CITY CouNcIL. The regular meeting of the
city council was held on Tuesday night last.
Present. President Bickle, and Messls. Burke,
Evans, German, Guy, Hoge, Ker. Stuart and
Wiz.
THE ERECTION OF STEAM ENGINES IN THE CITY.
Mr. Hoge, from the committees on ordinances
reported one providing that no building shall be
erected within the limits of the city. wi, steam
engine attached unless the building e of stone
or brick covered with metal or slate roof and
having smoke stack of brick not less Than so
feet high; aud that no such building shsll be
erected within so 'eet fanny dwelling. The or
dinance fixed the penalty of violation al $50 for
the first offence, and $500 for all subsequent OF
fences.
The ordinance ELECTED some discussion, il
which Mr. German urged that if brick himneys
81 feet high were required ,bes would cost more
than the building, and amount to a prohibition
Of the erection of small workshops in The city.
The or nance was then so amended, as to T.
low fhe stack TO beiron brick 80 feet hi. h ap'
the penalty fxad al $50 for The first day anc the
same amount for each succeeding day 1t remains,
and then pissed. This action constitutes an an
swer to the petition of John D Shomo, for per
