Meeting OF the Weak Human Natures
AT THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS.

AT THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
A communication was received from the
Mayor, announcing that he had entered into a
contract with He1ry Buckley to cleanse the
Northern District, from the lst Of August to the
1st Of January, whether from the corrupt pofi-
ticians or other "dead rabbits" the communica-
lion did not say
A communication was received from Human
Nature George F. Gordon asking for some money
TO enable him to try his hand on the Northern
District till the lst of August. 1t is reported by
Hill & Smith, the street cleaners, that they tried
to keep the Northern District Clean but lost
$4,000 in the effort, and finally the contract;
from all differences the Northern District must
present?

SOMETHING LIKE THIS.


A bill was reported providing for an appropria-
lion of $1,000 to the Board of Health for the
removal of nuisances. We hope this will be
acted upon promptly and the nulsances removed,
beginning with the chap in Hudson's alley that
keeps it blocked up with crowd while he
cleans a little boys teeth; also, the railway
track at Third and Chestnut, that throws all the
passenger cars off the track that come along,
wearing out the horses and the patience ofthe pas
sengers by the car jumping alongside of the track
for about square before it put on again; also,
the 'base balln window, attracting crowds oflaZy
men to look at the prize "bat' of the "0lympic
Quicks" or the philadelphia Uprghts." Also
handbllls inviting you to go to Lake Superior,
OF some other cool place. and fixing the price
for the round trip at S200 not to mention the
smaller nuisances of ''gipsys" MAY Queens
S'stuffed calves" and "tilters." ..,.
%. Human Nature Van Cleve moved to take up
an ordinance appropriating $4,000, to be used
for pipe-laying purposes up Columbia Avenue.
In supporting the measure, which was a very
large one, being nothing less than "20-inch
main, he said the people In that vicinity were
much in want of water; that they mixed great
deal of it with their drinks this time of year.
Human Nature Freeman said there was no
money in the treasury for appropriations of that
sort. If the money continues to be voted away
Tor iron pipes the policeman would suffer,
indeed, many of them have had to give up their
pipes already.
The friends of the 20.inch main urged that a
hre would have serious consequences without
water; consequently the opposition to the bill
was laid, but the pipe was not.
Human Nature Simpson offered a resolution
Droyidinp for the removal of the Second Pre-
cinct House in the Twenty-frst Ward, from the
"Dove and Swan" to the "PIg and Whistle" the
lunch at the former having deteriorated since
the war. Agreed to.
Human Nature Marcer submitted an ordinance
making an appropriation of $685. 900 for building
aEnew Ice Boat As this is little less than the
sum annually spent in repairs on the old one
it is thought it will pass; aud the Ice Boat is
moreover, pleasant subject to talk about this
weather, though there are serious thoughts
entertained by the Natures that such a thing a'
ice will never again be known in these parts
judging from the present state of the atmosphere
Human Nature Miller wanted to purchase thu
right of way through Manayunk. 1t appear
that this city, like Salt Lake City, has beer
closed, in measure, TO the rest of the nation
these two cities, consequently, have always beel
spoken of as places desirable to see, yet nobod!
could be found who had ever been there.
Human Nature Fox called up a resolution
providing for the ventilation of the New Court
House. Some of the members thought it hal
been ventilated enough in the daily papers, bu
if further ventilation was necessary for it
health, they would not object. After ventilatin
other things, including Hill Smith, contractor
for cleaning the streets, the different nature
snbsided
