NewBUafor Market Street Werk To Provide a Fire Boat Heating Plant far eity Hall aad Opera Honte. New Ordlaaacea Adopted. The Board of Aldermen held a long and an important meeting, continuing until nearly 13 o'clock Uat ntohL Mayor Springer presided and ail mem ber of the Board were present except Alderman W. E. Yopp. Objection having, been made on the ground of irregularity, the BtreeU and Wharves Committee withdraw taa xaaaeamaada tiona la regard to award of contract for tbe Market atreet paving and drainage and will eall for new bids; appropriations were made for the In stallation of modern beatlnr plants in the City Hall and.Opera House: it wa decided to provide the city with a fire tug for tbe better protection of prop erty on tha water front; a number of ordinances of more or less importance were adopted and the usual depart mental report were received. THX rntB TTJO PROVIDED. The arrangement for the fire tug were upon recommendation of a com mittee from tbe Chamber of Com merce, conaiitlng of Mr. J. A. Arring- dale, chairman; Preeldent J. A. Tay lor and Mr. C O. Chadbourn. who were preaent in advocacy of better protection for wharf property. Ltter endoraicg the movement were pre sented by the committee and read from Fire Chief Chaa. Bchnlbben and Meearr. Wlllard & Giles, Insurance agents, the former reciting the Inade quate conditlona along the wharf and the latter calling special attention to the amount of property at risk along the river on both aide. President Taylor, of the committee, waa given tbe courleay of the floor to preaent the matter in behalf of the committee and he urged very cogent reasons why something should be done to remedy existing conditions. He also outlined an arrangement which could be made with Capt. Edgar D. Wil lUmr, master of tbe tug "Marlon," ho had offered to equip hla boat with a pump of 3.000 aralloaa per minute; keep a crew la waiting at all time and the craft under ateam, and to respond to all alarms from alone; tha water front for $1,350 per year, the city to f urniah the hoae, a supply of which la already on hand. The f laa waa ffoaa into at Uaajlklav these columns aome time ago, aad after a thorough diACUttion laat night, upon motion of Alderman Tiencken, It was decided to appropriate the $1,350 neo- eieary and the Fire Committee waa Instructed to urge concurrence In the action before tbe Board of Audit and Finance. The . motion waa unani mously carried. OOaOfTTTXa EXPORTS GALLED. The Finance Committee, through Chairman W. H. Yopp, reported ad versely upon application of J. E. Sharp for rebate of taxea. Further time waa aaked for investigation of the application of Mrs. Mitt Moore in rela tion to back taxes. Ia tbe matter Of the application of Armour A Co. the committee made no recommendation. Alderman Haahagea referred to the aulta now pending la coart and said be thought the matter would In time take care of Itself. If the Armour people are not paying their tax they should be sued. The City Attorney being called upon for an opinion aa to llablll ty said he would prefer a little time to look Into the matter. Mr. Haahagen said there were also other companies liable. ' Chairman Sweeney, of the Sanitary Committee, referred to the epidemic of diphtheria and scarlet fever In the dty acd quoted from an Interview with tbe Superintendent of Health, who. attributed the prevalence of the disease to lack of care on the part of parent and poorly ventilated school rooms. Tba question of whether tha city has any jurisdiction over the city schools was raited. Mr. Tiencken said In any event th'e school authori ties would consider any communica tion that might be aent them. In this connection the report of the City Superintendent of Health wa read. Tbe report state that 50 death and 77 births had occurred In the dty dur ing the month, 4,830 inspections bad been made by the health officers. Olher statistical information was given and upon tbe subject of contagious diseases tbe report says: ' "There were quarantined during tbe month 15 cases of diphtheria and 11 case of scarlet fever. Bix caaea of diphtheria and nine of acarlet fever are now eaTectlve. While there la an Increase of the num ber of cases reported during the month over the previous month, in compar ing Ihe cases with previous yeara It shows that we have a less number of eases, than we had In 1898 and 1903. The cause as you well know of the greaUr number of cases occurring In the Winter Is the gathering of school children in- schools after vacation spent in the open air and the ventila tion In school rooms, and then the negligence which some parenU treat alight aore throat and mild rashes, which. If It atUcka aome other, would prove malignant, and cause a spread of the disease" Chairman Haahagea, of tha Light Committee, reported that the lighU were giving fairly good satisfaction. The extra lighU oa Front atreet, pro mised by the company, had been In stalled and were a great Improvement. v. 1 r a. a 1 Mr.,Tiencaen ark-aaooui wo uguw wanted in Fifth ward. Mr. Hasbagen said t tin cammittee wanted to make tour or ine on I'gDts in toe city a ex week and wcuid then see what could be done. EX POET ON STREETS AUD "WHARVES. Alderman Sweeney reported for the Streets acd Wharves Committee that the contracts for the paving of Market street and the drainage upon the same had been recommended to be awarded to tbe Coal, Cement and Supply Co. and W. E. Glenn, respectively, and that if the Board of Aldermen ap proved the action of the committee, the formal contracts then submitted by the City Attorney would be signed on the following day. He alto re ported that the rock quarry had com menced operations and that the road roller would be ready as soon as repair parts are received. Alderman Hashagen called atten tion to the deep grade made by the C. B.. L. & P. Co. in extending its track at Ninth atreet depot to ita yards be low. -The-Mayor aatd-tbaStreeta-aitd Wharvea Committee would at occe look into the matter, and if the privi lege- granted had been abused the com mittee would see that the aame is rectified or the company Bued. Mr. Tiencken said there was need of a re newal of the old law that all excava tions shall be made under the super vision of the Superintendent of Streets acd that bond shall be given. Alder man W. H. Yopp explained the ac tion of the committee and said that he had no idea that any excavations were contemplated. Alderman Sweeney, continuing his report, aaked for an appropriation of $15 for the purchase of two band sweepers to be used by convicts from the Mayor's court in doing special cleaning work along principal thor oughfares. Tbe matter was continued with the Street and Wharves Com mittee. OBJECTION TO AWARD OF CONTRACT. Mr. Boger Moore was present and, by permission, addressed the Board in reference to the paving contract, and aaid the original bid of the Coal, Ce ment & Supply Co. waa not according to specifications and ahould have been thrown out He was a bidder for the paving at $1.87 and thought he should have had the contracts he conformed to the specifications in every detail. Mr. Moore also entered his protest against the award of the contract for the drainage, saying that all bida were at first rejected when he was the low est bidder, and that subsequently he was given no chance of bidding. Fur ther cross-fire of questions and an swers a to detail ensued. Alderman P. Q. Moore moved, but the motion was not seconded, that the bid bs awarded to the Coal, Cement & Supply Co., Mr. Roger Moore hav ing withdrawn any objection, saying he had ao purpose other than to hi statement to the Board. Alderman W. H. Yopp, of the committee, said he preferred not to have the committee's report adopted In the light of the ob jection, and that he moved that all bids be rejected by the committee and new proposala be invited. The motion of Mr. Yopp was unanimously adopted and new bids will be called for. OTHER COMMITTEE REPORTS. Chairman Moore, of the Police Com mittee, reported that M. E. Guy and N. M.
