WEST WASHING TON MARKET.

The West Washington Market controversy has ex-
cited 30 much attention that we publish below an sx-
tract from the minutes of the last meeting Of the Com
missioners of the Land Office, showing some proceed.
ir 20 relating thereto 1t is proper to say perhaps that
il IL understood that the resolution met the approval OF
Messrs Taylor and Brennan the lessees of the prop
erty. IL was, however, laid for consideration,
because there was some doubt to the expedency Of
call at present. even if could be legally made and
because it was believed that the law of last Winter re-
curing the property to be appraised and offered to the
city, prevented SALE in any other way, till the city
had refused to purchase, which 1t has not DONE The
recital in the preamble that the city has neglected
and refused TO avail itself of the provisions of the act
of the last Session of the Legislature REFERS We
presume to the refusal of the Controller to pay the
ud gmeps obtained against the city by the lessees for
we are no. aware tina, the city authorities have in any
other way, refused to avail themselves Of that law.
The following is the extract in question:
