ALLEN SON. ?65-7 Commercial Street J i 1 it-i An orrer of lll.OO was made lust night for the preatnt city hall alte and the building on It. The offer was tend- erea ty Frank Spittle, who said he was acting for a responsible buslnesr man. If there was any assurance that the council would sell for that price which the Intending purchaser con sidered reasonable, a certMed check foi the amount would be forthcoming The proposal holds good for a period of 40 days. The offer, which caused a general smile, was referred to the com mittees on public property and ways and means. Later an ordinance was presented by Mr. Hansen authorising the mayor and auditor to execute a deed to the prop erty at present used upon the tender of an offer of not less than 115.000.. The bill provides that the city shall have use of the seccAid floor of the building for six months after the date of sUe, and that the application must be accompanied by the city treasurer's receipt showing that the sum will be rortncoming. Mr. Haitsen said he In traduced the ordinance by request; that, while he had formerly been up posed to iale of the site, he could not reasonably set up his opinion against those of ail the other members of the council, and that he was now satisfied sale of tha property would be a good thing. The bill went over until the (Al lowing meeting. Recently Joseph Bchamberger pre sented a proposal for the sule of an en glne house site to the city. , The prop erty is so located that it would form I connection for Di:ane street from Thir teenth to Fourteenth. Last night the ordinance came up for final passage It nppeured that the property' was not large enough for the purposes required, end the bill was laid over until next meeting. It was discovered that the jrade of Pranktln avenue betwtwn Thirty-sixth and Furt-thlrd streets is not estab Ibhed. so Mayor Suprenant vetoed the ordinance providing for that Improve merit. The veto was sustained. The legislation will have to be re-enacted and a resolution declaring the intention of the council to repair the street was adopted. The ordinance providing the manner of consti-uctlng entrances and exits on public building, providing for (Ire es- c.ii'es unci the Issuance of building per mits went over, so the new committee might have time to consider It. The request that a light be placed at the corner of Duane and Fifteenth streets was granted. The light one block north will be removed to the lo cation. Other requests for street lights were received as follows: At the corner of Fifty-first and Ttlrch, Fourth and Commercial and Mel borne street and Alanvda avenue. The petitions went to the street committee. The police commission presented n request for an appropriation of $100 for the requirement of the police depart ment. The matter was referred to th ways and means committee, which will offer the necessary ordinance next meting. The ladles of the 'Ibrary, In a com munication to the council, expressed their appreciation of the library levy recently made, and assured the body of their willingness to meet with a council committee to confer with refer ence to the character of reading matter provided at the reading room. Ac companying the tt to.' was t ll.it of the tnagaalitus newspapers and other sim ilar publications now taken. Th committee on wharves and wa terfruntage treated an extended dis cussion by reporting upon tiie need of repairs to the slip at the foot of Four teenth street. This slip ha been main tained by the city as a public landing place, but It was said last night that It had been monopolised by one steam er. Repairs will coat M. There was some sentiment In favor of fencing off the slip, but Mr, Hansen objected to this, on the ground that the public landing was needed. The matter will be considered further. County Clerk Clinton presents,! a communication showing that the as sessed valuation of city propeity was ll.80J.454. The public property committee re ported adversely on the offer of the Astotla Abstract, Title A Trust Com psny to sell the city an engine house site, and the report was adopted.
