OF Union street was received from the Board OF
Aldermen who had non coucurred in the action
of rhis Board in adopting it,
- Mr.. DoWnham moved TO amend by substltu-
ting Oronco for Princess street as the northern
limit ofthe proposed Improvement, stating that
az the city owned property 10 that locality 1t
would be wrong not give it the benefit OF the
Improvement, butup suggestion from the
President that any amendment now would
copardize its passage in the other Board, with.
drew his amendment and the Board adhered
to its action. asked for a Committee of Confer
ence, and Messrs. Hughes and Rock were APP
pointed members of that committee I'D.
Mr. Hughes offered resolution providing
that all COMMUNICATIONS from the Common
Council to the Board of Aldermen be made
through the messenger OF the Common Council.
Mr. Hopkins said that the papers sent FROM
one Board to the other frequently required OK
plantations which the messenger could not make.
Mr. McKeuzie said the adoption of the reso-
luton would not, he thought, be courteous to
the other Board az they sent their papers into
this Board by one of their members. The pre-
sent mode of communication between the two
Boards had been of long continuance and he
moved therefore that the resolution be laid
upon the table.
Mr. Rishie asked how it would do TO have
Geographic communication
Mr. Eichburg said the resolution provided
for joint rule and VIC must repeal existing
Joint rules before new ones and substitutes could
be adopted.
The President stated that no joint rules had
yet been adopted.
Mr.. Evans said his idea 10 the first instance
was to offer his resolution as joint rule but he
had, been he thought, properly advised against it.
The objections to the present mode OF commu-
uicalion were numerous. Frequently the alb
sencc ola member, who has gone on Que OF these
missions leaves the body without quorum,
aud at best the job was not a big onc merely t.
carry papers from one end Of the building to
the other, but while doing that which the
messenger could do the member WAS losing all
that was going Oh 10 his Board Tonight he
man rom the 2nd Ward. Hc did not know
whether he had lost much but he did not want
to lose anything.
Mr.. Broders moved to amend by inserting
with the consent of the Board of Aldermen,
and the resolution, as amended was adopted.
a bill of J. r. Ward, amounting to 81, for
services at the municipal election in the 3rd
Ward, accompanied by communication from
f. L. Brockctt, one Of the judges of election 10
that ward, stating that the bill was moderate.
as Mr. Ward had furnished ice water and a
servant to make the fire, was received from
the Board of Aldermen, having been referred
by them to the Committee on Claims, and their
action was coucarred 10, though Mr.. Evans
said ice water and fires the same day locked
like combination
The action of the other Board on some other
papers was then concurrcd in without debate,
and the Board, at an early hour, adjourned
till the next regular meeting night that OF
Tuesday next.
