Quito a- warm discussion wns hold for moro than a half hour at tho meeting of tho city council last night ovor tho grading of upper Broadway, Cedar and C streets, which resulted in Contractor Burns being granted an oxtonslon of ninety days In which to comploto tho work called for in his contract. Contractor Burns complained to tlio couucll that tho waterworks com pany had interfered with tho grad ing by leaving opon Its ditches and flooding tho streets so that bis mon could not work. Ho also complained that tub soworago pipes wore not deop enough in the ground, and that to making tn gradoa tho pifiM fcad been uncovered and were causing a nuisance which would bo hard to overcome. The time called for the comple tion of tho contract has expired, and ho asked that ho be given more time, because tho waterworks had interfered with his work during tho the fine weather and had caused him to suspend operations, until the rainy weather had stopped long enough for tho soil to dry and allow tho work to continue. Mr. Burns was bitter toward tho water company for tho delay it had caused him, especially when, as he said, the com pany could havo accomplished tho change in its pipes during the dry season, before he commenced on the improvement of tho streets. Mayor Straw refused to consider tho charge against tho water com pany or tho council being to blame for the condition of tho sewage pipes, llo said that was a matter for Mr. Burns to look after and that tho only thing ho could do was to enter suit against tho water company for tho flooding of tho works, or against tho city for the delaying of tho work on account of tho sewage. All that tho council could do, ho said, was to grant him an extontion of timo in which to com plete tho work. After tho question had beon presented to tho council tho nluoty day extension asked by Contractor Burns was granted, and ho will resume work on tho grading just as soon as tho weather condi tions mako it feasible.

In tho issuo of tho "Campaigner," giving tho financial standing of tho city Just boforo tho recout election, tho assessment amount gavo tho company credit for tho ?21.55, Consequently tho bill last night was accompaniod by a lettor from tho ico company, asking that tho amount bo repaid, as par tho statomont of tho "Campaigner." This mlxuu f" a Uuh ut "" . part of both the council and the visit ors, and the matter was ordered looked into. Consider Sidewalk Petition. A petition was received from a number of citizens in Railroad addi tion asking for permission t'o hare a sidewalk placed along the west side of Baines street, between Ohio and Washington streets. Several of the petitioners wero present and stated what they wanted. Mr. Baines was among them and asked that ho and several others bo allowed to put in a cement sidewalk with tho under standing that they pay tho difference themselves in tho assessment.
