At a previous meeting of the council Attorney Greene hud stated that the enactment of nuy ordinance conflicting with any previously enacted document in validated the first created ordinance whether the later ordinance con- j taiued a revocal cfluse or not.) K. O. Magoon asked permission to erect a one-story building on the Isite of the one destroyed, made of frame, corrugated iron exterior, land made practically fire proof. , Referred to the projwr committee. The matter of. Richardson's gas franchise wnjs considered. The committee reported adversely upon granting the franchise and there was a bit of heated argument over the matter, The matter was finally tanieti ujon motion of Mr. Ieggett. Permission was granted M. P. I.oy to. lay a spur from the street railway to the brickyard provided that no objections were filed and the riglrt to order the same re moved at any time remained vested in the council. .The demand for the track was made by reason that a company was about to commence the manufacture of faced brick at the yards and the need of some I method of easy shipping was ap- j parent. Adjourned to Wednesday even ing, March 21. At the regular meeting of the city council Monday evening all members were present and Muyor King presided. Attomev Greene acted as recorder pro tcm In the absence of the deputy. Tie records ot several meetings were read and approved. Water and light committee (I.itid quist) reported that a new urc was promised for l'olk street and that work on sill the lights was being pushed us fast is jKiisible. The matter of the bids on Pitts burg, Salem and Crawford streets was then considered. Mr. I.eggett announced that he had found the bids of I. N. Tomllnson were lower than those of Bcchcl Brothers - but the bid being received twenty min utes after the limit of time was brought in bore weight. Mr. Dcchcl then explained that he had made known to TomliiHoti the fig ures he (, Hecliel) had put in: but lie had not done so till it was too late for Tolnlitisoii to file 11 bid. He had always understood that 11 bid filed after the reunited limit of time could not be considered by the council and he believed that the present course would establish a ireeedent for the eitv. 1 Mr. I.eggett, when he learned of the way in which matters had been conducted, was anxious to throw, out the Toinlins'Hi bid. Mr. Shields favored throwing out both (is because neither of them came within the ciigiut'cr's estimates, (t Was fiual.y decided that as none )f the bids came within the esti mates made by the engineer they should be thrown out. mid await farther action of the council. There Is n sort of an unwritten aw that n margin of ten per cent on any estimate snotilcl he allowed y a city in ligtiriug upon the esti mates of an engineer. This is to allow for any sudden increase in the price of labor or .'material. It was BETTER SERVICE. Alnin Issue Presented tiy Campaign Is Belter Water Service Anil More Complete Pirc Protection. Hvcry nominee on the Citizen's ticket is anxious that the water service of St. Johns be improved and since the fire of t week ngo there seems to be a crying need of such n course. There has been an interview with practically every member on the ticket and each one is anxious to have such made better and to have it made in a way that will meet the approval of the entire citienship. The mass convention was not one for speech-making or fireworks of ony sort. It was a business gathering mid the hundred people present seemed to take it for granted that the ticket there nominated would be composed of those who had the city's prosperity at heart. Nor were they doomed to be dis appointed: for there seems to be nothing in the way of the desired ud. haeh mid every nominee upon that ticket stands for Good Streets- Good Sidewalks Good Car Service ood Light Service - Good h'iic Protection- No Perpetual Franchises Improved Water Service No C01 juration Monopolies Public Ownership of Utilities- lust and Impartial Administration uml The same careful management of'i public affairs us is uiven to 4, ?irWfil imiMi.ra I Tint RicvntW is placed in 11 some-1 what dillicult position in the pres-' etil camp.iigii because one of Oie nominees is upon the staff of this paper: and whatever this p.iprr might say regaidiug the ticket us 11 whole 111 ty be construed to mean a bit of self-praise.
