Of the Council to authorize tl1e erection Of the

The question then reeurred upon the adop-
ton OF the ordinance as amended.
Mr.. McCatrrey raised the point that the
clause exempting the lessee from paying
taxes was already admitted to be Illegal In
the case of the Sugar Shed Company, as deter
mined by the present Council; and, further,
section 20 Of the city charter, DIS quoted by
the Administrator Of Commerce on the con-
tract question, explicitly requires that sealed
proposals should be invited In such cases.
Mr.. DENIS moved that the matter be laid
over until next meeting. Agreed 10.
The communication OF H. Ellermann, pro-
posing TO pay into the city treasury $4,000 per
month il lieu Of redeeming monthly ten
vharf bonds, was called UP.
