s.opers would 60 and make these necessary
na;rs thereby taking the whole matter out OF the
h.,8s If the Common COUNCIL.
Mr. TCcKrR objected TO any haste in ordering the
.sork and leasing lots, as there money in the
CIV Treasury appropriated for that purpose. There
was rot sufficient available funds to Justify the repairs
hepc made let alone the erection of new buildings.
The Commissioners could, however, if basty action
was needed have the repairs done in anticipation OF
an appropriation II the report which, IN his opinion
vss very defective, laid over tltl Thursday, he
thought lac might vote for il. The report wanted
srcst deal of scrutiny and from hssty glance at it,
be thought several important amendments were nee
essary.
Mr. CLANCY said it was the duty of the Controller
10 raise this money! when needed 10 anticipation of
The tax levy, aud there reason why the work
should not be proceeded with. II apparent that
the report would not be adopted tonight, and it was
fs no interest 30 the city that members opposed it.
n ives that Of the members wanted tn let the
Police Commissioners do the work, without the CO.
operstion Of the Street Commissioner and Commits
siouer of Repairs aud Supplies, that they might farm
Jobs out TO partisans.

the power to raise the money. He could raise none
for any purpose except that named in the last levy. II
the COmmon Council had followed his advice in such
matters during the past year, they would have saved
the city g. 900 600. The object in pushing this mat
ter vas doubtless political 1t was sought to have
fhe work done by the Democratic departments i'll
stead Of by the Police Commissioners, that the Dem
ocrets could make it advantageous in the coming
election. II was a piece of Buncombe he wished to
zee frustrated.
After other remarks the report was again lost, for
want Of d constitutional vote-being to 4. The pa
per was again reconsidt red and laid on the table.

moyst hat the Committee on the subject of short
Eleventh avenue be directed to report at next
mestug. There had been enough sad Oh the subject,
aud the Committee should report either one way or
the other. There evidently reason to hope that
Che Committee would report in favor of the accommo-
dstOn asked for by the people aud opposed by the
Hudson River Railroad Company.
Mr.. BoOLE hoped that the motion would be amended
directing the members Of the Committee first to meet
On the subject.
Mr.. OWNS complained that the Chairman had not
waited long enough at the time appointed for the last
meeting Of the Committee, aud, when he arrived,
those who met had dispersed. tIe was prepared
10 meet on the subject II unnecessary to delay it
longer, ard he hoped the Committee would report
Mr.. STARR opposed the motion to instruct the Com
nittee to report. There reason to report against
the proposition. The Ninth-avenue Railroad would
coon be built and there would be occasion for fur
ther accommodation.
Mr. REED urged another meeting, and that the
Committee report by Thursday night.
Mr. BooLE explained he had attended twice; but
there was not quorum.
TIE motion to instruct was laid on the table, The
Board then adjourned to Thursday.
