lasimeeting the chances of pulling in^the Galiicwoll system was over^for u year at li.nl. Aldermiu^Mi'D.-rmoit had found some coallrmatiou^for his view* by previous consultation^with the eny attorney mid ho Ik- ealleil^upon him expecting lo obtain an opinion^that would make the consideration oj the
ijalllewellCollipatiy'H bid illlluedlutely^possible. I'm Sir. ( orbett evalleil Ihe^question put to hill) as lo the legality of^Ihe measure and indicated ii: about as^many words that he thought it better for^the council to proceed as they thought^bent in v.ew of their action anil not to^shoulder ('II* the responsihiiity of any^uction they might take on himself.
Afterthis evasive reply to his inquiry.^Aid'una.i McUerinotl moved tliat the bid^be referred to the judiciary ci'infiiiitee lo^n port, and his motion was promptly sec^^onded.
licforeMayor Vuliton could state the^motion. Alderman liarret arose and^moved that Mr. McUenuott'^ motiou he^laid upon the table.
Thegentleman is out of order,^ said^Mr. McUermott. ^The motion had not^been stated and the gentleman had no^right lo the Moor.
1have the llonr now, .aid Alderman^Barret, as soon as the mayor had contin^^ued to statu the motion ill the confusion,^^ami I move that Mr. Millcrmott's mo^^tion Ik- laid on the table, ami that carries^with it the bids uud all.
Themotion was promptly second^^ed, a (oaltek attempt to amend^it wus called down on a point^of order and the motion was put,^resulting in nearly equal volleys of thun^^der lrom th'' uyesanu uoe.-. The roll was^as follows on the motion to table. Ayes,^Harrct, Condon, (joodulc, Mueller, Shaw^ami Stewart; noes, Ayotte, Hinds, Lynch,^Mcllermotl ami 1'ascoc, curtying the mo^^tion by a majority of one.
Thisleaves the rival systems in the^same statu, as licforo.
Assoon as this matter was disposed of^Alderman l.yiirh continued his report and^ruised another extended round oi ills* u--^sion ovi r ihe new pieces of tire appar^^atus. Mr. Lynch stand that rig. rd.ng^the eook Mid laddi r li in k he hail not a m-^suite.l with th^ other mcniticrs of the com^^mittee ami would usjf lor more tine- be-^foie reporting upon it. Mr. Lynch wished^that uuothcr test might lie^made lit which all the iiicm-^I crs of Ibe council shoul 1 lie priseiit.^He tlioiighi ih.it ihe council ought to be^uble to decide within IB nays as well as^in!*) days, ihe written contract gave^the city *** days. What the company^wanted was to select four Save wno^should familiarize tin inselves with the^ladiler and who, in ease ihe ladder was^successful, should be hired by the city as^paid firemen.
Aldermanliarret said that he umler-^stoo I that what wus wanted was to Met*^p lie the lest until the ladder could be^moved into ihe lire rooms of the new city^hail.
Themuyor contended that the written^contract would huve to lie remembered as^having more weight than any vernal con^^tra* t could have.
FrankThoiues, who had acted as the^^(nil of the company, then arose, and^having gained permission to speak,licgaii^uu apoioiiy for tin-Ih'Ii iivor ot the truck^at the recent test. The truck, be said,^hud been much exposed to the severe^storm on the way out, uud was conse^^quently a little Misled. lie had no o|^^ih.riumty looi-.Thutil it where it was and^soil acted stilly. This was also due in^part to the fact that neither he nor the^other men were accustomed to handling^a truck. The Imbue of ihe exhibition in^front of ihe Lizzie block was due to the^fact (hat he placed the truck too lur out^in the luidd.c ol the street and so had to^land the aerial ladder farther over than^was proper in order lo reach the building.
Winu asked ab^ in Ihe excessive over^weight, Mr. 1 homes at llrst^said he was not responsible^lor this us he had only^to forward the h|McjUnatiotis furnished^him, tin 11 recollecting that he was apoio-^gizuig for the company and not for him^^self, he muiiita i.ed that for a 17-foot^ladder the trunk was exceptionally light.^What he wauled win III days' lime in or^^der to get things in pro|h.*r shape tor u^test.
AldermanLynch objected to the Hi^duy proposition as it would car^^ry the mutter over to the llcw^cauhcil, when the member* of the^tire committee at that turn' Mild be un-^lictpiaiuieil with the details. The weight^ol the truck was u serious consideration.^To limit ihe weight to 5.!^ju pounds was^one ol the objects which die uhlermcll^hud hoped u^ gam in ie|'oriuig Is) lavor^of ibis truck. However he wisned lo give^the computiv a lair trial, so he in v d^that Mr. 1 homes lie d.reeled lo lure BBSOJ^at th^' i xp* use of the rnespstlj win

Xhe mayor Mil that he had c.refully^^ gaaabteil the n rma ol ihe ouu tract, and^wee li the truck did work properly the
councilwas under no obligation lo ac^^cept it. Tbo lodrtof wis long-r, end the^truck was In cv r th in lie i-ontract

op rale it, and how the eeejej any aiiiuit-^led that it would ri quire lour.
Aid.in.an .Mueih r iboughf that the^MBpsr way to do would be^it r the council to refeet lbs^Is ider, and ihen if the eoeenneje
.sheil i^ leave n In re lie y In.gbl no so^and make u sin j. ei to the approval of^the i ' xt * ^lined in case lie y snould find^n slice SSful. I hal would let the council^out i ' any event.

thistruck. They were both will^^ing to give the truck a lair^trial but not at the exi Ml^^^f the city. 11 was finally found that the^days would expire on April 7 an I ihe^in xl regular council uieeiing would occur^on April 1. So ihe committee was allowed^further time lo rei o-i, and the company^was left to do as it pleased ill the In^^tel on.
ti'ganlingthe chemical tnginr, Alder^^man Lynch reported it entirely satisfac^^tory, but the committee wanted more^lime on this also in order to look^into certain details of the bill. The mayor^called attention to Ihe excessive freight^charges and said that he thought the com^^pany should he made to explain why the^two pieces were billed as two cars of !X),^0U0 pounds each, when on ^ car would^have sufficed. The city attorney said^thai the railroad would grant no rebate^as the pieces had been billed as they had.^If they had been free on board at Hutte^instead of Chicago, it would huve been^different and he thought this difference^should be deducted from the bill for the^apparatus.
Mr.Van Walkenhurg of the Muskegon^compuiiy was yuuked up to explain this^thing, ami suiil the engine hail been or^^dered by the Grand K.tphls company and^ihey only followed their orders from^t.raiel Kaimls. When it left them it was^not hilled a car, hut was billed l.huU^pounds. Any action was postponed in^oilier lo ex.inline the freight bills more^carefully.
Thespit'iul committee, appointed to |^eoii-uler lbs claims ol H stu p llrandell^ai.il the sisters of St. leasee1 hospital !^lor rebates on luxes, reported favorably^on the bishop's claims for a rebate on the^church prop -i ty but reported unfavorably^on the i laiuis lor the hospital ami the^female ae .d^my us neither of Ibsej could^b^ brought under the past resolution,^rendering church ami public rchool^prop riy untaxable.

Amongthe possibilities of the present^season is the extension of the t lileago,^Mock Island A I'aeillc from Denver west,^probably to Salt Lake. The only thing^that has prevented Wie ^ xlensioii from^Is'ing built before this has been the ex^^tensive stringency of ihe money markets^of the east. This is now relax ng and^railroad builders all through the west are^beginning to feel lucre hopeful for the^future.
Inspite of the vast amount of talk re^^garding extensions of trunk lines west^^ward and building of new roads in the re^^gion west of ihe Kockies, it is the opinion^of the best informed local railroad men^that the money situation will have to be^considerably altered licforo much cash^can Ih* ohtuincil for the construction of^roads into districts w here the traffic is un^undetermined tpi muiy The ri-portanl ex^^tension of thi' I'lochc and Nevada East^^ward by the Santa Ke has been talked^over pretty freeli, and it is not believed^that the lug load intends lo do any build^^ing at present.
