CITY COUNCIL
There was a warm time for a few
minutes at tbe eouucil meeting lues
day evening,
Anderson 4 Toft, realty dealers and
suburban tract promoters, submitted
a plat of an addition on the V
Slue Ji st opposite to the resiatnoe
of E. N. Warner for the approval ol
tbe council so tbat tbe lota to be
arid eould be described by lota and
blocks. Tbe promoters gave a street
between Flftn and Seventh aixty
feet wide, but did not aee bow they
oould give a cross street 1U6 feet
long, where Sixth street ought to be
Now the oounoil probably would bave
been unanimous on tbat point bad
sixth street been a thoroughfare, but
suob Is not tbe oase. Tbe street la
not open on eltber side of the tta t
and on tbe East side It would be im
possible to open tbe atrest without
condemnation proceedings of a cost
ly nature for a fine aew dwelling Is
In tbe way.
Tbe City Engineer refused to re
oommend tbe ptaa from aa engineer
ing standpoint, He said tbat tbe
street would have to be lo there be
fore be oould oonsoienslously reoom-
mn tbe adoption of tbe plat
Coonoilman Elf art, Merrlok and
Wort man backed him op and tbe plat
was tabled, but not nutll after a
stormy soeoe between tbe Engineer
and Hater.
11 afar stated that be did not be
lieve It waa right for toe City Engi
neer to bold np such a matter. He
delated It was prejudice. Tbe City
Engineer stated In forcible tones
tbat it was not They proceeded to
put more vim Into tbe matter, but
finally citizens offered their vlewe
and Rater and Osgood subsided.
Ids Inaident waa oiossd for tbe eve
ning by the tablinsg uf tbe matter.
Counellmen Trowbridge and Hater

Toe oounoil met in special meeting
Wednesday evening to consider tbe
matter. Tbe ball wa waa started

The result waa a tie. Hater, Olwell
and Trowbdge voting no, Wortmao,
Merrick and Elfert voting yea. Tbe

Then tbe discussion began again.
Engineer Osgood again offered bis
objections to tbe plat He stated
tbat be based bla refusal to recom
mend upon tbe ground tbat It waa
not beet for tbe city to aooept plats
without every street aooounted for,
He spoke at some length and was an
swered by Mr. Toft, one of the men
owning the property.
At length Councilman Trowbridge
moved to adopt the plat and Inatruut
the City Engineer to affix his signa
ture. Here it waa that City Attorney
Wltolngton read tbe law on tbe mat
ter. He stated tbat It was six of one
and a half dozen of tbe other wblcb
ever way tbe matter went, for tbe
promotera of the tract oould tell tbe
property by metes and bounds In
stead of by lota and blocks so It was
not so very Important after all
Troworidge, Owell and liafer voted
yea. Merrick Wortman and Elfert
voted no. Tbe Mayor'a vote waa In
favor of tbt resolution and tbe plat
waa aooepted. Tbe city's abip of

stated tbat he la to proceed Immed
iately In improving tbe tract. He
contemplates a fiuereeidenoe for him
self and aaya that other partlea will

should be decided regardless of
