Entrance and estab lishment; in prhabs, are necessary to round out the system and make It complete.

The denizens of Missouri avenue en livened the affairs of last night's council meeting by an outburst of Indignation al most aa Spontaneous aa the Fourth of July explosives. The cause was the long-standing, miserable condition of the street, which has been greatly Increased of late by heavy rains. There are now many places of posl tlve danger. These conditions were pre sented to the council by Judge J. J. Breen, who charged the council with murder, should a fatal accident occur on the ave nue. The judge -spent several minutes In describing the conditions and stated that although the council had permitted repairs to other streets in the city, Missouri ave nue had been untouched. At the close of his remarks the mayor took exception to soma of his pointed remarks and stated that It waa not lack of willingness on the part of the council, but the lack of funds which had caused the delay. He promised, however, that the more dangerous places should be made passable, or at least be fenced up so that they could not become a source of danger. In the regular course of business the council confined Itself to routine. Among the communications II. M. Hodge reported thst his horse had fallen Into a hole be- ween Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth on F street. Just after a heavy rain and in get ting the animal out he had ruined a good harness. He wanted $25 damage for the same. The city attorney reported adversely to the claim of John Coatsworth, who re ceived Injuries at Thirteenth and Missouri avenue by a fall Into an excavation under a sidewalk, caused by a washout. Coats- worth wants $30,000 damage. Report of Inspectors. Reports from tho live stock Inspector showed that he Jiad condemned eleven cat tle, twelve hogs, eight sheep and seven horses during the month of June. The sanitary Inspector reported four cases of smallpox for the month, two of scarlet fever and four of diphtheria. Several cases are still under quarantine. The building Inspector, Kd Trapp, reported, 'the con demnation of four buildings during the month. Two of them at least will be torn down. . On a resolution by Duffy It was moved to apportion the $100,000 now In the main sewer 4und for Immediate, use. .'The object being to allow warrants to be drawn on theje funds to pay for tho engineering operations which risve been conducted. The water company was Instructed to extend Its mains on Twenty-sixth from Q to II atreet. The council on motion by George Haupt. man passed a resolution recommending P. J.
