Mr. Myers-The committee on streets
and alleys wanted information as to imprO-
wing Market Square, making culverts
there, grading, &c. They had given no;
tice to receive propOEals7tO do the work.
% Mr.. SaxtOn said it was not necessary nor
advisable to go to any great expense for
culverts, &c. Our city would require
system of sewerage before long anyhow.
Mr.. Schaefer-Scwers might be neces-
sary hereafter, but not yet. Let sewers
be. made on the Square now to suit the
present purpose, and so they can be used
in the future improvements. NiHis
Mr.. SAxton moved south Market street
be divided into sections and let out on
contract, to be graded, &C. This street
before his house looked bad.
Mr.. Schaefer said south Market street
had been favorably treated heretofore, and
there was danger of undertaking to do too
much, and going too fast, and it was now
getting late in the season. He knew by
sad experience by leaving North Market
street in an unfinished state in the fall, 1t
beng almost impossible for teams.
Mr.. Saxton claimed Poplar street, North
Hill and other street improvements were
done contrary to law, and for the benefit
of individuals, and he threatened to take
legal steps TO stop them all.
| Schaefer-Wll the gentleman be more
specific, and name the members of Coun-
gross insinuations, by you sir, are insu lting
TO members of the Council.
| SaxtoR-You, addressing Schaefer, had
North Market street improved at the gen
eraI expense OF the city, and you have now
the carts of the city engaged in hanling
| soil on your lots, 10 construct rink.
Schaefer-The only work that was ever
done on North Market street was done last
wear, at loss 10 me of more land from
my lot, Than. all. the other property owners
| between North street aud Shriver's lane
/ sustain {; and further, the improvement
made, If improvement it can be called, ne
cessitates the grading Of my lot, at an ex-
| peuse Of not less than 81 600; and you, as
the chairman of the committee on streets,
| directed that improvement; ] had nothing
to say and said o,hing to either member
of the cDmmntec or street commissioner
on that sabjeet As regards the hauling
of soil on my lots, admit the city carts
are now engaged in that work, for which
/ pay ten cents for every cart load, and
have spoken for 10, 900 loads, making $1,000
which will be paid to the city by me for
that soil Others, Mr.. NJ. Fast O. Riff
snider and others, at an equal and further
distance, obtained soil in small quantities
at the same price. II is of no use to the
city, and If had not made the arrange
ment to take it as stated, the city would
4 not know where to take Il without pay
1 wish aud ask no special fGvors from the
city, but claim the same rights other citi-
zens epjoy. And you, Mr., Saxton, know
very well, that the city, and not /, is most
benefited by that arrangement. You, sir,
