Old and New School Assemblies. The
discussion was carried into the denomi-

President Underhill reported on his atten lance
at the Tramp Convention at Columbus on the
Sth inst. The generalsense Of the convention was
that tramps are becoming national nuisance,
and something should be done TO protect towns
and cities from their impostiOns.
On motion, City Solicitor was directed to draw
up an ordinance instructlng the police to procure
blank book for the purpose OF registering all
tramps who may be Kept, and for the purpose nf
preventing repetitionS Of visits II was further
moved and carried that committee OF three be
appointed to provide city work house, and pro-
cure stone for the purpose OF setting tramps to
work. Messrs Cobaughs Campbell and Biechele
were appointed. "
City Clerk instructed TO draw an order for
SIG 75in favor of Mr. r.Underhill expenses to Tramp
Convention. ..I..
In the matter of uniformity in the volume of
found things in deplorable condition, and that
the city paid for more gas than was consumed
This state of things is due greatly 10 the fact that
the city lamp lighter employs young boys to at
tend to lightings who rush through cart less =,
paying no attention to the condition of brrners,
which needed cleaning badly. The metcr lamps
burn brightly, while the others are dim and un-
satisfactory. Suggested that lamp lighters be in-
strncted as to their duties, and that street lamps
should be numbered, 70 that lamps needing re-
pairs and attention could be more readily re-
ported, Report referred to Committee on Gas.
