suaut to adjournment. Bell, Belts, Cores,

ent. Minutes of previous meeting read, cor
rected aud approved.
Committee on petition of Renter and 9th
ers, reported in favor of allowing the water
to wash way for ITSELF along the embauk-
ment complained of. It appears that the
sewer complained of was built by McArdle
Before it was finished complaint was mad lie
that it would not carry of the water, and
committee Of Council, ordered it enlarged,
but it was finished in defiance of the order,
as built, and has remained so since. Citizens
above complain, that ever since it was built,
the water has been backed up so that Their
cellars are never dry, and often, in case of
heavy rains, have water in them to the depth
of three to four feet. This complaint, on the
part of the citizens is serious one, and
should be promptly met and decided by
Council. They have the power to ObIiqe
the enlargement of ths sewer, and it is their
duty to exercise it for the protection of the
complaining citizens against the damage Oc-
caAioned by a disregard Of their rights No
motives of expediency can justify tempori-
ziDg policy. Fiat JuSticiG.
