Mr.. ScoIEs offered remarks in relation 10 it.
call was then made for the reading of the or

He said that one was quite sufhcient-the salaries
of the various officers would eat pal the revenue
that could be derived from the water-he was also
opposed to the power given by to the Croton CON-
mtee, nothing being in the ordinance requiring the
committee to report their doings to the Common
COuncll-it also gives them the power OF liking
rents, NC, which he was opposed TO.
Assistant Alderman w. DODGE said that only one
OF the commissioners was to be paid-the others
being selected from gentlemen of leisure and ability,

He was followed by Assistant Alderman WATER

spoke of the necessity of right start on so momen
tous matter. He hoped it would not pass this eve
ming.
Assistant Alderman ScoLEs said that he was glad
the discussion had taken place. Gentlemen had
racked their ingenuity in discovering error, and SO
little being shown, was a compliment to the ordi-

in favor Of the measure.
