pre senting it. The property owners hail four months' time to consider what width of parking they wanted before the council established the S-foot width. Then they appeared at nil eleventh hour with a petition fm less." Micelli'e vote was a surprise those councilmen who voted in favoi of the measure. When the ordin ance was given its first and secoin1 readings two weeks ago in open conn ell. Micelli stated that though he did mC think the property owners real ized what they were doing, he would hoW out agaiitvst them no longer. What probably caused his change of mind since then is the fact that quite a number of property owners have already built 8-foot parking frnmof 'and in a number of instances filled them Ln and sown the dirt wMh grnsF seed. One More Mock of Paving. One more block will be added to the paved area of the city this year if the petition of W. L. Dysinger. granted by the council, is not killed by a remonstrance from other prop erty owners. Mr. Dysinger asked for bitulithlc paving of the block extend ing along the east side of his planing mill property on Mill street, from the Moshor-Sherldan street jog to Wood ward street. His petition was no: signed by any property owner of the opposite side of the block, but it is believed that there will be nc protest against the project. The owners of two-thirds of the affected property prevail in a question of thU kind, and Mr. Dyslnger. in this in stance, owns one-half. In his petition. Mr. Dystnger im poses the condition that the cost of the pavinig Is not to exceed $2 per nquare yard, or 31 cents less than the present pavement costs. He specifies however, that the property owner? are to do the excavating and curb laying at their own expense. The city is to pay for the paving at the Mother and Woodward street intersections. City Engineer Hartong expressed doubt as to whether the paving could be obtained for $2 a square yard, but Councilman Micelli stated that it could tn this case; that he had bepn informed to that effect by Super intendent Speaker, who is in charge of the paving work now In progress In this city.

No further action was taken. To Paint Poles. First and second readings were tiven an ordinance requiring the uutnting of ail wire and light poles n the city and providing for a fine f from $5 to $50 for failure to do so. Ml poles at present employed iai the ity are 'to he painted within 90 days rom the passage of the measure and 11 new poles within 30 days after heir emplacement. Green is to be he color for the first nine feet from he grond and white from there to he top of the pole. Councilman Card well declared that he ordinance was unconstitutional, 'ex post facto," to use his own legal hraseology. "You're making it a -line." he explained, "to have poles npainted that aro already up." Micelli said this didn't make any ifference. becnuse the two corpora 'ons affected by the ordinance had onsented to have their poles painted. Coimiii(l4e Matters.

In discussing the defeat of the 4 '"ot parking ordinance for fin-foot "ropts this morning, Mayor Hoover presed no regrets, hut he said he ould liked to have seen the park g reduced to fi foot on streets run iiiing north and south, which some 'ay will bo required for street car "lies. Ho thinks, however, that 'those iroperty owners who claim that 2S 'et isn't wide enough for a roadway i the residence districts do not now what they are talking about ttd that they are ignorant of 'the onditlons In larger cities. To Rat ify himself as to the proper width if residence streets. Mayor Hoover Tok the trouble to write to engineers i s'-:ne of the leading ities of rthe orth !st. Of the replies received. e quote the following from R. II. '"hompson, city engineer of Seattle: "On our residential streets, where h ey are pa vert , we are making a rood many of them 25 and 2fi feet between curbs. The sidewalk Is G vet wide, the inner parking 2 feet nid hn outer parking 12 feet. Witt, arking between the sidewalk and he curb is nece?sary for tree plant ing, so that the tree will not lift the ridewalk with its roots." Knows lioscluirg'H Needs J. C. Ralston, city engineer of Spo kane. Wash., writes Mayor Hoover as rollows: "I advocate very strongly and am low preparing plans for a large dts riet to be paved, giving a roadway vidth of 24 and 20 feet. Thin in a "psldent district. In such district I would say. ordinarily, that anything beyond 2S feet is unnecessary. I would therefore very strongly rec :mrnerd a roadway of 2G or 28 feet In residence districts, knowing some thing, as I do. of. your city. Let the remaining width of the street In clude parking not less than 7 feet in width. lit Feet In Tacomn. From W. C. RaMgh. the city engi neer of Tacoma. Wa-h., Mayor Hoov er gets this information: "In our residence districts we are paving the e treats 24 feet wide, where there are no car lines, in which case the roadway is 48 feot. We throw all extra width of slreet in the outside parking spare, that Is. the space between the sidewalk and curb." II.UtKI.MAX (JAINS XTIUIj OF XKW YORK TEXTUAL (Ives Him Second Transcontinental Km I mud Ileal! Ii No .teller ii ml Will Soon Return. NEW YORK, Aug. 16. The elim ination of the Vanderbilts from New York Central lines and the complete ascendency of Edward H. Harrlman in the control of more than 12.000 miles of railroad comprised In that system is declared to be the next im portant move in the railway world. It Is reiwrted on what seem to be good authority that the Harrlmnn backers have secured an option on the greater portion, if not all. of the Vanderbilit holdings and will soon close a deal in the interest of the "Napoleon" of tho railway world. The option which has been obtained, It is stated, is on $50,000,000 worth of New York Central, which is to be purchased for Mr. Harrlman at $150 a sharo. The acquisition of the New York Central by Mr. Harrlman would give him a second transeontimentnl route and place in him power 'to make and to control ratoB of transportation which was not dreamed or a few vears ago. This power would extend o traffic east and west and also north and south, by reason of his control ef the Illinois Central. Wiiird's Health no Itetter. MUNICH. Germany. Aug. 16. Edward H.

Pa., Aug. J7. lliotlng was resumed today at the plant of the Pressed Steel Car Com pnny at SIcKee'a Hocks, where CO00 men are on a strike. Trouhle started when a striked fired on a river steamer heRring strike breakers to ho plant. The constabulary charged and dispersed the strikers, arrest ing a large number of them. The strikers are foreigners. Yes terday a mob of 11000 of them, mas sed to prevent a boatload of strike breakers being taken into the pressed steel car works, fired on a steamboat now Hieing duty ns a ferry. The boat was driven out lnlo the stream and the strikers - took possession of the company wharf. The full force of state troops rode Into the crowd, swinging their maces on the heads of the men. Shots 1 were fired at the strikers, and the 1 troopers then began firing with their service revolvers. The strikers retreated toward the river, followed by the troopers, who spurred their horses until hundreds were forced into the river to escape being run down. Nearly all of tho strikebreakers ure Americans. The boats carrying the men to tho plant aro mourned with galling guns, and the company olllclala say these will be used if the strikers continue their efforts to pro vent men being lauded. Hreaklng the strike is proving costly, for the company now realizes that o accomplish anything they must employ men who have a knowl edge of mechanics, and foreigners are not taken on becnuse of the de sertions of tho last few days.
