Thu * Council committee on franchtscs pulled ; onegend. and the Board of PubU: Works 1 the other end, and tightened it. The tying was done by the following letter from Mr Kern to the Board of Public Work#, first mad* pnolic to-day. Indianapolis, December IT, 1897. To the Board of Public Works: Gentlemeo—Ref erring to the agreement | entered Into between your board and the ’ Indianapolis Desiccating Company on the \ 6th last. I domra to call your attention j to the fact that the inctruaeot signed ‘ w** not prepared in this office and that ] the material changes and modifications made in the original draft by Mr. Bell, deputy city attorney, have been ignored hnd left out. The contract, a# executed, practically elves to the Indianapolis Desiccating Company a perpetual right to use and ►penue this railroad on and over the real estate described. That company can never be ousted from the possession of this part of the citjr'a real estate so long as Seller* fenn or the part adjacent to said proposed railroad track la u*ed or occupied for the purposes for which the seme is now occupied or for similar purposes. When the contracts of the sanitary 'company and the desiccating company expire, then you will have a freight railroad In operation across the city’s property. levying tribute upon any and oil subsequent contractors, and running engine* and cars across the same at will. The only way that the etty can ever relieve itself of the obligations of this contract is to sell Sellers farm, or abandon the use of It for the purpose# for which tl was purchased. The original draft of the pr »pOsed agreement was modified by Mr. Bell #0 that the instrument was In the form of :t license or permit to the desiccating company, rather than a contract with a consideration named. It left out the words “coraprlalng a public place" on the first page, by which word.- the city is made to recognize the belleis larm as u public place within the meaning of the law. a recognition W’hlcb In law can only be construed favorably to the rights of the desiccating company, if they have any Importance at
oil.
I ho|>e to- be pardoned if I suggest that in my opinion the rights of the city are not properly guarded by this agreement. Very respectfully. JOHN W. KERN. Cltv Attorney. The Former City Attorney. President Rauh. of the Dewceatlng Company, and former City Attorney Curtis, representing him. were present this morning at the session of the boai-d. Mr. Curtis admitted that Mr. Korn’s conclusions were proper and well based. “But.” he asked, “is not this what th«f board intended to do? I never, when I was acting a# counsel for the city, sought to direct how the Board of Public Work# should make Us contracts. If the contracts were legal, that is as far as I ventured investigation and opinion." “You knew,” said President Downing, “that we never departed from the Instructions of your department In the least when you were city attorney.’.’ “That is true.” he replied; “but you will also remember that I did not attempt to criticise the prudence or discretion of the board." After the contract was signed by the l>oard It was sent to the mayor. He suggested resubmission to the city attorney. This was done, and the letter quoted was the result. In the meantime the contract and ordinance approving It were sent to the Council for approval. When the letter was received by the board it was shown to Clr.trman Colter, of the committee <.n contracts and franchises, and the committee decided to refer the ordinance and con tract back to the board for revtekm. What Mr. Ranh Wants. .dr. Kauh. before the board, said he was not trying to obtain special franchise* or perpetual rights. He merely wanted to wrotect himself ten yeara hence when he should probably again lx- a bidder for the garbage contract against competitor# who would have a right to purchaae his tracks. He did not want to go to $13,000 expense to provide a good system of garbage collection for the city and then be left with the track on hi* hands. Mr. Montgomery thought the contract should be made to terminate with the garbage contract, with certain provision* a* to the appraisement and purchase of the tracks by the succeeding contractor. "I’d like to know one thing." said Mr. Moore, who ha* objected to the contract constantly; "what in the name of common .tense the city wants to obligate itself to buy this track for. anyhow.” He thought the garbage and switch contract# should terminate without any obligation. He said he doubted whether the board had the right to do more than give an easement for the use of the right of way asked for that period of ume. President Downing suggested that Mr. Furtls and Mr. Kern meet with the board at 1:30 in the afternoon to continue the discussion and prepare a contract and ordinance for submission to the Council to-night that would not be objectiona-
ble.
Story of the Contract.
The switch contract was drawn the first part of the’month, and wa» not regarded as important. After Deputy City Attorney Bell had prepared a contract for the board, modification* were made in It by the board. A whole paragraph, re- ; gardfd as a duplication of a preceding S cne was stricken out. The contract gave the desiccating company the right to la> a switch through Seller# farm, and to 1 charge co-tenants a limited fee for the i use of the tracks. This fee was $2 a car ; for full cars, nothing for empty cars. At 1 the time when the city should discontinue * j to use the farm for any other purpose ! j than that for which it is now being used the city had the right to purchase the tracks after appraisement. City officials ' regarded this as a shrewd more to ( “cinch” the buslncs* for the desiccating j company. When the pre*ent ten-year | contract expire#, the successor, providing I it was not the desiccating company, j
waa not right, the Council could easily
stop it."
At the meeting this afternoon th* switch contract was revised to suit the opinion of Deputy City Attorney Bell, and was prepared tor submission to th* Council to-night. A clawe was ln*erted qualifying the objectlonaWe provision. MEETING TOJMSCTSS PARKS. Bourd of Public Work* Take I> Its Now Respeasihllltles. The Board of Public Work* held it* first meeting to-day oa the park question. It was h?4d in the afternoon at the office of the old Park Board. Mayor Taggart was expected to be present. The members accomplished little more than to gain some information about the work of the old Park Board. President Downing said be was in full sympathy with the effort to make a good park system, and that the work of the old Park Board should not be lost. “Thl* board " he said, “comes into this duty by a sudden force of circumstances. We have been too engrossed with our other duties to be well informed on the work of the old board. So far a* 1 am personally concerned. I would hesitate before saying what the board will do. Under the changed conditions, we have to suit other* beside# ourselves. We can not buy any property that is more than $2.00* tn value without the usual process of going before the Council tor approval. Much will depend on the Council. I anticipate no d scord. but I can not speak from information as to what will bo accomplished." Mr. Moore, of th* board, said be would not like to express an opinion of the plans of the board, for it had none. Whether the board would approve the plans of the Park Board or not he would not like to say. because he wa* not sufficiently informed as to what they were. “It strikes me.’ he said, “that we assume this new responsibility as an entirely new thing. I would not favor the fulfillment of the old board's> plana unless I was eatisfied no mistakes had been
made."
Mr. Montgomery has expressed himself a# not In favor of purchasing small tracts like the Dean property on the South Side. He believes the money used to purchase attd maintain them could be better used for larger park®. He has also said he favored the taking of the Pogue’s run property into the system. The river from system, at least toat portion from Washington street to Michigan is regarded as a doubtful part of any new system. The action of a firm In building on a portion of the ground which the old board Included as a part of the driveway, and the leasing of much property for other purpose#, might prove an obstacle. The board has not expreaaad lt®**lf as to whether it will Include this land or not. It is understood the While River Sand Company ha* leased for a term of years several pieces fronting on the river. The only suggestion as to the sentiment of th« board on this question comes from Mr. Moore, who say* he is not In favor of buying land and holding It for improvement at a later period.

Yesterday for the third succceklve day nature continued her display to sympathy with the Bryan movement, and everything was covered as If with silver. Old 80b Secretary Gage's right bower, made some characteristically htft attacks on the silver forces, and at times threatened rout to them, but they rallied, and late in the day the old general and his fiery columns retired, having accomplished only a thinning of the enemy's lines. The latter took advantage of the cessation of hostilities during the night, filled up the ranks, and sent for reinforcement*.

City
List
of Streets Suggested by
Engineer for Paving,
The mayor’s cabinet will meet to-mor-row for the purpose of discussing plans for the coming yeay. The discussion will be largely about public improvements. as the plans in other departments have been anticipated In October, In the making of the appropriations for next year. City Engineer Jeup has been working out a system of extending and increasing the Improved streets of the city. His plans, which will be submitted to the Board of Public Works for approval, include the improvement of
the following streets:
NORTH BIDE.
Noble street, from Washington street to Massachusetts avenue. Ail the east-and-west streets between East and Noble and Washington and Massachusetts avenue. Bellefontaine and Ash streets, as sew-
erage may permit
The east-and-west streets between Senate avenue and College avenue, from St. Clair to Slxtenth street. All streets between Twenty-second street and Fall creek, between Talbott and Central avenue. The extension of the Ohio-street or Market-street Improvement to Arsenal
avenue.
New Jersey street, from Washington to Louisiana. Sixteenth street, from Senate avenue to Northwestern avenue. West Market street, from Senate avenue to West street. Northwestern avenue, from Sixteenth stteet to Thirty-second street. SOUTH SIDE Merrill street, from Virginia avenue to

Rural.
Missouri atreet, from Market to South
Street.
The Improvement of East Washington street, from Rural street to the Belt, is not included, because It has not been thoroughly iivcstlgatcd. In the matter ot sewer®, the engineer says the policy will he to extend the sewerage system as rapidly as In the past. A continuance of the policy of extending alley ‘mproye* ments from the center outwardly will 1:e Indorsed by the engineer.

As many of the pupils of the training school and other schools as had aka tea. did not walk to school. The sidewalks were aln-.t-n all given over to the skaters, ami they raid that the sport was as goi-d there as could be had. Thi® was especially true of the cement walks In the suburbs and In parts of the main city. The Ice wa® a leveler, and it wtts difficult to pick out a Prohl* bltlonltt by hi* walk. Rtaing Temperatar*. The temperature has been on the rise since Saturday, but its progress hae btx*n ®iow. At 2 o’clock the mercury had got just ono degree ate ve the freezing point. The ice had m fumed, and water was dripping from building#, fence#, poles and wires and flowing In the street* ind alleys. Consumer# on the Indianapolis company's lines had some gas at thla
