The first business drought before the council was a petition of K. Gutnther and others pra ing fur the construction of a gideualk on the smith tide of Ninth street, from IVntland to the bridge, which was referred to the committee on streets and public property, to report at the luxt meeting. A petition of twenty. nine East Er.t'ers for a special n':j;ht watchman in that portion of the city was read aud referred to the committee on health and police. Thev also recommended W. 0. Johnson as being a suitable person for the posi tion, j Another petition also requested that ! Charles Alisky be appointed a special , police for that vicinity west of Laughiin j street and north of the bluff, and to this I were tweuty-eight signatures. This was referred to the same committee. A commnaicatiou from Frank Clark, eking that the city refaod S, was read, Mr. Clark having paid license for .two nights' performance of the "Cheerful Liar' company and they appeared but odo. On motion the money wan re funded. On motion of Wilson the matter of renairint- the Court street sidewalk above the bluff was referred to the com- mitteeon streets and public property, , . ,. with power to act. The reports of the recorder, treasurer and marshal were then read and ap proved, the latter reporting twenty- eight arrests during; Jenuarr. The question of the aewer proposition was introduced bv a mot.on of Wilson . . . , to eend a etatement of the tax assess - ment, which would be required for such improvement, to each property owner j affected thereby, with a request tot request to i register his opinion or vote concerning the same. A general discussion was thue precipitated, the negative insisting that such a course would no doubt de feat the matter; that no matter when such a proposition was introduced, even at the most favorable time, there would always be opposition, and that at any e tieen rate euch a course should have taken before the matter hud gone so far and eo much money expended thereon. xnoee in nivor ineietea that in euch matter, which was of so much moment to the taxpayers and would burden them to euch a degree, it was hut just they be allowed to have a voice in the matter. A vote of ayes and nays was then taken and registered a9 follows: Ayes Shack clford and Wilson Nays Kelly, Johns, Stephens, Gunning. Johnston. The lat ler explained that being in the cr.uncii when the proportion first tvas intro- duced he favored it, hut Bince lad ju - vestigated the matter and changed his opinion. However, to he consistent, he voted against the motion. The council then adjourned to meet tomorrow night, whn the question will i be further considered. ! TltEASUUUU'fc UEI'OUT. ! Jan. 1.

Utility or the Innovation la Being-' Fullr Drmunitratrd at the City of Toledo, Ohio. The utility of the rural trolley line as a freight road is receiving very full demonstration at Toledo. The mana gers of a suburban line there have de vised a trolley truck on whk-h a load j ed farm vvajron can be readily placed, ' the axles of the wagon fcettinc- in f sockets which hold it firmlv tilaee. The farmers are usinL' this kv1m nf transportation when teaming- is had. Ilecently, on a day when the ronds were in very bad shape., one train that reached the city included S7 sacks of clover teed and two wagon loads of hasswood lumber. The farmers sending this shipment meu lj miles from Toledo and stated i xnai, wnn tin. roads in the condition ttipy UITB tlior, .'n 1 w.., ,,,, LUIS ftCL'U would ' nave made at least three ordinary ; wa?n.

Such nd vantages, especially in regions where roads are usually in poor condition, will naturally pive nn hnjetus to the construction of rural electric lines. The advantages of khipping the wag ons without loading or unloading at either end of the line are obvious. I'roKri-xnli e Jnimn.
