rum last evening in the Second

adjourned I'LL Tuesday evening next.
In the
FIRST BRANCH
Mayor Sweeney occupied the chair.
The other members present were
Messrs. Blair, Connally, giiiSsh, jacob
Maxwell, McCluney, A. Wilson and
The report of the Street Commission
er was taken up and the action OF the
Second Branch adopting IL and order
ing AN appropriation, was concurred In.
The bond Of Messrs. Dewey, Vance
81 Co., executed on contract with Inc
city under q permit to construct tram
railway from their coal mine in Chap
line Hill 10 their new mill, was taken
up. The bond had been approved by
the Chairman OF the Committee on
Streets and Alleys, and the approval
Confirmed by the Second Branch.
Mr.. Jacob said it WAS the opinion of
lawyers that the Council had no author
ity to delegate power to approve the
bond, TO committee, and further, that
the condition OF the bond did not con
form TO the condition Imposed by the
Council. He said the order OF Council
required the parties to keep the entire
street in order along which the track
was to be laid, while the bond only OBJ
ligAted them 10 keep in order that por-
ton Of the street along the track. he
thought the Council should take no
action on the bond while the question
whether Messrs. Dewey, Vance q Co.,
should be allowed to build their rail-
way at all, was pending before Judge
Caldwell, under an Injunction. He
moved TO re-commit tne bond and re-
port approving 1t, TO the Committee on
Streets and Alleys, with instruction TO
inquire whether the condition of the
bond is in accordance with the order OF
Council requiring a bond
