the Board that The majority report was based on ero
Becus calculations and they to in a1d concur
with the other Board in important by which
the interests OF many 10 be sacrificed this
port passed without chance Of ninaton by
committee Of THEIR Boardl 1t had al ways his
practice to u reference TO q committee when the
subject Of any Importance That Board
separate and distiLc branch of the Common Council
the House OF Representatives, was OF the State Lsss
ture and what would be thought OF who. in his
place so ud at with the Senate
without giving them opportunity of reading 1t!
They certainly did in some small matters Occasionally
coLcur but in such this he trusted there was too
much good sense IL their duty to consider the
petitions which had been presented against it, and could
them have chance of being heard? II hope sir said
he "this report will be referred TO thu Committee
Street.-The ssme committee to which the petitions
referred
Mr. RING would like to know from that committee, all
Of WIS whether they pre- pared
report and recommend it!
Mr.. rRorIERmy object in asking the reference is,
that they msy report the facts to this Board II very
likely they all may have made up their minds
Mr. Bou1os thought it very strange that any
Der Of that Board should not have read It, lis would
xibdraw his motion to read the resolution only.
Mr. TRoTTER replied the gentleman need not express
any astonishment The report had been properly
