One provides a $10,000 bond Issue to complete the motorization of the fire department and to purchase a motor am-lance-patrol; the other provides the board, of public works with authority to preserve the city's several miles of macadam streets by the application of binding fluids. By provisions of the new street improvement ordinance the board of public works can now provide a binder for a macadam street and assess the cost of the binder against benefited property owners. The good streets measure was put through council under the suspension of rules. With every councilman in his seat the $10,000 bond issue ordinance was put through by a vote of 7 to 5, the majority required. Such ordinances to pass must receive a majority vote of all members of council. Two weeks ago when it came up for a vote Councilman Burdsall was absent, and the bill failed.
