Mr. Iytm opposed this proposition. proposi-tion. Mr. James said he supriosed the council wanted to be just, and if a mistake had been made it should lie corrected. A mistake has been made. I looked at the work on that street today and 1 consider it an outrage. There wa no necessit v for it in lue world no more than there is to dig up all other streets iu the city. 11 ha been used for twenty years, and the change makes It no better. The grade up Capitol Hill has to le overcome any wa v. Are you going to cut down clear" to Kn-sigu Kn-sigu Peak? I say there is not another an-other such piece of engineering work In all the country. Washington Washing-ton City is built on hills, and ha the best engineer In the world, ljt there is no such work there. The hill where Uie Capitol is built was every inch of it maintained, and it aads to the beauty of the city. The cutting down of Ssuth Temple btreet Is a mistake, and It has cot thousands of dollars of the leoplc'is money unnecessarily. The sidewalks side-walks were cut down without rea-sou, rea-sou, and now the street must Ihj cut .nirn also, at a waste of money -Mr. IVmlroke-I call the gentleman gentle-man to onler. MayorScott The gentleman Is In order. Sir. James If you don't like It, you need not listen. As long as I speak to the motion and am resect ful in my language, this council will hear me. The grade, of Sottth Temple was gcodi atti there was no necessity or a change. Why do we dig down Uie sidewalks In that wajT Is it so we must dig the streets down also, and thus waste the people's money?
