CITY FATHERS MEET. THE HARRISON STREET SEWER CONTENTION SETTLED.

An OrriiiiHii' t Im l-'riuitetl GoVOTMiag tlw Width of Street ami Driveway KoiiiIn are ;iven by the Ntw Officials.

Last evening ail the members ot the council were present at roll call. No petitions or remonstrances were presented when called for, which is so uncommon that it deserves mention. Mayor Johnson made a speech which had for its primal object the abolishment of unnecessary labor falling on the city treasurer. Heretofore it ha6 been the custom to collect ren-.s for the meters monthly. He suggested that the collections be made quarterly, thus relieving the treasurer of the labor of writing from three to four hundred receipts. The council concurred with him. Money was set aside for the purchase of a new ordinance book. The contention between the L E. & W. railroad and the city regarding the grade of Harrison street and the grade of the track in reference to a drainage ditch was settled last night. A letter received from the superintendent of the road, explained that rather than further contend the road would lower their tracks at their own expense. The city treasurer made a single 8tateraent in his report giving the amount in the treasury as 8ltl.48. The list of accounts, which appeared to be as long as ever was read and allowed. Councilman Dickinson in his report on streets and alleys read a petition for the graveling of Sophia street in certain localities. The report of the committee was favorable. A petition tor the construction of sidewalks on South street was reported favorably upon by the committee aud was enacted into an ordinance. One important act of the evening was the placing of a matter into the hands of the proper committee to frame an ordinance regulating the width of streets and driveways. This ordinance will effect property all over the city. In some places no doubt the front lawn will have to be cut away and in other places extended. The last business taken up was the sanctioning of the bonds presented by P. O. .lones as mayor, J.N. Wilson as treasurer, Wm. Leonard as clerk and Thomas Chaney as marshal. This was the last session of the council that
