like will come the City to the amount Of 10000
and this with 100000 for the Aims House and Board
of Education will make 100000, and will be- a very
large item in the present tsxes. There arc a
great many of those jobs get through for the benefit
Of interested individuals and are managed In such
way o. that when they come here we have more
power than merely to vote the estimates. Some of
these come to this Board from the last and previous
Boards, and would like that gentlemen when called
to give fret to such resolutions this one
to recoect that either epresen future Board
will have to vote the estimates to complete the works
If matters were properly looked into the public would
that this Board not to blame for the present rate
of high taxes Resolution referred
Aid ALyoRD presented resolution to the effect that
the Common Council be empowered to lease plot Of
ground In Fourth-s., between Twenty sixth and
Twenty seventhsts., for the purpose OF building q
house TO accommodate two engine companies. SINH
lar resolution, he said, had passed before but when IL
went to the Controller and the Counsel OF the Corpo.
ration they said II not sufficiently explicit and
quested further instructions
Aid. BARD-lf resolution passed this Board before
on the subject do not why should pass another.
Aid. ALvoRD-The former resolution was not suf.
fcieniy definite and lease could not be drawn up
cording to It's terms
Aid DESmAN--I do not what exactitude the mat.
ter requires. We passed resolution that the plot Of
Controller and Of the law officer of the Corporation
carry that resolution into effect.
AID. WARD-l would be most DESTROYS to know II
the gentleman from the XVIIIth has had the sanction
and directions of the Controller, to how he would
act in this matter, and to the manner 10 which the
resolution should be drawn up We all know the alice
ton the Controller has for the splitting of hsirsand it
may be that In the former resolution there not sui
fcent dividing of cents half cents aud quarter cents
and that feet half feet and inches had been laid down
with sufficient exactitude, his taste. II
the gentleman OF the XyIh assures that he hss the
perfect and entire consent Of the Controller TO this
resolution in every part particular and entire, will
vote for its passage but II he has not; will move that
it be referred back to the Controller for special In.
structens in order that he may direct this Board what
to do and how to act for If we pass now and that
he not satisfied, will only have here again or.
better still it would be, think, If Committee of the
Board were deputed to walt on the Controller and in
ve him to cit here the director aud monitor In our
proceedings.
Aid. AIvoRD-We had some difficulty in finding
lot Of ground, and as these companies much in
want of place to put their engines hope the resolu
ton will be passed.
Aid. TwEED-i would be as DESTROYS any person
to obige these Companies, but have no notion of
ri6cing my position and sefrespect to crafty the
whm or caprice Of any man. The resolution was
Straightforward and proper, and gave the officers suh
Gent power to act on it and carry out the matter Yet
it must be sent back here in order that people
may show how much they superior to others in
their mode of doing business. We be instructed
by them what We are and what we are not to do. We
to be whipped into their views and measures for
one, will not submit to this, nor sacrifice myself to
crafty the whm Of any man.
Aid. DENMAN-In what said did no, intend re-
Elections on any one. There have been many things
passed here not exactly in accordance with the chsr
ter but these were easily rected by the law officer of
the Corporation. If there anything not strictly
proper in the resolution passed should have been
