m. TWEED, Alderman Seventh Ward.
II will be recollected that the Council held only
The eight sessions for which they receive pay, ad-
iouung tie very minute that their treasury drafts
were stopped and the average length of'each ses.
SION was something less than two hours. The law
to restore the tea table. 1t will be recoected, was
passed on the very last night of the January sitting
and consequently the entire bill above printed mus
have been incurred on that night-nothing cowa
have been used before that PERIOD since such An act
vould have been unlawful and the present re-
ma,aabv conscientious Common Council never
xoulA do ANYTHING unlawful Under the law, then,
IA are bound to believe that the Aldermen and AS
atlantis ate but one supper at the pubic expense In
January. Let us see what constitutes supper TOT an
Alderman There are forty members IN ALL we
divide the bill of fare by 49, and find that each Alder
man ate or carried of the following
Eight lbs beef a chicken and half one-seventn
of turkey 225 oysters; II los. venison ~ los.

Since the Conn mon Council placed
upon The shoulders Of the street. Commissioner the
sek Of keeping the cutters clear OF ice, there has
been very general and just complaint OF ice-covered
sdewslks and flooded Easements. Tho idea OF
sending out men 10 excavate more than eight hun
3sd miles OF cutters every time cold night and q
nov storm have filled them, is tt specimen OF tea
tecn wisdom. The only motive in doing 90 was to
nave tho chance OF saying 20 tour or nve nunored
hsssu lust before election" We are the party that
yaN yeu work last winter, and here's the regular
Dimnycratic ticket, boys" The people may not be
unwilling TO pay for having cutters cleaned, but the
Nsa Of having it done by the Street Department 10
III ssrssnse. The very moment the ground Is COW
ssdvish snow, the men expected to be so anxious
soft for the city, turn up their noses at the ten
.alAss and tell the Inspector that they can
make three times that sun by cleaning side walks
onps"sse account. So no work is done the gut
sas are full Of Toe, the people are growing, and
1e common Council 10 slipping brandy and cram
~'ns 'hsir pockets with cigars.
