Some davs since q correspondence between Mr.. Ba-
cor, of the firm of Page Bacon, and Comiiluee
of the ST. Louis Board of Aldermen, was published
in which the former made certain propositions for an
amicable settlement Of the difficulty between his honSe
and the City of St. Louis relative to the afas OF tue
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. These propositions
were referred 10 new committee Their report occupies
two full columns of The 50. Louis Republican OF the
lst inst.
This Committee addressed note to Mr.. Bacon, pro-
nouuonq number OF Undergraduates which that gen.
tleman refused to respond 20, characterz az them a.
beyond his power Of reply, and quite beyond the
necessity of the case" Theeupon the com nittee
reported adversely to accepting the propositions ana
the Board of Aldermen concurred unanimously in Ia
vor of adopting the recommendation. We quote the
concluding paragra hs of the report.
As at present advised your Committee can hnd no
justification for recommending the acceptance Oh Mr'
Bacon proposal The terms are so vague, inc P"s,-
ton which the city would occupy after paying the al
legged debt 20 Page Bacon, Is so different rom .c
nrosent attitude of Page Bacon toward me ROAD inc
Uncertainty whether by the acceptance OF TINS ptopo
sal ANYTHING else than additional city debt OF about
million and half Of dollars is 80 embarrassing, the
want of information respecting the condition. OF the
road and the Discrimination OF the President 10 lush
II are so obvious, that are forced TO the concu
sion that it would be highly inexpedent TO hazard
another cent of t.e money of our municipality n an
enterprise, into the management OF when the 0i'y
Council is forbidden TO inquire.
Your committee would therefore respectfully suggest
that Mr. Bacon course has left the city no alternative
and they therefore recommend that the city cooperate
with the county in obtaining udical nvesuganon oil
all the affairs Of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
Company.
