The city council last night Instructed
Contractor Wlcktam to begin the paving
of Harrison street within ten days, the
order being made on tho motion of Alder
man Hubcr, who stated that property own
ers on that thoroughfare were tired of tho
delay In Improving their btrcot. Tho con
tract was awarded to Wlckham earlv last
year nnd several of the property owners
who were present addressed tho council,
asking that the work bo ordered nrocccJed
with nt once.
Wlckham said ho was prepared to go to
work as soon ns the curbing was In and
the gas company had laid its mains. Man
ager Nichols of the gas company snld he
desired to put in larger pipe than he
had on hand at present, but If tho council
Insisted ho would lay the two-Inch pipe he
hod. This brought up tho old aucstlon be
tween Wlckham and the gas company as to
which should have the right of wny on tho
street and Wlckham snld that If tho coun
cil Insisted on his beginning tho paving
vlthln ten days ho would enjoin the kuh
company from tearing up the street to Inv
Its mains, In explanation of this threat
he snld he was under a bond of 13.S00 and
a guarantee to keep tho paving on that
street In good condition for five years nnd
that ho could not afford to allow the cas
company to dig trenches and then have Ms
paving settle and bo bo responsible for It.
Tho ,nldermcn were ovldcntly of the
opinion that they had nothing to do with
the question ns between the contractor and
the gns company nnd the order for Wlckhnm
to begin the work within ten davs stood.
AssrssiiiiMils Adjusted.
Tho assessment resolution for tho Dluff
street nnd Willow nvenuo paving wns
ndoptcd nftcr soma reductions had been
made. From the assessment of the Stewart
property $100 was taken off nnd the nsscss
ment of tho W. W. Wallace property was
reduced $277.64. The assessment ngalnst
the property or rctta .Maxweu wns rcauceu

Keller property. Tucso reductions amount
ing to $624. fi4 will be borne bv tho cltv
nnd paid out of the general Improvement

Clerk Phillips rend the protests from
property owners against the paving In tho
Fourth ward, but the council decided to ig
nore them nnd no notion wns taken In re
gard to tho matter.
In accordance with tho report of tho cltv
electrician nnd engineer tho Citizens' Oas
and Electric Light compnny wns ordorcd

The recommendation of tho Judiciary cotn-
mlttco that the pcrsonnl Injury suit of

time the council wns called to task for lis
hurried settlements In the Lock nnd Mlkc-
ell cases tho aldermen resolved to let nil
uch cases go to trial. Owing to the ab
sence of three of the aldermen Hover's vote

of his St. Louis speech declared:
Our foreign commerce during the last

consume "0 per cent of our surplus? We
must develop new murkels nnd mnke se

must have something to Kell If they shall
continue to biy. We Hhotild become con
sumers in somewhat larger measure of tho

customers become bankrupt and unprnilt
nble. We must not only exchange trado
privileges where It can be done to anvan
tage, but we must nlso neck new markets
under other sklen nnd on tho shoro of othr

republican party pledged Itself to recipro
