The FEEDER BRIDGE oURsTION-TLis vex.
ed point again came mp. incidentally. in the city
council on Monday night.
Aid. Huston drew attention to the unsafe con.
dition Of the passage.
Aid. Carey stated that the street and slley
committee had. on the strength Of the appropris.
tion of the council, entered into contrac. with
the Wrought Iron Bridge Co., Of Canton, o., for
the erection of an iron bridge, and the company
Was determined to hold the city to the bargain.
The contractors ON the faith of the bridge being
built had issued descriptive circulars of it to
their patrons, whose attention they had invited
thereto. If the bridge were not constructed as
agreed upon, the company commended that great
injury would be done to its business. AID.
Carey moved that the street and alley committee
be instructed to proceed according to the
contract.
Aid. Formulas replied BY saying that, in view
of the low state of the city exchequer the build
ing of an iron bridge at the point indicated was
altogether lnexpedient. The funds were SO low
that the street lights, BY the advice of the finance
committee. had been cut of. The city had al.
ready in one year expended, in round numbers,
$4,000 in iron bridges, which was sufficient for
the present Aid. Formulas had no objection to
the construction of an iron bridge at SEINE flu.
tnre periOd-ssy in year or so-wheu the city
could better afford the expenditure. With the
material already in the possession Of the city a
substantial bridge might be erected for some
5000, which would endure until the finances 70.
covered their elasticity. On these grounds he
moved the postpouement of the question until
the next meeting of the council, when fuller
attendance might be expected.
His motion prevailed by 6 ayes to noes

All radiant vita smiles, with hearts light and
And the theme of discussion was Old Horace

For, in every State,

The ChappaquA Farmer, Horace Greeley, the
Great.
Then up with the banner; proudly let 1t wave,
For good, honest Greeley, the friend of the
slave.
Then les us be true, and stand forth ia our

As freemen we'll vote on election day freely
As freemsn we would all freemen invite
To place in the White House our own Horace

Then let us unite,
And work with our might,
And conquer we win, for our cause it is right.
Then long may the banner Of Freedom still
