offered Alderman Copeland then proposed as an amendment that the money be equally divided between the words Daddy Story came to the rescue of his darling by objecting to this amendment and insisting that every ward was provided for in his grand scheme Alderman Lockwood objected to Alderman Copeland's amendment deeming it a slight to the honorable city council We believed the people had confidence in this august body to spend all the money of cily Alderman Pauly then split a hair or two and completely floored the magnificent orator from the second ward by stating that his objection was a distinction without a re- mark entirely original with Pauly Then the motion of Alderman Herg to tack on the streets was further amended by adding Laredo ami Goliad streets but when it came to throwing in King William streel Daddy Story had to object evidently he don't like King William His honor interposed a sensible suggestion but it fell unheeded among the aldermanic nurses who were now busy rocking rag baby he suggested that he did not know of any provision under which people could vote on the improvement of particular streets But the following was added to the report of the committee

crossing of the G II S A railroad extension Now to all this there was not a dissenting vote Alderman Story's rag baby must now go through the ballot box We doubt if there was ever passed through the city council such a complete piece of non- sence No attention has been paid to the charter and the aldermen voted on it without caring one way or other only they did not want to put themselves oil record as opposed to public improvements when in fact they put themselves on record as voting for a measure hat has neither shape or form and leaving it before time expires styles of hats at Son's
