A petition for the improvement of Leonard street, Chicago to New York, by macadam sur face and six foot cement vwalks.ljwas tha first matter taken' up, by the -St. Johns city council last nife-ht The an glneer was directed to prepared the necessary plans for Its Improvement, -vi-A' petition from ,the fire department asking for the privileges of the streets and public grounds for. holding a big Fourth of ' July : celebration, here met with favor .by the dads. The fire de partment,. Is desirous of having full charge and control of tha projected Jollification, ; which It Is , proposed ,to make of some magnitude. : J . ' . ' vA protest against the erection of the bell tower waa lodged ' with tha solons by the fire department In no uncertain terms. . The , departments claims such erection ' Is a flagrant , violation of ths fire - ordinance, v an unsightly obstable and dangerous to ' adjoining property. Tha firemen and' several adjoining prop erty" owners' were represented by At torney S. H.' Greene,, who stated that underneath the site -of the proposed tower Is. aii old welt 164 feet',deep and six feet- In diameter,' used by " the old St. y Johns" Watert company. that said well was covered at the top to a depth of '-2ft feet - with' planking underneath, and that the bell tower erected with this ; well unfilled woiUd be particularly dangerous when ilgh , winds - prevailed. Mr. Greene intimated if council did not see -fit' to abandon' tha project the. mat ter iwould ,ba aired lq court Several property owners also expressed fear if the tower waa constructed as proposed. The contract having been'' let and tha concrete piers placed, under, the prem ises council finds Itself 'In a rather bad dilemma. They feel that the firemen have not 'treated them fairly, since it waa at their lnstancethst? the tower was, ' ordered,- constructed, v To protest after the contract bad been let Instead of before ' made it apparent that' the fire boys were anxious to get council In a "hole." At least the solons took It this way-Matterwaa-held In abey ance for a week's deliberation,- and ths old well was ordered filled. . . Manager Hickman presented a smooth stray of .figures In attempted . Justifi cation of the exorbitant' ., prices now charged for telephone service . by the Pacific Telephone company.

They must needs, therefore, raise the price.' He -claimed , the service was ss good as could be afforded. ' tender the provisions of their franchise they were permitted ' to charge a maximum of f S per month. In some cases they are making thrs the minimum also. Mr. Hickman advanced the information that the company is now installing an $8600 switchboard here and that a cable would be run across the river and extend to Linnton,when free service to this point would 'be given to St. John. .
