airy, A. d. 1858, A. L. 1858, the following
preamble and resolutions were unanin ously
adopted, to wit;
WHEREAS, it has pleasedthe Grand Master on

Resolved, That this Lodge will attend, in
Lodge capacity, the funeral of our late brother,
from his late residence, and deposit bis remains

was beloved by US asa brother devoted to the
principles of our Order, and deeply imbued with
an enlarged and truly Masonic charity. n
This Lodge tenders to the afflicted widow and

GiYer OF all good, to a sphere Of more enlarged

Total amount collected,

Mr.. A. o. Nash, the Auditor, reported
$3.50 80, as the amount Of money paid into the
Treasury during the month of January.
Mr. Bowling stated that there was difficult
ty about what constitutes taverns. His own
opinion was, that il person sells liquor, he
ought to be made to pay dram-shop license, Inc
stead of tavern license, although it has been
customary TO allow tavern license to persons
selling liquor. The subject was referred to
committee on Ordinances, with instructions TO
report amendments TO the ordinance relating to
dram-shop and tavern licences.
His Honor the Mayor, remarked that a man
who sold liquor as his sole business, was
charged just four times as much for license as a
man who also sold liquor, but in addition, kept
a few boarders. If he had few more beds, he
came under law of the State allowing taverns
to sell liquor. They enjoyed some advantages
from being prepared to entertain travellers
though it was desirable to place all persons sell
ing liquor on just and equal footing. Referred
to the committee on ordinances -Gano, Richards
and Settles.
Mr.. Settles stated that the city had been
charging Mr., M. w. Buford fifty dollars year
for keeping billiard table, whereas, the State
allows only $33 l-3. A motion was adopted tc
refund TO MIR. BufOrd the excess on the six
months for which he had paid.
Mr.. Settles suggested that the brick and 9TH
er materials remaining from the calaboose be
sold by the street commissioner, under direc.
ton of the committee on streets and alleys, "a
the best advantage.
Mr.. Schneider stated that several thousand
feet of grading had been done by the city where
there were yet no side walks. He suggested
the giving Of 40 days notice to property hold
ers. -. -.
Mr.. RObards thought this too premature
Brick are $40 a thousand; are not in town al
that, and property holders cannot afford to i'm
port; brick or stone could not be obtained and
laid down in forty days, and if this resolution
passes, the city will insfsrty days have to foot
bills to the amount of $1,000. He suggested
that the time should be prolonged.
The Mayor thought that in order legally tc
collect, in case the city should have the work. tc
do, it would be necessary 70 pass a special ordi,
nance for each street, where every item of work
in each street should be specially mentioned.
Mr.. Settles called attention to the appoint
ment of night watch. Some of the county
patrol had threatened to go to Palmyra and
throw up their Offices, because the pay allowed
by the county was not sufficient.
Without taking action on this subject, the
council adjourned, to meet again in a week, or
when called together by the Mayor.

Mr.. Martin suggested a building, the FIRST

for ealaboose; the second for court rooms and
Offices; and the third for the City Hall.
