The effort made few days ago to "bull" the

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE PROTECTION LEvEE.
The Casting Vote Of the Mayor Defeats
the Proposition.

The Casting Vote of the Mayor Defeats
the Proposition.
Yesterday, after the routine business before
the Council meeting had been disposed OF Mr..
Cavanac called up the resolution accepting the
lowest bid for repairing the protection levee at
the New Lake End. On q motion to adopt the
resolution there was tie, and the casting vote Of
the Mayor decided the question in the negative.
The Mayor took occasion to say, however, that he
did not wish it to be understood that he was op-
posed to the project, but that his vote was based
on the inability of the city to go to the expense
of thirteen or fourteen Thousand dollars when it
had so many bills to settle without any money to
pay them.
was not required to make any disbursement in
connection with the matter; that the City Rail-
road Company were ready to advance thescash,
TO BE DEDUCTED
from their tax bills that become due on the first
Of January next. The Mayor replied that this
could not be, because. in making the reimburse
ment the entire SUM would have to be first APP
propriated from the general fund, whereas
only 66.t56 Of the amount Of the tax belonged te
that fund, the remainder having to 60 to the in
terest, school and police funds.
In a conversation with the Mayor on the sub
ject, after the meeting, we found that he might
be disposed to favor the project if the City Rail-
road Company were willing to
ACCEPT THE REIMBURSEMENT
in yearly nstallments in the proportion of 60-150
per annum, which would absorb the debt in JAN
usry. 1872 or in TWO years, but the Mayor prefers
another plan which, IL it were practicable, would
economze the entire amount to the city. Tie
proposition would be that the City Railroad Com
psny repair the levee at their own expense, and
in compensation therefor they be given, for GER
tain period, the privilege to lease the SAM for
the location Of booths, in accordance, however,
with the plans of the Surveyor, and under the
control and supervision Of the Administrator of
Commerce. There are, however, several objec-
tions to the plan; one OF which is that it is ques.
ton whether the ground rents would afford suffi-
oient revenue to the railroad company, and the
other is whether it would be judicious to lease
public grounds to private corporation.
There is, notwithstanding all these objections
and the condition Of the protection levee matter,
possibility that some arrangements may yet be
made to secure the levee from utter destruction.
