Both branches of (he < Uj round!
met for the last tin**1 Curing the pres
ent session Tuesday night when, tit a
Joint meeting. the record of the < >un
l41 was read and approved, and the
members adjourned sine die.
Before holding « Joint session sep
arate gatherings <v< r« held by the
member* of both the common council
and the board of aldermen, at which
the final remaining boat ness on the
docket* was dlsposvd *>f.
At the meeting of common council,
the much mooted question as to wnat
streets should have the benefit ot a
<*,7eo appropriation, was brought up,
and waa settled In an unevpe ted man
har, by Pre-aider.I Peters, a ho ruled
i upon by a meeting hold several
months ago. ond that consequently the
matter wij out of the hauus ul com
tnon Council ami should gu to the
L . board for consideration. All the de
bate which occupied so much time at
• a special meeting of the council last
"eck had been so much verbiage wast
ed, he ruled. Hi added, that acting
on tha advice of the assistant city
•t attorney he had Instruc ted City Clerk
skUCuait not to enter any of the pro
ceedings on the record
OftfMjsrd b> Mr. Mills.
Thla decision brought forth heated
opposition from Mr Morgan Mills,
who had suggested that the two Items
contained In th« original resolution,
on* relating to improvements In Fair
mount ad the other to improvements
on Broad street road, should b. con
sidered Separately. His motion should
- be considered as a special separate
resolution, without reference to prev
ious papers, he said.
Strenuous debate as to the course
"..t of procedure followed, in the course
of which Mr. Mills waxed Irate, end
; referred to tyrannical rulings or the
chair. The debate was brought to
a quick stop by President Peters, who,
■ after rapping vigorously on the table
with his gavel, finally secured silence,
and then calmly proceeded to Inform
the argtimenUve ones that all thc-lr
j remarks were out of order,
Mr. Mills then withdrew his remarks
j 'criticising the rulings of the chair, and
. declined to appeal to the body for a
ruling on the point of order.
When it had finally been deter
mined that it was not upon to coun
, oil to pass on tho question of how
the money should bo spent, buf*rather

form, together with an amendment

Y ferring the appropriation for lm

The amendment was rejected by a
large majority, and the original
measure was concurred in bv a vote

ney (Jeneral holds that the various
publishing companies must pay cer- ;
tain franchise and license taxes be- |
fore they can legally contract with the ;
board, and up to the present time no j
contract has actual!) been made. It
seems quite certain thnt the contracts '
will soon be executed, but no official

done* as the new adoptions are not
complete until the contracts ar emade.
The department realizes that the time
for opening schools is approaching

give to numerous Inquiries.
