A.
the instance and for the benefit Of few, who,
your re"onstrants think, are to be greatly bene
fitted by the same,' but they do not demonstrate
against the true object Of tho resolution, even il
ITS provisions should be carried into effect which,
your committee unde rstand to be: to trade the
Warner Building property. or the proceeds Of
the same, for the property specih-d-if such a
trade can be made on good terms and, in the
opinion Of the committee, for the best intercs.
OF the city. On the contrary, your committee
ara satisfied that several, whose names are upon
said Remembrance, are decidedly In favor Of the
project; therefore. while We pay all Difference to
the vie ws and wishes Of said remonstrauts. we
are Of the opinion, that they were induced to

to the true moaning of tho resolution, previously
still Of opinion that it would be advantageous to
