close with the words "and lectures" Mr..
Stone moved 10 include in the prohibition

Mr.. Egerter offered a resolution to re-
quire the Street Commissioner to answer
why he has not obeyed the order OF Coun-
Gil passed Feb. l3, 1877.
Mr.. Woodward offered resolution re-
quiring the Street Commissioner to clear
out 18th street between Main and Water
streets at the expense OF the proprietors.
Mr.. Blair moved 10 include the oh.
struCtions on 10Th street, between Main

ton oil the Grant House.
Mr.. Stone amended 30 as to include The
Market space, and the same be done with.
in three days so far as 18th street is con.
cerned, and after ten days notice 80 far as
relates 10 the Grant House ruins. The
resolution as amended was adopted.
Mr.. Blair informed the Branch that the
Committee on Fire Department had,
through misunderstanding, failed 10
prepare its report Of the appropriations
necessary for the ensuing year, and asked
what remedy there was for the omission.
The Mayor replied there was nothing
provided In the law.
Mr.. Blair suggested that II is q matter
Of consideration whether under the dead.
lock which exists the Council has a
right TO close up saloons on account Of
the failure Of the Council to fx a price,
not having declined to grant license,
but fully intending to do 80.
Mr.. Egerter commended that there was
no controversy about giving license, but
the two Branches Of Council arc simply
fifty dollars apart on the price, and that
therefore the Council has no right to
close up the saloons. The proprietors
OF the saloons are ready to pay their Ii.
Censc when the sum is fixed.
Mr.. Blair inquired the condition Of
the issue between the First and Second
Branches in relation to the license law.
The Mayor replied that the papers
were in the hands Of the First Branch,
and re quest for n Committee Of Confer.
ence would properly come from that
body.
