I,lots.-The reading of the last resolution caused
COZ siderable sensation and 1t was read second time
Amot,on was made TO 10y the resolution on the
table.
Az. KELLY-I trust that paper will not be enter
vi ed. Docs tie Chair entertain it at all
Tie CBAIEM.sy pro tenn. Alderman Noorhsl said as
the resolution hes been entertained by the Board and
even read twice at its request 1t was already before
the BODY ard il would be for the Board to say what
Should now be done wlth 1t.
Aid Kelly-I appeal from that decision.
Aid ELY coutended that il was too late to consider
whether the paper should be entertained, and tho only
motion that could be entertained was that 10 lay the
resolution on the table.
Aid. KrLLY-It makes difference to us how
many men the Mayor appoints to office. | maintain
that this Board las nothing 10 do with the matter
whatever. | am astonished that the Alderman from
the Thirteenth Ward should bring in paper of this
kind Ii ia scunilous and PERSONAL anu has nothing
whatever 10 DO with the business of the present session.
Have those O'Kc,fes committed any crime am
aware that Mayor Wood makes such appointments as
tlese. and | shall be glad ii he continue TO do So
They O. c men OF respoctabiiy, honor ana Character
and 10 man can say ought against them
Adj LORD said-Tbe question is whether this reso-
luton IL coucLed III such language as should be enter
tain ed by this Board Wien heard the resolution
rend | was very much amazed at tie hrst part OF L.
II does seem TO ne this family of the . keetes Is
very large family ayd has been provided tor IN very
extraordinary manner. / am not prepared TO say
WHEELER not they are all just as Respectable rs my
self or any member of this Board. | should not,
however Use merely 10 protect them. But, Sir, the
latter pant OF the resolution rejects in way am
sorry TO say in very improper way-upon the col-
duct of the Mayor The Mayor SIR u the head OF inc
Civ Government and his position, whatever may be
his private character entities him TO respect. do say
Sir that the conduct OF Mr. Wood since he has Oeeni
~ nj Office has been such to command the respect Of
bis fellow-ciizens. Not only ought we hot 70 Iesno
an absent person who is not able TO answer Tor him-
self but we ought not 10 entertain those expressions
which are in the latter part of that resolution as rea
ing to the Mayor. II is neither eredliapie 10 yes
s,fisfed vou Sir will admit the propricty OF nyre
maTks wien say that although you may have 10 III,
tonton TO give currency TO anything OF the SORT ana
although the resolution was presented properly IN
do,sed by a member of this Board, yet THINK the
oues;on Of order is properly presented now, Wheter
we should entertain the question and whether this DC
proper matter to be brought lrt now before .; t ts
Roardl 1t appears TO me that 1t is presented IN the
FRA place TO cast serious reflections upon the
Grm;lv of @ Keefes of which 1 have nothing TO say,
and In tire second place upon that Of hls Honor tho
Nayor ofwlich have great deal to say.
Tho CuAiRyAs pro TEN. said the Endorsement OF the
resolution would not rule it ont of order after It had
been read twice at the request OF the Board.
AID pRAKE-Tle gentleman fIom the Eighteenth
vnrd fAld. Iord has made some splendid remarks.
JIe ems TO Lave great deal of sympathy for one
certain individual 1t matters not TO me how many OF
the o Keetes belong to one family, or how many
Offices Il ey hold. am certain that 1t ID requisite ana
Honorable that they should hold them.
AID. BRIeGs-I do not wish TO reflect on the char
seler of the O'Keefe family. | have high respect
for n great many Of them. As we require better
Matmn in the Thirteenth Ward Police Station, and
from what can learn Mrs. OKeefe would make
CAPABLE Matron of that Station, l think It Is the
Iufiness of this Board to attend to such matters
There has been ordinance adopted for that matter
ard tlero is way to get at II except tnrough the
Poard of Aldermen. This LAZY is competent in every
way and certainly think il Is perfectly in order for
the Honorable Mayor to make that appointment to
eorresroud with the various other appointments that
he has noCe. Undoubtedly be has more power TO
MAKE that appointment than those he has made
ALI BRowN-I move that the Alderman of the Thir-
ts,ntb Ward have leave TO withdraw the resolution
Aid ELY-In order tina, We may all understand It's
mn, NON ak for the reading OF the last part Of the
ioi,lr;on again. dont want TO hear that about the
O'Keefe family. They are a smart respectable family
fouud 'Eecie obiging aud more ready to offer
f,c cs for doing business for the benefit OF the City
of New-York when in his seat at Albany than any
The latter part Of the resolution was ten read a
Aid. Ely must cay / am opposed TO voting in
favor OF adopting any such language as that in the
I.ter mart Of the resolution in relation to the Mayor.
II Is not necessary that We should say anything for or
oeoirsi BIN in any way. But with regard to the Ian.
mace Of that paper regard it indecorous AMI i'm
Srorer Tor The Board to entertain the question. |
hove that il be referred to the Special Committee for

All. LoKD-The question of appeal is before the
Board. +. -,

lie Chair or any other disposition made OF 1t, con-
ider that the question ought 10 be put and voted upon
