Discussion of Divers and Sun dry Other Matters. When the minutes of the preceding meeting had been read last evening. ,Mayor Miller inquired whether any had ; aus;ht to present for the consideration 1 , . v.oy Oi uic uu"1" " iucu ui iiit; cily OI A i ni J f the PUb' 110 S(?,, S?M8aid nl1aPPeared in behalf of 600 children. The some- what limited playground of the Orange street school, he said, receives drainage u-a:er from the upper end of Central avenue and from a part of Orange street, and is muddy and unsanitary. He thought the city ought to convev this across the school ground by means nf underground niping All the citv ot uuaergrouna pipmg Ail the city schools he ; added, were very much crowded. The sehool committee," said he. -is unable to do anything in this matter. I may state that we are be- hind $2,000 on teachers' salaries for last year." .. Alderman Chambers said he had in- speoted the grounds of the Orange Saeet school, and did not see that the citv could do anything materialfy to remedy the trouble. There was a pro- tracted discussion. I . , , , borne of the aldermen mentioned that the school committee receives one-third of the amount of taxes from all sources, and others made uncomplimentary re- marks about the intelligence of the ( ptreon, or persons, who selected that! particular site for a school. Mr. Jones was asked what the work asked for hv the school committee would cost. He did not know. Street Superintend ent Bostic was of the opinion it might be done for $100. Mr. Jones offered to give the board a definite estimate at the next meeting. The board let it go Mr. James presented the request of the residents of Turner street that it be opened. It seems that Turner street is one that has got so far and no far-. ther, and the residents are anxious that it should have two ends to it. Several surveys have been made for the missing link, and oace a sewer line was put down. Unbeknownst, some one built a house right in the middle of the street, and upon the sewer line. The board -svished to know whether the residents along the part of the street already opened would be willing to pay their pro rata of the damages assessed by a jury, if any, but no one seemed to be informed on this subject. There was a protracted discussion. Mr. Bostic was finally requested to visit the owners of property over which the proposed street would run and see what each would ask for the necessary amount of land. Two building permits were granted, one on Penland and one on Depot street, the former to Mr. Garren and the latter to J. M. Childe. City Engineer Lee's report on the proposition of moving the fire alarm bell from the county court house to the city hall was read. He said he had made an examination and found that the bell could safely be placed in the j tower. It would be necessary to lay strong girders upon the brick - walls, re move the window lattices, enlarge the openings and lay tin upon the floor, to carry out the water. Mr. Lee further reported that the building being erected by Mr. Wallace on T.pxinarton avenue was not in ac cordance with the requiremnts of the city ordinance as to buildings within th- fire limits, inasmuch as the rear ot the building was of frame con st! union. Mr. Wallace said th? rear whs to be covered with corrugated iron. Mr. Waddell said the board had re fused innumerable applications for per mits for iron buildings in the fire limit. Mr. Wallace said Mr. Wooctbury had irc-tntly erected and had once or twice ma le additions to a tin covered build ing on College street, and that a wood en addition had recently been made to Oatt-s" livery stable. It develcped that Either of these had made applications to the aldermen for permits. There a? a protracted discussion, and the matter was referred to the building , We Ve fen J "V" they sell. men, the The Corner TRUNKS COURT SQUARE wiiw JC.

"It will I De of no use to the city," remarked one member of the board, "after it has been moved." The fire -bell matter was re ferred to the chairmen of the fire and market house committees.
