| business was ready to adjourn, and requested
Mr. Baker to perform that Office, which ne
did. and on his return informed the Councll
that the Board OF Aldermen requested the
| Common Council TO hold oD.
The Chair thought an appropriation ought
to lie made to buy horse for the Aims House.
Mr.. Massey said he did not see why the ap-
proprat on should lie confined TO the purchase
Of hOrse-a mule was as good as horse.

response. A., .,o
Auditor be authorized TO issue bis warrant Tor
$3.50, or as much thereof, as is necessary 10
tuv horse for the Ans House.
Mr.. Massey said he was just about to prepare
resolution upon the subject, IN which ne
would have used the word animal instead OF
horse. AS it might be found that mule could
be obtained upon better terms. mule, TOO,
wes easier kept, and had more endurance than
a horse He did not want tho committee VINO
would eXpend the appropriation to be connneu
to the purcha.a Of a horse or to the exact
SUM Il $50.
The Chair read the resolution again.
Mir Massey moved it be referred to the
Gommttce on the Poor.
Mr.. Shirley slA he had offered the re$olu,
ton at the suggestion Of another member OF
the Board. aud rot as member OF the Com
mittce on the Poor, and would now withdraw
it, and offer az 4 substitute another, IN which
tho appropriation should be Tor the purchase
OF horse Or q mule.
Mr.. Massey said that even then it would not
suit him.
Mr.. Harmon moved that the resolution be
adopted bat his motion was not seconded:
Mr.. Massey then read resolution By which
Che Committee on the Poor was authorized to
purchase suitable animal for the purposes OF
the Aims House.
The Char suggested that there might be
some misunderstanding about the genus OF the
animal mentioned in the resolution.
Mr.. Massey said it made no difference
whether the animal was goat or sheep so
that it answered the purposes OF the Aims
House
Mr.. Harmon asked ii it waa not necessary
TO amend the resolution so as to make it read,
that the Auditor issue his warrant for the re-
quircd amount, and on the addition OF the
suggested phIaseoloey, Mr.. Massey resolution
was adopted, and the Board adjourned.
