lice and Jail.
Mr.. TALBOT called up the ordinance providing
for the collection of taxes, directing the Collector
to advertise in but one paper instead of four, as
heretofore.
Mr.. ROBERTS offered amendment that the ad-
vertisement be published in that paper having the
largest circulation,
Mr.. ROBERTS said that the effect of the bill with
out this amendment would be to build up aud sus-
tain party paper; it was immaterial what party
might be in power. He thought the utmost pub-
licity should be given to a matter of so much i'm
portance, and, therefore, it should be published in
that paper having the largest circulation. He pre-
ferred the bill as it now existed, to the one under
discussion. The amendment was lost by a vote of
yeas, II nays.
Mr.. BAUGHER was opposed to the bill and thought
better bill could be suggested. He therefore
moved to lay the bill on the table. He thought the
bill was of more Importance than its face bore.
Mr. TALBOT said that the ordinance had been
drawn up at the instance of the City Comptroller
aud Collector, and the insnuaton of the gentleman
from the 1lth ward (Mr Baugher) that there was
something behind the bill other than that express
ed, he scorned. He not in the habit of present
ing bills which were intended for other purposes
than those stated.
Mr. BAUGHER said that his friend Mr.. Talbottl
had misunderstood him. He had no intention of
impugnng his motives. His only idea was to
speak of the bills Importance.
The motion to lay on the table was lost
The bill was then passed.
