AID Royce ssid lam against allowing the Counsel for
the CORPORATION any more salary There il no, more
lucrative flee in the City Ststc and if report be
true the present incumbent has made 10000 during
his term Of Office. Under such circumstances il is
hardly worth the while OF the friends OF the incoming
Counsel TO come here and ask for the pal.ry sum of
$1,000
Mr. Tweed said do not think that the Office is so
yerylucraiive, and judge from the fact that Mr. Davies
the present Counsel didnot make the first effort for
denomination, which he would fit was go profitable
sststed as it in human nature 70 enfevor to hold
and keep what was profitable
AID Boyce said: We know that he got sl2 600 in one
tuu and that sum would make any one in the Seventh
Ward rich and independent do not exactly know if
the oficeis so profitable, but it is so stated
Aid Denman said do not consider We ought to
enter the question of granting new clerks at all
Should he require more assistance, the Corporation
Counsel is well able to afford paying Them He has
three clerks already, and any well paid should
do some ofthe work himself and do it well too indie
pendent Of his salary from the Corporation he had
costs in all suits in which he engaged for the Cor.
poration whether he succeeded or not and this made
sn immense lie OR. D. was alec against grant
ing additional accommodation, the rooms ut present
allowed were sufficient.
Alderman Sturtevant explained that there were only
two rooms at present occupied by the Corporation
Counsel and that there were sometimes three Com
mittees sitting there together, and that they inconve
nienced each other and interrupted the clerks in the
Office by their talking. VIVA. sufhced i've years ago
would not do now, and what was sufficient would
not be enough tive years 20 come lie (Ald. Sturte-
vanD was sorry pious friend from tfN Fifth TOOK up
the opposition heartily for not to be be-
lieved in lthings and If were Madam Rumor said
that the butter trade very profitable, and that the
Alderman OF the Fifth, though his coat did not
indicate it, rumor ssid hid made his thousands by the
buttering trade. (Laugbter]
Aid. Boyce replied, Ny coat ia warm and that sun
ccnt for me- and whether made by the butter trade is
nothing to the question The question is, ought we to
grant money so frequently az we doi We granted
1000 for services paid for before and now fresh ca
is made by an overpaid officer. Iknowwhere the Cor
porston Counsel charged $50 for drawing up papers
which another lawyer would have done for FIVE shilsgs
and my learned friend of the Third though "he does
things up nice" would do for S. no, no, from Aid
sturtcvantl Well, them for $40. mo, no, from the
samel Yes, but know he would, gentlemen and
for half a dollar. Laughter The Alderman con-
cluded by moving the report lie on fhe table.
AID Tweed said, our Democratic friends have been
so long out of that Office that feel bound to take care
of them now they have got in. move the grant be
made
The motion put md ten having voted in the at
