that at an election held In pursuance Of the
order OF the Council November 3, 1874, that
the number OF votes cast in Clay Ward was
400 for and 5 against the establishment Of q

termined *. recommend the purchase Of the
lot at the northwest corner OF Cary and Pine

s., ,500) for the location of the market-house
in Clay Ward; and whereas the necessity
for said market-house becomes daily more
urgent,
ResoIued (the Common Council concur

purchase OF ground and the erection OF q.
market-honse in Clay Ward whatever sum
