The Civ Council and the water Co.

The action of the City Council on the various
propositions to secure the laying of pipes along
Vaughan street and on part of Munjoy is
rather complicated. The first order reported
by the Committee of the Fire Department,
called for $1,000 for this special work, including
the patting in of two "Ts." The order was
amended in the Board of Aldermen on motion
of Mr. Daveis, so as to prevent the Company
from tapping such pipes as the city paid for
laying Subsequently the order was passed in
the Common Council The officers of the
Water Company refused to comply with the
resolution as amended, and at at special meet
ing of the Aldermen, four or five being present,
the order was reconsidered and tabled. A new
order was then presented instructing the City
Clerk to notify the Water Company to lay the
pipe in question in accordance with the existing
contract, and in case the Company refuse, au-
thorizing the Fire Committee to lay it and
charge the cost against the annual appropria-
ton of $4,000, and further instructing the City
Treasurer to make no further payments to the
Company.
This order was unanimously passed by those
present. Last Monday evening the previous
order on the table in the Board of Aldermen,
was called up, and was amended by striking
out the clause prohibiting the Company from
tapping the pipe and adding another that this
appropriation should not be regarded as an
opinion or precedent on the contract, which
passed by vote of to 2. The order was then
sent to the Common Council, which refused to
concur in the amendment. Subsequently,
however, the Council passed the warlke order of
the special meeting of the Aldermen by vote
of 10 to 5.
Consequently the warlike order has passed in
both branches, but since its passage in the
Board of Aldermen that body has taken diff
ferent view of the situation.

HARBoR IMPRovEMENTs.--Ith has been I'M
derstood for some time past that important i'm
provements were contemplated in our harbor.
The fact that deposits of mud are constantly
forming at various points in it,especially along
between the ends of the wharves and the chan
mel, making it unsafe for vessels of heavy ton
mage to lie at the ends of the wharves, with
the exception of Smiths and Browns, is a Sc
rious matter, and it was wise action of Con-
gress in granting an appropriation for dredging
purposes. From the middle ground bar, branch
channels were cut last year to the Grand Trunk
wharves, for the benefit of the English steam
ers, giving 20 feet at mean low water. What
is now required is to deepen certain places be-
tween the borders of the main channel and
the Harbor Commissioners line so as to give a
depth of not less than 16 feet at mean low
water, Tor 25a feet at mean high water.) The
estimated cost of excavating what it is deemed
necessary should be taken away is $110, OOO and
the estimated number of cubic yards 100000.
The most serious difficulty is the fact as held
by Gen. Thorn, that several of the wharves
project beyond the Harbor Commissioners line
and cause the formation of an eddy which pro-
duces the shoals, so that unless the objections
are removed the necessity of a re-excavatlng
will only be question of time. The wharves
to which he refers are Perley's, which projects
almost Is feet; Hobson's, which projects 80
feet; Smiths, which projects 100 feet; High
street, which projects 20 feet and Browns,
which projects about 225 feet His plan is to
cut these wharves off, SO as to bring them to
the Commissioners line. As opposed to this
plan and yet obvlate the difficulty created by
them is the project of some of the propretors
of some of the wharves mentioned, which is
to lengthen all the other wharves so as to form
new line. This it is claimed would remove
the objections raised and create uniform cur
rent down the harbor. 1t will also preserve a
valuable property, such as the lower end of the
wharves referred to has become, and beyond
this, it is argued, that the requirements of our
city demand more wharf facilities; that it is
only question of time when these wharves
shall be heightened: and that eventually all the
narrow wharves will be united together SO as
to produce fewer wharves in number, but broad
er and longer ones, down which double railroad
tracks may be laid.
For the present, however, the question OF
changing the condition of the wharf property
is held in allegiance. Meanwhile operations
have already begun under the direction OF
Gen. Thorn, and yesterday the dredging vessels
made their first excavations off the end of Cen
trail wharf.

Quiet Election.
There were but very few fights incidental to
the election up to sunset to-day. Not even half
a dozen arrests for illegal voting occurred, and
a majority of these were discharged. -Four ar

papers. Two inspectors of election were ar
rested for tampering with the registration lists,
and both held in $4,000 bail for trial.
