The Amount Of damages claimed is II 800 sss
a md, Brosnmg. Esq MAS heard in behalf q
Doctor Henry. On motion Of alderman Ray
the petition was laid on the table.
/ The comm ttee TO whom WAS referred the mat
ter Of vacant grounds in different parts Of the
city, reported the opinion Of the City Solicitor
to be that in laying out the different streets OF
the city, fractional pieces of land were left which
by right belonged to the city for the use Of all
the inhabitants but it gave no right to the city
to scllany part Of the same.
The committee to whom was referred the bill
ofJ Green for q cask Of glass lamp shades, the
same having been burned at a Buchanan bon
fire. reported that in the opinion of the City So
lcitor the city was not liable to pay for any part
| of the same. Report of committee adopted, and
payment Of the bill refused
The Committee on Internal Improvements
stated that at previous meeting the Council
had ordered them to stop the work on Washing
ton sirset unless the property holders on said
street would pay their assessments before the
work was completed, that they had seen most of
the property holders and they had agreed to
pay their assessments when presented, and no
doubt all would agree to do the same; if not,
they would stop work. The reason for SO doing
is the state Of the city finances is such that un-
less more money can be collected all work upon
the streetsmust bc stopped, as the loan of twen-
ty-fvc thousand would not meet all demands
while the city was expending so much, and it
has become a matter of necessity that collecting
for the street improvements must be made i'm
medately, and the law authorizing these i'm
provements does not compel property holders
to pay for the same until the whole work on
eacl, street is completed. The following bills
were ordered to be paid: vs. +
