THE Case Of Henry ErJca.-Ald. CLANCY called
Aid. McSpedon to the chair, and expressed surprise
that the Committee on Frauds had not reported on
one of the clearest frauds that had been perpetraied
on the city-the 80 900 operation of Mr. Henry Erben
| the great reoner-who had tried for years TO MAKE
himself terror to members of the Common Council;
who had used epithets of disgracctul character IN
the Hall: threatened members with indictment, and
display ed his impudence daily In his case the Com
| mttre should have made report. He concluded by
offering resolution.
| AID. ADAMS assured the Board that Mr.. Erbens
case would be reported upon one OF the
clerks, who was sick and had the plpcrs, should r.
cover. -,

| against Henry Erben to recover the amount wrong

| The Aryor's Veto against Salaries Of MmJers--
The message of the Mayor vetOng the resolution OF
| the Common Council directing the Counsel to apply
TO the Legislature to allow the members OF the Com,
mon Council salary Of 81 900 per annum was called
up by AID BooLE, who moved that the action OF the
Board be adhered to, notwithstanding the veto OF the
Mayor.
Aid. TUcKER opposed Any such action, and ex-
pressed his agreement with the Mayor in his views on
| the subject.
AID. STARR and DAVIES also spoke against salaries
| for members.
