We give to-day the report of the majority
of the committee appointed by Council to
examine the localities and present their
views 80 The best and most feasible plan
Of reaching the Delaware River, in the
northeastern section of the city. 1t will be
seen that one member of the Committee
Capt. Thatcher-dlssenis from some OF the
propositions and suggestions OF the majority,
and gives his reasons for doing so, in a
minority report, which we also publish.
There seems to be n disposition on the
part of some members Of the committee, 10
compel the city 10 "slrike lie" at an enor.
nous cost to the people. The plan recon-
mended by the majority locates the
Gallagher Oil Works directly in the way OF
the proposed section, and so throws an OBJ
struction in The track of improvement at the
very threshold. Capt. Thatcher, very justly,
we think, demurs at any such proceeding, and
while lie is willing TO assist his colleagues and
the public to improve and enhance the value
of their property in that loca lly, he is not sat
isfied 10 do 1t at the sacrifice of the prnci-
pies OF public policy and the interests of his
immediate constituents. II the Oil Works are
to be purchased, let it be done by persons
who desire to prosecute the oil business, and
not by taking the money from the peoples
pockets. Ten thousand dollars is large
sum 10 pay for property of little or no in-
trinsc value to the city, and especially at a
time, too, when the whole community is
groaning under the weight and pressure OIL
enormous taxes, imposed upon it by a
system OF gust such reckless wastelulness as
is here proposed by the majority report
