Alderman Marshall stated that he would bring

manded consideration
1st That all further work upon the Artesian We'll
be suspended, and that the Mayor employ keeper
of the premises at the sum stated IN the bill.
3D. The Committee recommended that the Trus-
tees Of the Charleston College o1acavor to make
the institution self-supporting, as in the impover
lshed condition OF the city, Council will find it i'm
possible to assist them.
81 The Committee recommend that the Mayor
make monthly report to Council OF the operations
Of the drains, and the cost of the same during the
month, and that no bills be paid By the City
Treasurer lex 'ept salaries and contract work.,
unless having been passed by Couacil.
Alderman Cosgrove offered 4 resolution that the
keeper of the Artesiau Well be elected by ballot
in Council and not be appointed by the Mayor as
stated; which was adopsed.
Alderman Wragg stated, for the information Of
the Council that in his position as Chairman OF
careful reports, which he had presented to Council
monthly showing the amount OF expenditure and
the work done Council, at the timo objected to
hearing these reports and they were received as
information. These reports had been carefully
preserved and could be laid befo. Council at any
moment IL so desired.
Alderman O'Neill stated that the Clerk Of Coun-
Gil had present d bill to the Charleston Hotel for
the uso of Arteslan water during the past two
years. As one OF the executors OF Mr.. White ne
wished to ask for information on this subject and
present protest from the joint executors.
Alderman Wragg stated that d resolution had
passed the present Council that $500 be charged
the Charleston Hotel for the use of the Artesian
water, though, to his knowledge, this sum had
never been collected. BE referred to the back
records, when Mr.. Daniel Mixer had applied for
the privilege of putting down the pipes and con-
veying the Artesan water to the hotel. 1t was
his impression that stipulated sum was agreed
upon, but as far as informed no money had ever
been collected.
At the request Of Alderman ONel, the Mayor
read the protest of the Execut ,rs Of Mr.. White,
Messrs J. F. o'Nell, Thaddeus Kelly, and Rev
T. A. Shadler. This protest showed that Mr..
Daniel Mixer had at his own expense laid the
pipes to the well and secured the water for the
hotel under stipulation that he could use the
same free of expense until the city was prepared
to furnish supply OF the water to the citizens.
The water in the hotel had ut different times been
of great benefit to the community as furnishing
supply to the engines at the fires in the vicinity of
the hotel and at any similar contingency similar
supply could be obtained. Under these croun-
stances the executors deemed the action Of Council
in presenting bill as erroneous, and they prayed
further consideration Of the matter.
On motion Of Alderman CouItenay the matter
was referred to the Committee on the Artesian
Well.
Alderman WraRg stated that as the matter Of re-
heuchment was now before Council he wished to
bring to their attention the fact that reform should
not be confined alone to cutting down expenses,
but care should be taken ID OBJ ain full and cor
rect report Of all expenditures. and Standing
Committees should be authorized to make regular
monthly reports He offered resolution to this
effect, which was laid over for consideration until
the next regular me-tin,.
Alderman Courtenay stated that there were
always three reporters from the daily papers pre-
sent at each meeting, and at present there were
no suitable accommodations he therefore offered
the following resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
Resclued, That the Clerk be requested to fur
nish more convenient acc: :mmodations for the
three City Reporters, and that the expense of tho
same be paid on the order Of his Honor the Mayor.
Alderman Cos2rove moved that the City Treasu-
rer be requested to furnish Council with the
names Of all delinquent taxpayers, and the
amounts due by each.
Council then adjourned.
