now used, subject TO all conditions TO which
blue stone Is subject; for the relief Of Henry
Hyson.
A large number Of bills that had been
lying over for several weeks were taken up
and appropriately referred. Among the bills
referred was one providing that the Mayor
be instructed to pay to the treasurer ofpubllc

All Of these sums were charged 70 the cor

the administration of affairs, and has caused
many sad and bitter dlsappointments with
