At the NAV session The Committee open
their report upon the Tea with appropriate
asseyerations Of their earnest desire to promote
the public good. They are especially soilcitous Tor
the interests of those who are likely to be aected
nv the deliberations Of the Committees OF ether
Board, upon which the subsequent ACTON o' Tue
Cannon Council may be based. the Committee
are of opipion that the trainers Of the Amended
Charter. when providing for the Stated Sessions
made il n paramount consideration that ali suUJeCIs
of importance should be referred to appropriate
Committees for examination during fecess--snd
that il is fact well known that many oil the SUD
ieots TINS presented aud referred TO Committees,
veyy largely affect the pecunary interests oil pro
nerty.h holders and other tax payers; ana as con-
sequence the meetings OF such committees are
rnest generally very numerousy ATTENDED, oy per
.ops ipterested--that toe Committee men are una
ble to leave their private pursuits until alter the
cyd;nar nv hours of business to o clock 4 M ana,
Gr,hs,more that many of said COmml,teem men re-
aide at great distances from the CITY man. ana are
thus unable "to obtain their tea at their resldehce
and arrive at the City Hall ia time 10 trans act ous
meas at such hours" Being unwilling TO go iastlnS
thev now urge with exceeding earnestness tue
propriety OF giving the fat things OF thls lie 70 salu
Committees, when engaged in SAID arduo9s oeties'
"Whereas" say the Committee, refresh
ynents were provided at the City Han as hereto
fore all this vexation and loss of time would be
avoided and the public business greatly promotes.
The Committee go on to review the arguments
which have been advanced, and the great stress
laid upon the large expenditure incurred ias' year
for Tea Room suppers They are "declueuY VI
oninion that that expenditure was mact larger man
Jovpbf 10 hare been" Abuses are Acknowledged,
he Committee DO not deem 1t necessary to par
ticularize in this respect The assertion Is put Ot
ward that with iudclous arrangements, the requi-
site refreshments ior the Committees wiii no!
exceed $1,000 per annum The number oil days
service in open session is estimated at ~ IN each
vsar-eiving S25s each member. Allowing the
cost of Commute &c Suppers 10 be $4,000 per annum
thi. amount incresied $40 for each member-or
an aggregate Of $3.50 per annum each. In conciu,
.iop The Committee suggest that the Tea should
r. ,s,,ored or that the section of the Ordinance al
lowing 81 per day for legislative services should
be re aled, and the members have the credit o.
servipg the public gratuitOusly-So much Tor the
