and resolutions, which were adopted, the rules

The Committee on Streets and Landings bee
leave to report, That d. l. Wasson, who purchased
the contract for repairing the Vegetable Market
| applied to the Committee to be released from hi
bid, for the reasons that he had made an error jr
his calculations, and could not do the market a
| the price he had taken it at. The Committe
would not entertain said application on the ground
set for therein; at the same time, on further con
sideration of the subject as to the actual necesst
of repairing said market, it was deemed expedien
in view of the outlay required by the specifications
and said repairs not being Indispensable, to aban
don the same for this season, and the farming
the market having since been sold as it stood, ,
| the Committee recommend that D. ]. Wasson
| allowed 10 withdraw his bid.
BY virtue OF resolution, passed the 18th Oct
the Committee invited proposals during thirty dav
for the furnishing and erection of a town clock il
| the Tower of st. Patrick's Church on Camp street

| & Goodrich, of this city, and Messrs. Henard 4
Davis, of Boston, through Mr.. E. A. Tyler, of thi
place The Committee regret that neither of tn

, proposals to the Council, the Committee ould be-
observe that from the information they have re
ceived, they satisfied that suitable clock can
| not be procured at the limit previously contem
| plated, and the erection of inferior article
!. | merely on the of economy, would be none
| thrown away.
( Il The Engineer of the Dredge Boat has reporte
| that the Dredge requires repairs, and the repor
1
| recommend the present as favorable time for hay
ing her repaired, and that contract to that end
sold.

n | Canals require cleaning and deepening, and tn
| Committee recommend that the work be done b
| contract.
in The opening out, TO the Western Ridge, of tn
e Common Street Shell Road, has on several occs
- | sions been brought to the notice of the Counci
d The Committee have had the subj act under consi
| deratpn fimp and alIhOuuh the
n | deem it inexpedient in the present state of tn
Treasury to suggest improvements, not indispensa
n BILE, yet believing that it is to the interest of the MI
nicpality, and due to the property holders who hay
in | contributed towards the expense of making sa
y Road, that said opening should be carried out
early day as conveniently practicable, recon
s. mend that the preliminary steps OF giving the usu

es ground on Claiborne street.
