Mr.. President Wiley, from the Street
Committee, reported in favor of grant
ing petition of Patrick Sullivan; in ia
vor of allowing E. Barnett to regulate
and grade Bayway reported adversely
to petition of John D. Norris in favor
of Charles Lindsley's petition.
Judge Green, from the Special Com
mittee on the revision of the maps,
made lengthy report relative to the
opening, annulling, &C., of certain
streets, together with resolution.
Which was unanimously adopted.
An ordinance relating to sewers and
drainage was passed. Hereafter the
city is to purchase the drain tile used
for sewerage purposes, and we are of the
opinion that much needed reform has
thus been made. The pipe is to be
thoroughly inspected, and is to be
stored in rear of the Fourth ward sta
tion-house, where it will remain under
the charge and control of the station
house keeper, who is to deliver the
same in such quantities as certificates
furnished by inspectors shall demand.
We shall now get clear of imperfect
drain pipes, and the New York "shar-
pers" will be compelled to seek a mar
ket elsewhere for rejected and worth
less pipe.
The ordinance to increase the salary
of the keeper of the iron draw bridge
at South street, from 5000 to $500 was
read, and on motion of Mr.. Ropes, laid
on the table.
The Health Inspector reported q
long list of curbing and gathering out
of repair in the First and Second wards.
Referred to street committee.
The Street Commissioner presented
proposals for the following city i'm
provements
FOR PAVING CHERRY STREET.
Nicholson Company, $40. 25O. Is
$3.50 per square yard.
Michael DOYLE, 19,44S. Is
$4.30 per square yard
Judge Green movWd that these pro-
posals be referred to the street COM
mittee. He wished to have report,
He was perfectly satisfied with the
Nicholson pavement, but he wanted
some uniformity in the awarding u
these contracts, for he th ought that we
were drifting at loose ends. The mo
ton was carried.
The proposals for the sewering Of
Murray and other streets were referred
back to the contractors for revision, a:
under the ordinance adopted this eve
ming, the contractors are not required
to bid on pipe
Councilman Schultheis offered reso
luton for laying of gas pipes through
High street. Adopted.
Councilmen Cowell offered resolu
ton to have fire hydrant erected OF
the corner Of Broad and Grove streets
Adopted.
Mr.. Cowell offered resolution re-
questing the Law Committee to draft
a more stringent ordinance relative tt
dogs running at large. He advocated
the appointment of dog catchers; under
the present ordinance passed something
less than one hundred years ago, citi
zens are empowered to kill dogs running
at large. This might have answered the
purpose at that period, but at the pres
ent time citizens are not expected to &c
about carrying revolvers and shot guns
for the purpose of shooting every
worthless eur that happens to pass
them. In other cities dog catchers i'm
pounded the CANNES, and we should dc
something to more fully protect pedes
TRANS.
Mr.. Lyon offered resolution that
the mayor be directed to draw his war;
rant in favor of Chief Keron, for $5(
