DIRK FeR THE CRY CoUNCTL.-Our CITY
council, at its next meeting ought to provide
means for accomplishing the following OBJ
jects
lst A law of the Legislature providing
toE one supervisor in the county board. from
each ward in the city. A resolution of the |
board asking our senator and representative
to procure such law ought to be adopted, |
and the city attorney or some person employ
ed to show the justice of the move and the
presidents In the case of other cities.
I'd. A resolution of the board asking our
senator and representative to procure ferry
charter, for the city, from this city to Daven-
port, and directing the city attorney, or some
person to be by the council selected, to pre-
cure evidence OF the bad faith of the present
proprietors of the ferry, and show reason why
the people should have charter of their
own.
I'd. 4 resolution of the board asking our
senator and representative to procure, for the
people of this CITY. charter for horse rail
road from Moline to Camden,-an appoint
ing the Same committee to attend to that mat
ter.
4th. A resolution of the board asking our
senator and representative to procure an
amendment to our city charter extending our
limits over all the bridges owned by the
city.
We dc not see how our senator aud repre-
ssntave can refuse to do ali this, for the peo
pie OF this city, when properly requested by
the representatives of the city TO do SO.
We hope the city council will take these
matters In hand, at the next meeting, and
unanimously Recommend these measures and
appoint committee whose duty it shall be
TO furnish our senator and representative with
all necessary information to enable them to
secure favorable action by the legislature in
regard to all these measures.
STEAH FIRE ENGINL.-The necesssv of a
steam fire engine increases every day, md
we think our oisizsns will have to do som.
thing about the matter. There is already
some complaint of the hardness of our fire
