Walker and C. A, Williams Late R. II. Jordan-Fire Escape Ordinance Enforced. Narrow strips of cloth lying on wires have so remedied the acoustic properties of the council chamber that it is now possible for. every member who has something to say for the good of the city to be heard. Although there was no matter of grave importance before the board, the meeting last night was not with out interest, and several matters gave the members a splendid chance to trv the acoustic of the hall. . The Casino picture show matter, which has been before the Board of Public Safety since last summer, and which like, Banquo's ghost and the abatoir, "will not down," came up again last night, and the aldermen were asked to shoulder the responsi- bilitv of allowing the building to stand. Messrs. E. R. Preston and F. M. Shannonhouse appeared for Mr. Tate Powell, the manager of the Casino. They presented petitions from the property owners on either side of the street asking that the show be allowed to continue, and testifying to the fact that there was no danger from Are. It was finally decided that the mat ter be left wMth the mayor to allow the show to continue as long as there was no objection from the fire insur ance companies, and the rates were not raised. Another matter, which came kite iiij the proceedings was the election of; a member of the Public Safety Board to succeed Mr. J. O. Walker, who resigned. Mr. Frnest AY. Berrvhill and Mr. Z. A. Hinson were placed in .nomination. The first ballot resulted .in 14 voles for Mr. Berryhill, and 3 for Mr. Uni son. Alderman C. A. Williams, who is now on the Health Board, was elect ed to fill the vacancy on the water board caused by the death of Mr. R. H. Jordan, and Rev. George A. Page was elected to fill Mr. Walker's place on the fireman's relief fund corn mil tee. Mr. S. Wittkowsky and Dr. E. Reid ; Russell appeared before the hoard! and asked that some action be taken; in regard to the electric wire poles on; East Fifth street. Mr. Wittkowsky; said that if the wires could not be pku-ed under ground some ordinance as to the size of the poles should be passed, as it was unfair on this nar row sidewalk to have most of the room taken up with poles. An ordinance requiring tne poies 10 be removed within 00 days v.-as pass ed. Mr. Earl McCausland appeared be fore the board and asked that cement sidewalks be placed on Poplar street from Trade to Tenth avenue. It was stated that this would cost about $2,000, and that the matter was left with the finance committee witli pow er to act. Alderman Bunn introduced a reso lution repealing the ordinance which prohibits residents from keeping pigs within 200 feet of a residence. This applies to the new wards of the city, which are sparsely settled. Mr. J. Calvine Grier, a fish mer chant on West Trade street, appeared before the board, and stated that the moving picture shows had in-n-paspri rents, and that he had been made to get out of his place on the West Trade street, and asked per mission to erect a corrugated non 47 building just in fhe rear of the Alex ander drug store. Many of the aldermen were just oh the noint of allowing this petition, when Alderman J. W. Wadsworth, who was in the chair, called attention to the fact that the board had no right to grant these privileges mthe face of the ordinance, which was on the books of the city. The request was referred. Col. Kirkpatrick wanted additional lights in his wards, and it was left with the light committee. This called from the mayor another note of warning as to the city's finan ces. He stated that these things, while they were necessary, called for money, and that every order of this kind meant the spending of money. The fire escape ordinance cam.e up. and a committee was appointed to see that this was eniorceu. Fire Chief W. S. Orr called atten tion to the dangerous condition of the rock quarry, at the foot of Col lege street, and suggested that a fence be built around it.
