Respectfully,
CI1As. CAvANAC,
Administrator OF Commerce.
Mr.. Cavanac said that the circulation OF
report and public announcement made III
the Council Chamber by q man that an III
junction had been sued out, and CauttOning
| them would be at their risk and peril caused
the markets to sell for 100000 less than they
otherwise would have sold for.
I have been offered by responsible parties
$4,000 more than they had realized the pre-
| vious year.
I therefore move that the bids be rejected,
as the city's interest would be best served by
the rejection OF the bids offered for the pub
| lie markets.
The motion was unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Cavanac then offered the following reso~
luton:
ResoIped, That the Mayor be and is hereby
authorized to take such steps as he may deem
necessary in conjunction with the City At
| torney to bond or dissolve the Injunction
taken out in the Sixth District Court by Geo.
| Dietrich against the sale OF the revenues OF
the public markets.
The resolution was unanimously adopted,
the yeas and nays having been called.
The following report from Mr.. McCaffrey
| was read
