tat:cn Tor proposals for publishing the tax
SAFES OF 1903, made the following report:
10 IRE Board Of Common Council of the Ctfy of
Washington The undersigned committee, to-
Wnom was referred the res olntion of the Board
respecting the invitation for proposals for pub
llsnlng The tax sales Of 1853, and the action of
the Collector thereon, beg leave to report that
they have carefully examined the papers SUBJ
mltted them, embracing the several proposals
OF the publishers of newspapers in this city,)
and although in the judgment of your commit
Tee II is matter en- tirely within the discretion
OF the Collector, they find that while the scv-
eral offers filed do not fully meet the interrega-
tories propounded by the Collector, that of the
Erening Star is more directly responsive, par
ticularly as to the num- ber of subscribers, and
your committee are Of the opinion that con-
siderlng the joint resolution of the Councils
respecting the publication of the tax sales and
the evidence before them, no other course wls
left the said Collector to pursue but to give the
publication in question to said Erening Star.

started at the Contraband Camp, where Rev.
Mr.. Jenkins, of Rochester, NY; A. L. Sauborn,

enlisting movement. One Of the first who
offered to book his name was boy not above

and expressed his desire to go anyhow, if not
as soldier, then as waiter. One man, when
appealed to, refused to go0n the ground that he
had a family. Mr. Sanborn informed him. that
the Government would take care of his family,
and asked how many he had, when he replied,
''A wife and two children, and anudder one
mos here, and if he went away he could not
tell whether it was girl or a boy, which he
seemed to think serious drawback After
