It certainly is not encouraging to our efforts to com ill v with the will of property-holders, when they come here at one meeting and attempt to kick over which thev have asked for at a previous meeting. tt e were particularly anxious to have these ordinances adopted tonight in order tbat the necessary proceedings might bo entered in the county court to morrow morning, as in the event of delay lliere the entire matter will have to go over to the July term. and this would le a serious and un fortunate retardment to our pavinj operations this year." Let the Street br raved. Seventeenth street should be pav cd, and paved through to the citv limits, and while it is not the pur pose to inflict unreasonably heavy I. unions on anv property-holders, there is one thing that should al ways Ihs taken into consideration as overshadowing all other interests, and that is the public rood. and this oiiff'ht to Ik the lirst consideration o the aldermen.

Kuschmann, ot the street and alley committee, presented the form ula for the standard of brick to be used in paving operations hereafter. It nroviiles that the sizo shall be z by 4 by 8 inches:thev shall be straight, regular in size and shape, and free from flaws, cracks and breaks. They shall be made expressly for ravinr and shall be hard, tough and thoroughly vitrified. The brick for tho top course, and for one course of pavement must fulfill the following requirements: The roodulous of rupture for trav crso strensrth roust not be less than 1.000 pounds per square Inch, com pitted by formula; brick to be tested flatwise. They shall not absorb more than 1.75 tkt tent of their own wirht of water after being im nierscd for 48 hours in water, shall resist abrasion in the rattler equal to the best Qnlney granite, and shall not contain lime in such quantity as to cause disintegration or cracking after 10 days immersion in water Brick for bottom course must endnre the following tests: The modulous of rupture for trav- erse strength tested as above shall not lie less than 1.2(H) pounds per square inch. They shall not absorb more than 4 ner cent of their own weight of water, after being immersed water for 48 hours: shall not lose by abrasion in the rattler more than four times aa much as Uuincy gran ite. and shall not contain more lime than the brick for the too course.

Kinner called attention to the misunderstanding and the criticism that had arisen as to Sunday's fire alarm, and moved that a formal in ventilation lie made br the police and lire and light committees, and the blame properly placed.. This course is undoubtedly the wisest the council could Lave pursued, as it will result in the vindication of any who have been ua justly accused and the plac ing of the responsibility where it be longs. Kapt. of Waterworks If urrin main talas that the reason Engineer Cay anaugh neglected te alarm the fire department was that he had reason to believe Officer Brennan did that as sooa as he notilied him. and all that remained for the engineer to do was to sound the general alarm and look after the pumps. It is said of Offi cer Brennan the he attempted to no tify the police and lire department. inn could not get mem nisi then, and so gave it up.
