The 2'JiU session of tho city coun cil convened Tuesday evening nil be ing present except .Minor and Hunter The first matter for consideration was the remonstrance against .tho Improvement of South Jersey street wiin board walks. It was reported that tlio remonstrance would bo and that the principal reason for the remonstrance was that board Instead of cement sidewalk was to used. The council, on motion of Davis, held the matter in abeyance until tho street committee should Investigate and en (leaver to liiirinonlzo the Interests and put In cement walks. Petition for an arc light on Inter section of Allegheny street and WII us uouievnru was presented and on motion of Johnson was accepted and placed on file. A petition wns presented to change tho names of numerous streets tho city so us to make contlnous streets through tho city to fhe limits to avoid confusion and facilitate naming and numbering.

Alermnn Miller again brought up the question of a house for the city bubble wagon, Ho said ho had been otfered a lot 20x50 feet for this pur pose outside the fire limit for n eutal of 2 per month.

R. & N. as Was Stated Several Weeks Ago We were recently informed, or rather, misinformed, that the O. R. & N. nnd the North Hank Road had .set their plans nnd commenced the construction of a joint station at Mncglcy junction, and that the former road will not put in a station nt St. Johns. The report came so direct trom those iu au thority that we believed and not having time then to run the matter down we nave it publicity. Since then we have made inquiry and have learned that the Hill road has not made a tie-up with the O. R. & N., nnd has no intention so to do. Iu fact, their depot is tilaced where such tin arrangement would be impracticable. We have also learned further that M ace ley junction beimr the nearest ! point to St. Johns the company named tne station bt. Johns, instead of Maculey. North Portland or nnv ' t1lt ullllltnv llnliui fttttmii..1a station grounds are iu Portland ter j 9' to J- Tecliup; to erect rcsi ritory. The company was letl to tlo dence on lot 0 block 2 St. Johns this because they mitieipated the1 Heights addition, fronting on Stnf larger portion of their business I"0"! between Tyler mid Polk for would be developed in St. Johns, I Mnry T.

Ingledtie erect rasi stich time as the business would deuce lot 3 block y St. Johns Hts. warrant putting in a side track to "dditio'n fronting on Jersey between the water front. There wns some ' ''"Ik and Huchauan. tLjoo. objection on the part of n few nt ! .Maegley, who thought the station intends putting n line down to our water front as soon as the business warrants, it would evidently be to our interest to put the heaviest ton nage of freight on that road at our command. The O. R. & N. who promised us a depot and had the plans all f..-. ... 1 1 ... . .. . . .. Icriucicu mm iuu hwiicii 10 tile same, seems to have pigeonholed the whole proposition, It is 11 very poor way to win the patronage of n section of country. If we cannot get the O. R. it N. to put iu their depot, the only thing we have loft us is to make it possible for the Hill road to come on iu. If our business men would tet tonetheron 011 this matter they would be able to accomplish a great deal for St. Johns. BUILDING PERMIT8.
