Previous to taking the question the whole ordinance
as whole. Alderman WATERMAN of the 9th offered an
article requiring the erection Of public slaughter houses
on the North and East Rivers at points to be designated
by the Common Council, where all cattle the use Of
the city shall be slaughtered and inspected by persons
appointed by the Common Council for that purpose
Alderman WATERMAN also oferel the following reso.
luonBeiore this ordinance shall take effect the pre-
the public markets. shall be refunded to them Referred
TO the Finance Committee.
After some discussion by Alderman WATERMAN and
Alderman W. DODGE the ordinance was adopted as a
whole by a vote OF 10 tot.
Alderman scoLEs then moved to take up document No
81 on the contract for cleaning the streets.
Several remonstrances from paving citizens were
readthe purport of them in favor Of dividing the
city into districts not giving the whole 10 one con
tractor-of limiting the contract TO one yesrthe con-
tractors to give security for the performance work
and the contracts to be given by advertisement to the
Alderman WATERMAN moved to refer this document to
The Committee Cleaning the Streets with reerenceto
wing expenditure of per annum 400 900 in
the 1--WE years during which the contract is rum he
s proper that the subject should be fully cCns
lose nothing by reference; We may lose much by hasy
action The motion for reference was lost.
Alderman ScoLEs moved that this Board now concur
with the Board OF Aldermen in the adoption Of the
luton and form of contract and the resolutions appended
thereto.
Alderman BRowS objected to entering into any such
contract for tho whole Of five years. We know not
what changes may take place In that time
Alderman WATERMAN would first enquire into the au-
thory Of the Corporation to enter into such contract
pedgng the city for term OF years exceeding
the current year. He cited sections 10 and 10 Of
amended charter relative the power the city to bor
row money, Sc without the authority OF the Legislature
II we have authority to let the years
then why not for 10, so, 100, or 600 years7
IL Is needless TO say the votes this contract question
were all OF party characters democrats voting against
It, and nine wings in favor. There q great many
objections raised and answeredin the Of VIII itch
