Five new taps Were not in June. Then came the astounding state- ment that 28 persons had connected house or barn roof drainage with the sewers, a thing which is strictly pro- hibited by thymdininw, amt they suspect 23 more,- over 50in all, the 28 are sure. It in charitable to sup pose most of these folks never thought anything about doing wrong by con necting their roofs with the seWers. The attorney was instructed to en- force the ordinance against these things at once. and some suits will soon be instituted‘ if any. till the cuuncil inspect and approve the work.

The'petition of the Gray Electric bicycle” was re- ‘ (used, but after some discussion at‘ the suggestion of Col. deidson the plan of scraping a wheel path on one side of the street was ordered to see how it works. Col. Davidson and Attorney Smoot spoke strongly for the wheelnien: the chief objection raised to the petition was that it was illegal. There seemed a very kind- ly feeling for the bicyclists. Col.
