extent.
The report sets iorih that the Committee hsd care
fully examined tie subject, and were informed that the
work was performed By said John McGfaia unser the
direction Of the Street Commissioner. tho Mayor, aud

AID. HEA1y opposed the claim, and hoped J. would
lay on the table. lie inquired by what authority
McGrain did the work.
AID. BLusr said it appeared to HIN rather strange
that the bill was not paid last yea 81 the proi or
cuded in the contract % McGrain for opening the
street.
AID. McSpgpor said that On the investigation before
the committee, McCirain claimed to have done tue
work Afidavits accompanied the repor. ~ the enec'
that the work was done well, ind at the usual prce
Tor ruch. The committee found tina. IN previous
removals from be Potter Field - per body Tas me
price allowed. There was great dea' OF complG =;
about the exposure OF the bodies, aud their removal
had TO be ordered. ?.
AID. BLryr said he WIGS as.oEished at the price. /
WIS not bodies, bu. dry bones that were removed.
The work OF removal and re-inerreni could not have
beer arduous, aud be thought it should have been

Aid. MsSrEpos ssid tbs could nc. DO dune without
special orders. No contractor would be permitted 20
throw the bores into the dumping ground; and, under
the circumstances the beet that could be done was
done. 49,.
AID Tucker said be would not oppose a r.ga.

high. The subject should be sent back . the Coo,

directions to AcGisn to remove the bots; 60 'n'
