CITY CoUNCILs.--In Select Branch yes
terday, note was received from the Mayor in
reference TO bust of the late p. s. Duponceau
q revolutionary hero, which his granddaughter
desired to present TO the city. A communlca.
ton was received from James Elliott asking a
contract to clean the streets Of the CITY tor the
sum of $4,000 per annum. Mr.. Hodgdon pre-
sented petition, very numerously signed by
prominent merchants, asking for the passage of
an ordinance regulating the payment of oily
warrants upon some equitable aud righteous
basis. A report was then presented from the
Committee on Law, submitting q series of argu
ments against the repeal of the ordinance pro-
viding for the purchase Of additional ground at

against repeating the ordinance, on the theory
that If this ground be not now purchased by the
city it never can be. r.t
