, , , . Na Oaard Rail.
A communication front R. A. La-ussier,
a.Aniatant manager or tne street railway
cortpany. stating that his company did not
deer a third rail practicable aa a guard
against aocldent on the bank of Indian
crek on Eart Broadway, where the car
track nearly overhangs the creek bank
Aldernan Jensen Indignantly declared that
he was'; in favor of prohibiting the operation
of cars k n that line until some steps were
taken' U- the company for the protection
of the i Mit and on his motion ths city
clerk , instructed to notify the company
that t ts uld be expected to Install ths
third rail 'within reasonable time. If this
work Is ndjt done, the city solicitor wilt be
Instructed to proceed to stop traffic on the
Broadway loop until It Is done.
The ordinance providing for the pub
lication of notices to property owners of
the Intention of the city to construct
sidewalks along their property and pro
viding for posting notices In ths neigh
borhood, was passed to Its third reading
and adopted. Property owners will be
given ten days' notice, to appear at the
clerk's office and signify whether they
propose to build their own walks or let
the city contractors perform the work.
City Attorney Kimball rendered an
opinion to the effect that the city may
not construct sidewalks on a temporary
grade In excess of 40 cents per lineal foot,
but must pay the excess out of- the gen
eral or Improvement funds of the city.
The report of Mayor Maloney and City
Treasurer True, on their attendance at
the convention of the League of American
Municipalities, at Montreal, was submitted.
The report mentioned only briefly the pro
posed plans on an Indian creek tunnel, to
be drawn up by Michael Morris of New
Tork.
The city clerk was Instructed to notify
ths Board of Fire and Police Commission
ers to change Its rules to provide for
Inspection of fire plugs at least four times
a year Instead of semi-annually.
That the plans for concrete Bridges over
Indian creek 'are copied from patented
plana of the N. M. Stark company of Des
Motnes is me cnarge made by a repre
sentative of that concern, who is In the
city.
Mr. Etnyre declares that he has never
seen the Stark plans and that he Is not
aware that they are like his own plans.
He denies flatly that he has copied any
plana. In the event that the question Is
raised by the company, Mr. Etnyre says
It will be an easy natter to omit any
points which are patented by the con
tractors. Those points, as a rule, according to
Mr. Etnyre, apply to certain ways of
placing the reinforcement rods which will
make It easy to avoid Infringement on
the patents, by changing the position of
the rods.
