Rack bouse presiding communication W as received
from J. c. Brsvoort, Secretary Of the Nassau Wster
Company asking that the maps, drawings, etc., in the
posseison of the City sboud be handed over TO the
Company and that the City should supply also two
safes for the use Of the Directors This revived the
discussion between those IN favor and those against
the WateIwoiks.
Twas remarked by AID Kalbheisch as exceedingly
strange that Company, to which the city had just
subscribed 81 300 Co., should ask the city to supply it
with Safes" and Aid. Fowler objected to giving,
without guarantee papers which had cost The city over
e25 900 to Company, not Of the ostensbe Dnec-
tors Of which had signifed his acceptance.s
AID BENNETT remarked that IT was well known
that n company was in fact, the city, and only held
the money and would hold the papers safes, &C., in
trust until the next session of the Legislature, when
the city WILL by obtaining new act take tae work upon
Themselves.
This provoked a rejoinder, in which the company
was ttematized as "bogus," and several exciting
passages of words took place between members. The
Water Committee was finally directed to loan the ar
ticles upon obtaining proper receipt.
