tlons in the ike of Wharf Number ], as shall

Mr.. 4orke, as Chairman of the Committee on
Fire, reported as follows
Ihe Fire Committee, TO whom was referred the
petition OF sundry persons proposing to establish
IRE Company. TO be called the "Nltivc Anlcri-
can FIR" Company" respectfully Report
mat your Committee full, approaching the
benevolent intentions Of the petitioners wou!I be
glad to report favorably to their application were
not that cogent rea g. OF general policy seem
At the present moment, this Municipality sup-
ports III point Of numbers one half of all he Fire
Companies of the CRY Of New Orleans, viz En-.
CINE Companies Nos l, 2, 5, 6, IL, 10 and H. md
the Louisian and Protection Hose Colnpauic les
altogether nine Fire Companies; and. in roint of
efficiency, it is believed that two-thirs of the eff.
Gent torco Of tho Fire Department OF New Orleans,
is supported BY tho Second Municipality.
The permanent expense Of this Department is
$3.50 per annum, to which is to be added tho con-
slant expense OF procuring new apparatus, to sup
ply the deficiency arising from that which gets OUT
OF repair and is worn out in service, which is very
great-this Municipality having expended since
the DIVISION OF the city, period of about three and
halt years, $751; and twenty three cents in
occurring new apparatus and in ropairs and $685.
az and sevsnty ono cents in the purchase of lots
and on the construction of houses to accommo-
date Fire Companies
Now, when It is understood that our public spr.
tied fremon repair to all parts of the city when
tro occurs, and that their services arc rendered,
ana apparatus used, as much for the protection of
the property Of the citizens of the other Munich
Pat'es as this. your Committee think that the ex-
pense already incurred Ivy this Municipality i.
much more than its just share, and as great 4 pros
portion OF its revenue be appropriated to
this object, with due regard 10 other equally im>
porlant interests.
Undar these circumstances your committee are
reluctantly compelled to report against the increase
of the number of fire companies, ut The cx:,aSe of
this municipality, at the present timc-al of which
is respectfully submitted

On notion, this rppoit was ndOncd
Mr. Rogers, Chairman Of the Police Committee
reported as follows:
That, after examination Of the building
erected by Patrick Mcnamara, as a hlacksrnth's
shop, they find the petitioner has constructed the
SAID hund!ng IN conformity with the existing ordi-
&nccS; they would, therefore, recommend that the
Trayer of said petitioner be granted.
With regard TO the petition of r. Poquetto and
Eusobe Bellcsa, praying permission to establish
Ball Room on the New Lcvcc your committee are
opposed TO granting PERMISSION for said Bal! Room,
or for any establishment Of the SAME cIass-
rs conServatnrs of tho peac. and good order of
this community, NB believe that ball rooms of the
kind intended hy tie petitioners are in ,urlous to
the morals and destructive to that good order VIII CHI
! We endoavor to preserve. The experiences Of past
years has taoght us that such places are only
rendezvous for the prutiga and dlsorery OF both
SEXES, nuisance TO the ncg l5urhopd in which
they are locatc and constant source of riots and
OF trouble to the Recorder and The Police. Under
incan circumstances, would r specially utltr
