City Council Proceedings. The proceedings
of Friday evening were of very little interest.
In the First Branch an ordinance was reported
for widening Little Aisquith st. from Pitt to
East Baltimore ST.; it was read. A copy of a
law passed by the Legislature authorship the
construction of a Branch of the Baltimore and
Susquehanna Rail Road to Westminster, was

A .New City Hall. The "city fathers'' oil
Baltimore, are looking about them for a new
City Hall, one which, while it will be more
commodous, will reflect some honor on our
prosperous city, and be in keeping with the i'm
provements of the day. The present building
is certainly a meagre affair for n City HAHN
appearances, inconyenient in arrangement, and
too small in its dimensions for the increased bu-
siness devolving upon the officers OF the cor
poration-but whether the city treasury Is IN
a condition at present TO admit of an eXpen-
diture sufficiently large to procure better
one, we are not prepared to say. We notice,
however, that the Councils have before them
no less than five propositions on the subject
The first is to erect u Hall on Gen'l Smiths
property in Exchange Place, the second to
purchase and fit up the Exchange, the third to
purchase additional property adjoining the
Gay street Lot and build thereon, the fourth
to obtain the Holiday st. Theatre and lot
north of it, and the fifth to make improvements
