DEBATES.
! Dprino the proceedings of the Board Aid Voorhis
moved that when the Board adjourn adourns TO meet at
O'Clock Friday afternoon.

long time He thought that the Board could not al
ourn according to the Charter over longer time than
AID Mott remarked that he had carefully examined the
visions Of the Charter that subject and of opin
Tor that the section prohibiting the Board adjournng
three days except it be for the month intended to
apply only to the Board when its sessions commenced
every three months.
After some further debate the amendment the motion
was carried.
Upon the matter of the message from the Mayor yeong
the resolution authorizing the Harlem Railroad to lay their
tracks through Crosby E Bleecker and other streets
Aid Mott remarked that the Charter said that all the acts
ordinances, &C. referred to the Mayor for his signature
shouid if not approved Of be sent back before the
expiration Of ten days to the Board in which It orgi
mated. The Board in which this document originated
is now no more and the members Of the present Board
know nothing Of the matter Ii said that the Board of
Aldermen dies but this idea appears to to be
Bon,eDse The Corporation dies although branches
of II NAV die and the Board Of Aldermen nmy opinion,
die at the expiration of their term Of Office The speaker
was about eedng in most elaborate manner TO show
that there legislative bodies that never died. where
members elected for various terms Ne, when the
President inquired the gentleman intended to make any
motion in the matter AID Mott then moved that the doc
sment be laid on the table.
Ald Woodward observed that If such pur.
sued the document would become law The right course
was that the document should be entered in full on the
minutes OF the Board and printed.
The latter motion prevailed and the question being
taken il was carried
There were no other debates Of any Importance.
