Mr.. Suite did not think anything could be
gained by delay; nor did he think that the
treasurer would be as dilligent as a special col.
lector.
Mr.. Markell inquired why the gas bills were
put in the hands of the collector of taxes.
Mr.. Suite explained that they we're q part
of the city revenue, and about the only pay
lDg stock it possessed. Ifthey were placed on
the same footing as taxes, and the collector had
power to distrain for them, many gas bills now
unoollected would be obtained. This was the
plan pursued 10 Baltimore.
Mr.. French repeated his views that the city
Treasurer was by the Constitution made COL
lector of taxes.
MIR. Simpson thought the Treasurer had
enough to do without that duty. There should
be two collectors, as now.

Mr. Suttle thought that he had understood
some days ago from Mr.. French that he (Mr.

why he wanted to postpone it he was at o loss
to see.
Mr.. French explained that now hat the
charter was printed it was easily exam-

thought.
Mr.. French replied that the act as passed
could not have validity until adopted by the
lower Board. Our haste was useless until
they had acted on it.
MIR. Simpson moved a reconsideration OF
the vote.
