CITY COUNCILS.

These bodies held their regular stated meeting
yesterday afternoon.
Select Branch.-Mr., Stolley, who has never
once been absent from his seat in the chair sat
in it yesterday.
The usual batch of petitions, most of them pri-
Vate ones, was presented and referred. The
signers asked for various matters in the way of
paving, grading, and sundry facilities in the way
of gas and water They were all referred to the
various committees, whose names are duly dis
tributed on printed cards.
A magnifcently engrossed petition was re-
ceived from Mr.. j. K. Adamson. This gentle
man, in the biggest sort of public spirit, asks
permission to lay track from the big ware
houses in Market street, above Thirteenth, to
cross Jones street.
AS matter of necessary form this was re-
ferred TO the Committee on Railroads.
Mr.. Fox offered resolution. 1t authorizes
the Second Street Passenger Railroad and Presi-
dent Binder to extend the tracks of the road
north of Berks street. to make connection on
Dauphin street.
AS this was a measure of decided public inn
portance, it was passed without debate.
An appropriation of $40, to pay for autho-
rized carriage hire on the part of various NUM-
cipal tunctionaries, was passed without dissent.
further appropriation to the Water Depart
ment was the subject OF the bill now introduced
by Mr.. Hodgdon, OF the Eighth ward.
Without the 1ormality Of a reading the bill
was referred.
An ordinance to pay $27O0 for therecent alter
atlons in Select Council Chamber was passed,
There was no debate upon the subject The
irescoing and kindred iummery told eloquently
for itself.
The Special Committee on Highways made a
report. TO them had been referred an Ordi-
nance to tax every vehicle in the city, the re-
venue accuing therefrom To be devoted to the
| general improvement of incorrlgible highways
| and contumaciOus cutters. The committee who
had had the bill under consideration reported il
