At the regular meeting OF this Branch
the following members were present, the
Mayor presiding: Baird, Blair, Egcrtcr,
McAdams. Schambra, Buttcrtield, Stone
Wallace, Hall, Hoffman and Wilson.
The minutes OF the last meeting were
read and approved.
The report of the joint committee on
temporary workhouse and the rules and
regulations for the government of the
same were read. After the reading OF
the first resolution, which includes the
adoption of the rules, &c, discussion
ensued between Messrs. Stone and Eyer
ter over lis rejection or adoption.
Mr.. Stone objected TO the concurrence,
by this Branch, in the rules laid down
because he believed the city had no legal
authority to execute the provisions con-
tanned therein.
Mr.. Egerter stated that the city
prisoners heretofore had been made
TO work on public Improvements,
and he could not see any
reasonable objection TO the same
now. He thought that good deal of
influence had been brought to bear on
members by certain interested parties
that the city had no legal power 10 pro-
coed in the matter. because trouble would
come of it This, he claimed, was all
nonsense. Some further discussion about
the correctness Of the name of the Insti-
tuition, took place when the motion pre-
vailed 50 that each section of the rules be
approved Seriat'm.
The first resolution was amended by
changing the name Of "Workhousc' to
