A resolution calling for the niodiilcatiot of the original one by eliminating the improvement east of Mercer avenue was read and seconded, but upon a vote taken, Martin and Christen voting yes, and Hale and Chronister voting no. it resulted in a tie. Mr. Atz being absent. The vote of the mayor being necessary for passage. Mayor Teepie voted in favor of the resolution, carrying it, and the clerk was authorized to advertise that the city council would on the 17th day .->1 September receive sealed bids for the construction of said improvement. A resolution also adopting the Monroe and Ninth street improvements also passed and September 17th was set as the t'me for reseiving bids for the construction of same. The assessment roll for the Merriman sewer was filed and received. A resolution adopting same was read by the clerk, and he was authorized to advertise that the city council will at their next meeting night September 17th. hear the objections for same. A certified report of the assessed valuation of the city of Decatur was filed bv the auditor, and received and ordered spread on record. A petition tor the continuance of the Monroe street sewer westward, which is in course of construction, was filed and reierred to the street and sewer committee. Specifications for the contraction of cement walks after being modified were adopted. A petition signed by a number of property owners residing along Nuttman avenue, asking for an are light at the G. R. & '. crossing, was filed, granted and the clerk instructed to notify the company that the same be placed there at their expense. The clerk was also au/aorized to advertise for bids on all ordered sidewalks, which had not as yet been constructed. The street commissioner asked for stone to dress North Third street and the purchasing committee was ordered to buy

'"our car loads of crushed stone for the work to de done. Since different officials have been purchasing articles without the consent of the purchasing committee, and which was brought up at the last council meeting. was changed somewhat Tuesday evening and from now on heads of all departments are allowed to buy necessaries not exceeding $lO. Over this airoim' the purchasing committee will first have to be consulted. Mrs. Christena Niblick and son. Jesse, who some time ago were notified to remove the building just north of the Winnes shoe store, and who have not as yet done so. the city attorney was authorized to prepare an ordinance condemning the same by declaring it a nuisance, and to be removed at once. The marshal, night police and city firemen asked for an increase in salary. The marshal being appointed to serve at a fixed salary the council is unable to meet the request. The same is believed will hold good with the firemen, there being an appropriation made for their compensation, and uniess satisfactory to the improvement committee this cannot be done The matter was referred to the board of safety which will look into the matter before acting. The following bills were allowed:
