Very respectfully, YOU, Of: dent servant,

Alderman Morseli suggested that the reso.
| luton had not been fully answered; that the
convention would like to know the names Of
Alderman Moore moved that the communi.
| cation be referred to a special committee.
| Alderman Cook hoped that the convention
| would finish Its work at once, and opposed
Councilman Kelsey moved that 1t be printed.
| Alderman Moore said 1t was the duty of tho
| convention to TX the bond, Ho also suggested
that tho bond OF the Surveyor WAS not ufii.
cisnt. The convention had no authority over
that oihcer, but he threw out the suggestion
| for legislation. The amount OF bond required
might not cover the losses to the corpofation
| on account Of an inefficient officer.
The Mayor stated the fixing of the bond was
not obligatory the language OF the law was
| Alderman Moore withdrew his motion, and
the motion OF Councilman Kelsey to print

resignation Of X. II. Booker as a commits.
sioner OF the Western Burial Ground.
| Councilman L, y. S. Miller asked whether
the committee to Investigate certain charges
against members OF the convention were ready
| to report.
Alderman Moore said that as one member
OF the committee he desired to state that Mr..
| Fowler was compelled to leave the city to
bring his family home, and Mr.. Chase did not
return until after Mr.. Fowler had left the
| city. The committee had met once, and had
taken testimony, which had been written out
| as far as taken. An injunction OF secrecy had
been imposed, and the committee had gone
too far to recede, and in Its opinion the inves-
| tigation should be further prosecuted.
Councilman Chase stated that when he re.
turned to the city on Sunday last, he found
| notice desiring his attendance at a meeting
| OF the committee on Friday last. Facts hsu
| come to his knowledge since his return which
led him to believe the investigation should be
| concluded, and that the convention should not
| adjourn until the committee made report.
| The Joint convention proceeded to consider
the ordinance OF the Corporation OF Washing.
|
| Of the said Corporation shall be deposited,
and prescribing the manner In which the said
| moneys shall be kept and disbursed, which
Was reported at the last meeting by Alderman
| Moore.

| Wednesday evening two weeks hence; which
| WAS not agreed to-yeas II, nays Is.
The Mayor then stated the question to be,
shall the main question be now putr which
was agreed to--yeas 10, nays 10.
After tho rejection OF several motions to

ellis The cty Of Wellington, That all moneys
Of the corporation shall be deposited In the
