Common Council.

Council met in regular session Monday evening. Following is a report of business transacted: The approach on the Washington street bridge,.on the west side, was ordered removed, as cement walks are to be put in. John Rush and others petitioned for tire hydrant on Vine and Illinois streets. The following sidewalks were I condemned: —— 40 feet in front <,f Duvall’s livery stable on Van Rensselaer street. 100 feet in front of Ralph Fendig’s property | on Van Rensselaer street, ■lO feet in front of Mrs. Rebekah Porter's residence on Van Rensselaer street. 40 feet on Washington street in front of Mary E. Hopkins property. 116 feet in front of property belonging to Geo. K. Hollingsworth on McCoy Avenue. An ordinance was introduced and adopted that regulates planting, maintaining and protection of shade trees along the various streets. - Delos Thompson was re-elected a member of the school board, receiving 4 votes, N. S. Bates 1 vote. The matter of purchasing the triangular patch of ground west of the Washington street bridge, known as the Milroy homestead, for public park purposes, came up but nothing was done in the matter. H. J. Kannal, the present owner, wants $2,700 for the ground. The R. H. Milroy Circle had raised something like $6lO to aid in the purchase and Councilmen Porter and McColly were in favor of the city appropriating $1,500 towards the purchase. Dean and . Eger didn’t want to appropriate over SI,OOO, while Chilcote was against any appropriation whatever as the city was now mortgaged to the top notch and there was less than S2OO in the treasury that could possibly be used now for this purpose. The Mayor was in favor of purchasing the ground, but it is likely the scheme will fall through with. The tract is too small to ever be of much account as a park, and the city is in no condition to purchase it even though it desired to do so. Following claims were allowed: water fund.

The County board of Charities reported that they had visited, the asylum, “found, that the inmates were in reasonably good health, well fed and as cheerful and contented as could be expected. The superintendent has caused the corridors to be thoroughly renovated and cleansed, and the surroundings seem to be in a fairly healthy condition.” It recommends some minor repairs be made and the wood bedsteads be replaced with iron ones, and new mattresses.

About Building the Gifford Railroad. Rensselaer, June 14. The writer is not opjxised to any improvement which will be of benefit to Rensselaer and the people in general, but it does seem to us that it would be the most foolish thing on the part of the people of Rensselaer to vote a subsidy of $30,000 to $35,000 for any such vague and visionary “improvement"’ as the proposed Gifford railroad. The road starts nowhere and ends in the same place. If the road will be of benefit to Rensselaer or the people of Remington, we fail to see wherein that benefit lies. The cry of “cheap coal” and “competing freight rates,” used by the promoters, is far-fetched. Before we can get either, the road must have outlets, and the people of Rensselaer and Remington will gain no advantage in this respect when coal and other freight must pass over other roads before connecting with the pumpkin-vine. The cry of “cheaper coal,” even were the road to enter the coal fields, is very enigmatical. For domestic use the Indiana coal is not popular—a fact which the wri- ' ter personally knows—and the little that is or would be used for steam i purposes would scarcely be worth i the cost entailed. What the people of Remington ’ and vicinity need is a line con- ; necting with the Monon at Rensselaer. Let them with the assist--1 ance of Rensselaer and Marion and Jordan townshiiis, build such a line and then lease it to the Moi non to operate. They would then have competition in Chicago and ! southern freight and grain rates, would have no trouble about securing plenty of cars for shipping their crops, and the expense would be much less than Mr. Gifford asks for his road. Besides, by the latter plan. THE PEOPLE WOULD OWN the road between the two towns and they could no doubt dispose of it some time were they disposed and get every dollar of their money out -of it No d<>ubt Rensselaer, Marion and Jordan townships would gladly assist Carpenter and Remington in building such a road, in which event 'the cost to the latter would be comparatively small and. we believe, its benefits would be far greater than, the proposed Gifford road. We should be pleased to hear from other taxpayers on this subject. An “Anti.” Call at Larsh’s drug stoYe and get a free sample of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. They are an elegant physic.
