Tea Room-The resolution passed the other
Board restoring the Tea room, the cost OF which,
the report said, would not be over 5000 year
was called up, and dissent shown to it by Asst
Aid Alderman, Smith, Francis, Mccarthy, Ward,
Sands, Webb Barr Alvord, Kpp. and indeed by
nearly all the members. The motion for concur
put and lost, l6 to the latter being the
President and Asst. Aid. Dean being absent The
report spoke Of the Tea room being properior Com
mittees--that it was a time honored usage, &c.
The report estimates that the 81 per diem allow
ance TO members Of the Common Council will be
for six meetings month, making s2ss year Tor
each member, for the Tea room will be $40 each,
at $1,000 year lit cost $4,000 last year, but the
report thinks from extraneous causes 30 that the
allowance to members with the Tea room would be
$3.50 year each, this while heads OF departments
are setting from 81 900 10 $4,000 year each,
ard the Clerks TO departments getting 5000 TO
o. 500 each, and the former Of the Clerks consider
themselves poorly paid, although they have regu-
lar hours and but little TO do compared with mem
bers OF the Common Council, &c. Asst Aid. Ack-
elman said he would be willing to vote for the Tea
room ifthe per diem allowance were rescinded, bat
not in addition to it. Asst. Aid. Frsncis would be
willing that Committees only should furnished with
refreshments but that could not be done-restorins
the system would restore the old abuses and every
body come there for meals and the Common Coun-
Gil have to bear the name Of the expense. The re-
suit OF the vote seemed to give muck satisfaction to
the members and rather hearty laugh at the ex-
peDse Of the President, in which, however he took
a part. Adjourned TO this afternoon.
