-. Emley moved to suspend the order OF

g.. Order Of the day.
He moved the adoption Of the amend
ment, which Mr.. Pierce seconded.
Mr.. Shaw said this proposed amendment
had been discussed while Mr.. Walton was
absent. He did not like discussing it sgain,
but be objected strongly to the change. He
need only refer to the calendar of the last
meeting to show the Inconvenience which
would result. Here were eighty or a hun
dred items of business which would take
precedence of the business Of the meeting.
II there was any deferred business which
required the attention of the Council, when
fresh and unfatigued, it was the ordinances
making appropriations, and these were last
on the list.
Mr.. West remarked that the objection
which the gentleman urged had been met
by the arrangement of the calendar for this
very meeting, appropriations being first on
the list. In his opinion the alteration pro.
posed was by far the most expedient plan.
difficulty would be better met by holding
extra meetings.
MI. Emley observed that at the last two
meetings the Council had had no difficulty
in going through the calendar, as we'll as
she ordinary business. The object Of the
change was to prevent the confusion of
having new business and deferred and re-
ferred business, committee reports and reso-
buttons all mixed together, under the second
head Of the order of business, Reports
from Administrators"
Mr.. West said it was for the want of some
such rule as this that the calendar was bur.
dened up a. 1t was. If the Council would
only look the calendar in the face and CRAP
pie with It, it would never be heavy enough
TO abstruct other business. However, there
had been quite sufficient time wasted in this
discussion, and he called for q vote.
After some further debate the roll was
called.
Yeas: Administrators West, Emley and
Pierce 3.
Nays: Administrators Shaw, Delassize,
Walton and BoDzsno-4.
The amendment was lost.
Reports feom Administrators.
The Mayor said the mex business was re-
ports from Administrators.
Mr.. West asked what was a report from
Administrators
Mr.. Walton replied, q statement of any
thing he had been doing or proposed to do,
which had not been brought up before.
Mr.. Delassize presented q report on a pc
tition referred to him.
The Mayor stated he did not consider that
g Report from Administrators"
Mr.. Emley observed that this was just the
trouble. Where were they to draw the line?
The Mayer put the question to each Ad-
ministrasor, whether he had any report to
make. All replied in the negative.
The Mayor himself said he had M p~articu.
lar report to make, except that the taxes
were coming inpretty freely, and the money
going opt pretty freely.
