COUNCIL PRoCEEDINGs.-Mr. Whip
pie made strong effort in favor OF
new school. 1t was exhaustive, and at
times quite atfecting-no levity intend
ed. Mr. Nixon responded, fayoring the
'patch" on the present inadequate
premises, and at the same time remind
ing Council that his constituents (Third
W arders) paid considerable taxes, and
their wishes should be needed. This
brought the venerable Henry Barr to his
feet, who said he was a Third Warder,
and paid considerable taxes without any
and was in favor OF large
lot and a new house for educational pur-
poses. But the grand effort OF the even
ing was the last and the best, and came
from the gallant young member from the
First Ward. whose whole soul and
talents are enlisted in the best
interests of the city. Mr..
Plummer was interrupted several times,
during his speech, Interruptions that
proved unavailing, as was shown by the
passage Of resolution submitting the
question to the people, at an election to
Oe called by the Mayor within two
weeks. Messrs. Plummer, Wnipple,
Barr, Venn, Grace and Berkenkamp
voted for the resolution, and Mr.. James
Nixon, singly and alone, againstit. We
lope the people will raLify the new
school project at the ballot-box as unan-
mously as Council did TIE resolution
'elerring the whole que 'tion to them.
