Councilnien Keller, Stephens, Johnston,

and
Gunnintr, Johns, Kelly, Shackelford and
Wieon were present.
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. !

j FREIGHT BY TROLLEY.
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

driver and two horses.
le.v service the haulape was accom
plished in one hour, at a cost of six
dollars per wapon from the shipping
Ioint to the delivery point. 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

either end of the line are obvious.
