Noes none The president declared the motion adopted. On motion the following report was order placed upon the minutes. To the Honorable City Council, In the matter of the application for permission to put a storage tank for gasoline under the sidewalk on Walnut Street and connect the same with a pump at the curb, I beg leave to report as follows, The only ordinance on the subject of storing explosives is found in Ordinance No 32 passed in 3889 and that does not cover the subject of the storage of gasoline. Under subdivision 35 of section 6525 of the revised statutes of 1908 the Council is vested with power t<, regulate and prevent storage and transpostation of gunpowder tar, pitch, resin, coal oil, benzine, dynamite ,hemp, cotton nitro-glycerine, petroleum or any of the products thereof, and other combustible or explosive meterial, but so fas as can be ascertained from the rewords and prodeedings of the Council nor ordinance or regulatiorl has been passed and adopted respecting this matter. It is therefore competent for the City Council o pass an ordinance regulating the use of gasoline and other products of petroleum within the corporate limits of the city, In the absence of any express regulations concerning the matter permission might be granted the use of the ground under the sidewalk for such purposes but there ought to be a uniform schedule of regulations respecting this matter before any permits are granted. In the matter of the petition to vacate.a certain portion of Sycamore Street to make it conform with the balance of said street, the Council is vested with the power to vac- ate streets under subdivision 7 of section 6525 of the revised statutes of 1908, and it i within the power of the Council to pass a resolution vacating a certain designated portio of Sycamore Street when the proper description is furnished by the City Engineer for said purpose. In the matter of the compilation of the ordinances of the City, I have to re- port that all ordinances of &'general and permanent nature enacted from the 1st day of November 1905 to the present date have been copied and are now in process of being proof read. I hope at an early date to submit a preliminary report of the proposed revision in connection with this compilation. Dated Fort Collins, Colorado, March J. , 1914 Annis, City Attorney. On motion the City Attorney was instructed to prepare a satidfactory ordinance in re- gards Gasoline and other explosives, whereupon Council adjourned -,City Clerk.
