Mr.. Sheridan offered resolution that
the street commissioner be and is here
by directed to have the sewer in Grier
avenue, between South and Summer
streets, put in repair.
There was considerable debate on this
resolution. Mr.. Leggett thought that
section of the city was nearly bankrupt,
and he should hesitate before voting
away any more money. The people
there have not paid their taxes or as.
sessments. He moved to refer the res
olution to sewer committee. Which
was lost Z to 7.
MIR. Tenney then moved to refer it
to the street committee, which was
agreed to-8 to 6.
Mr.. Sheridan favored repairing the
sewer at this ,ime when men are idle,
and when the work can be done on adj
,antageous terms.
Mr.. Egan thought VIC had no right
to tear up the patent pavement, unless
with the consent of the company.
Mr.. Schultheis said the sewer must
be repaired, and this was the best time
to do it--as the work would give en-
ployment to men now idle.
MIR. Sheridan offered the following !:
Whereas, There are hundreds of Ia
boring men out of employment in this
city and by this council adopting 50 me
means to give them employment which
employment which would be beneficial
both to the city and the laborers, there
fore, be it
Resolved, That the city surveyor and
street commissioner report to this coun-
Gil, at its Mt xt meeting what public work
can be done this winter, that the ex
penses could be raised by general taxa
ton. Adopted.
Mr.. Sheridan, offered resolution
that the street commissioner be and is
hereby directed to allow the contractors
to proceed with their work during the
winter months where the same can be
done.
Mr.. Carlton offered the following
Whereas There has been a large
amount OF real estate in this city sold for
taxes and assessments, some as long ago
as 1868, and 1869, and
Whereas. The parties claiming to be
the owners CT the said property pay no
attention whatever. to its redemption,
and also neglect to pay subsequent taxes
and assessments, treating the whole
matter with the utmost indifference,
therefore
Resolved, That the comptroller be
respectfully requested to furnish the
city attorney with description of all
such property together with the names
of the reputed owners thereof, and that
the said city attorney be and he is here
by instructed to proceed at once to take
such legal measures, as will put the city
either in possession of the said proper
ty, or all arrears of taxes and assess
ments together with tho interest and
costs which may have accrued thereon
Adopted unanimously.
