Mr. Merritt moved that the ordinance of regradiug subways be amendM so as to comply with the opinion ot City Attorney Johbson vtx. that the subways be constructed between the east line of Washington avenue and west line of Lyon street. In making bis motion Mr. Merritt said ho did not llilnk sucl) "an "amendment necessary but made the motion to set the bull to rolling.

Mr. Tompkins raised the point that there were not two third of the council present, therefore the ordlpance could not be amended. Mr. Merritt replied that It was not necessary to amend the. ordinance.

It would do no good and of course would do no harm. 3Ir. Wear sahMhe people on the north side were In favor of having the subways and begin voting on the lMinds. He therefore moved to amend the ordinance. Again Mr.

Tompkins called attention to the fact that It requires a two tblrila vote and there were not euotigh members present. A iiioi lou instrnet the nnnrcnnt ftt; arm t. bring In the absent member va iiiiiile and carried. While the sergeiint at arms was out huutiug for the derullct couucuuien tlmse present discuied the advbn billty of amending the ordinance on thereby bad hu opportunity to Uipluy their eloquenoe. Mayor Walker said that thete was great danger of losing the Frisco fcbops and he cautioued the council about dolug anything tunt migbt Jeop ardize the interest of the city, lie wanted the council to get together and he wanted the lieople to get together, vote the Ixmds and construct the subways, otherwise Mr.

"The ordln" mice said Mr. Merrett, "drew oue ordinance and that dots uut suit him, now let him draw oue that will suit before the' above motion was put a half, dozen otiier motions were made and after mucli" wrangling Mr. Tonitiklus withdrew bis motion which carried with It Mr. Merritt'k subtltute. Mr.

MeColIum moved tnaCiiie ordin be referred to the police committee, hjL r. Merritt moved as nutmtltute that it lie referred to the elty uttoruey. Substitute Mr. Merritt said It as evident that the council, would' do' nothing at this meeting. north side people ought to agree upon the locution of the subways and lie believed the councilmeh "of the Seventh and Eighth wards ought come to some understanding.

In velw of this fact and the further fact that It would take some time to draw up the ordinance so us to conform to the opinion of the city attorney, he would therefore move that to adjourn nntll Wednenday nlxlit.
