The name of Mr. Eiliott was confirmed by the unanimous vote of the council pres ent. The bond of Mr. Eliott in the sum of $500 with Asbury Jacks and G. K. Staats securities, was read and ap proved by the council. On motion of Councilman Bestor. the chief of police was requested to notify the parties whose property was in the streets or alleys to have the same removed at once. The quer-tion of the trees and the walks along Washington avenue came in for a thorough going over when the mayor inquired as to what the second ward salons had done in regard to supplying the names of the lot owners and the numbers of the lots. Councilman McMaken stated that the four foot walks now in ser vice were permanent walks and he could not figure how they could be compelled to put in new five foot walks without being repaid or that the- should be asked to remove the trees, a rart of which had been planted by the city. After some discussion it was found that the trees desired to be removed were the old ones standing there for many years. Councilman Sattler promised to supply the lot numbers and names desired and peace once r. ore rolled over the proceedings of the deliberative body. On notion of Councilman Eetc -. the city attorney and city clerk were authorized to prepare the history of the bonds in paving districts 26, 27 a-?d 2S and the sewer districts so that the sale of the bonds might take up a part of the present oustanding warrants. Mr. Bestor also moved that the city extend their thanks to the Bur-Mr-Tten for co-cp?ra'ing in making Lincoln avenue a better highway by supplying the cinders for the street which was unanimously adopted. On motion it was decided to give Mayor John-en and the chief of po lice authority to fix cfZ certain of the streets that they might deem fit for the use of the coasters so as to make it a matter of safety for all con cerned.
