Mr.. Walton said he had number of pc
titions on the subject OF taxes tenderedin
Metropolitan Police warrants, but he did
not think it necessary to cumber the record
with them. 70 rt =
A motion was made to refer the petitions
to the Administrator of Assessments.
Mr.. Walton would object most decidedly
to this course. The question had been
bothering the Department of Finance for
some time, and it seemed to him that the
Council ought to decide it. He had pre-
pared resolution which seemed to him to
cover the whole ground, but certain mem
bers objected to it, and he did not press it.
The result was, he found himself completely
at fault. The City Attorney reported that
he should take the red warrants and refuse
the blue warrants. There were numbers of
persons who asserted they had good legal
authority for offering Metropolitan Police
warrants in payment of their taxes. One
night Administrators voted one way, and
one night another way, and it seemed to him
the Council ought now to take the matter
in hand and settle it. ... 1.
Mr.. West asked what the recommends
ton of the Administrator of Finance was
Mr.. Walton replied, his resolution was
that where there was satisfactory proof Of
the tender of warrants, which high legal
authorities said was bar to the collection
of interest, that the interest should in such
cases be RENTED. A resolution of this kind
it seemed to him would meet great many
of the points raised in these petitions. We
had now about hundred and forty items
on the calendar, and the majority OF them
were tax petitions. ..--.,f l.f.rJ.
Mr.. Pierce moved that the petitions under
discussion be referred to the Administrator
Of Finance, and that he be requested to in
troduce his resolution at the next meeting
He presumed the Administrator of Assess
ments would have no objection to be relieved
from the consideration of these measures.
Mr.. Bonzano: Decidedly not. .-
Mr.. Walton seconded the motion of Mr..
Pierce. BY the Council laying the petitions
over, he would be enabled to draw up a
resolution to cover the whole ground.
Mr.. Shaw thought it was not showing
proper courtesy to the Administrator Of AS
to refer tax matters to any other
f. "a
Mr.. West suggested that as the Admins
traitor of Accounts was the auditor of the
these matters should be refer.
red to him.
MIR. Shaw withdrew his objections, and
the petitions were referred to the Admins
.rator of Finance. 4.. ..t
Mr.. Shaw introduced petition from resi-
tents of the Second and Third Districts, on
The question of the removal Of steamboat
and moved that it be published
With all the signatures, and referred to the
Departments of Improvements and Com
nerce.
Mr.. Emley said it seemed to him there
vas petition on the other side of the aues-
ion, which had preceded this, and which
ought also to be printed if this was.
