4 registration and offered The following regolu-

registration, and offered the following resolu-
ton:
Resogyed, That j. O. Landry, Registrar, OF
Voters, be and is hereby authorized 10 employ
eight additional clerks Of registration foT
sixty days, at a compensation nOI 70 e&ceeu
three dollars per diem.
Mr. Mccartney objected to the adoption OF
the resolution. He said he did not think 1t
proper that the city should pay the expense
OF State office. The city was unable to pay
its own current expenses; reductions We're
continually demanded in several of the de-
| partments: yet In the face Of the fact that
the Parish Committee reports that the mum"
Der Of citizens applying for registration was
small, the city is called upon to authorize the
employment Of eight clerks in addition to the
| fifty allowed by the Legislature.
Mr. Cavanac replied that this was an inn
portant matter. Citizens want to be regis
tered, and he thought all necessary facilities
should be afforded them.
On call of the roll the vote stood:
Yeas-Brown, Cavanac and Denis-3.
Nays-Diamond, Mccartney and Reng-
storff-3.
| The Mayor gave the casting vote in the
negative, and the resolution was declared not
adopted. VS..
| Mr.. Cavanac called up an ordinance author
izing Robert G. Wood to erect q market on the
| neutral ground on Napoleon Avenue.
| Mr.. McCaffrey asked the Mayor for his de-
cision on the points raised by him at the last
| meeting.
The Mayor replied that he did not consider
the points raised as pertinent to the present
| case. He did not approve this mode OF grant
ing privilege to private parties, though all
presidents were In it's favor. He did not
think that article twenty three of the charter,
requiring sealed proposals for work, referred
to questions Of this kind. However, 1t was
his opinion that it would be proper to call for
proposals to see who would be willing to sur
render the market to the city In the shortest
length of time.
Mr. Mccartney referred to the action OF the
Council in 1869 in the Bazaar Market case. In
stead Of accepting a proposition of $1,000 a
year, sealed proposals were called for, and
the city received S100,000 clear gain OF
about $50, OO0. He, therefore, thought that ii
was wrong to give this privilege to any single
party. Bids ought to be advertised for and
the Council ought to secure for the city's
treasury the largest benefit possible.
Mr.. Denis said that the difficulty seemed tt
be whether there was any necessity for 6
market in that locality at all The number
of persons who opposed it's erection seemed tt
be as large as that of those who favor it. Ht
thought the matter ought to receive further
consideration, and therefore moved that thu
whole subject lay over till next meeting.
Agreed to unanimously.
: The communication of r. Gilmore IL Sons
in reference to Henry Ellermanns proposition
was called up and laid over.
The Council then adjourned.

As it becomes necessary for the preservation
Of the health of the city at this season of the
year, that every possible effort should be made
towards keeping the public avenues, cutters
and alleys clean and free from all offensive
matter, hereby respectfully call upon the pub
lie to assist the authorities by complying with
the following requests. to wit:
l. Such residents as have yard hydrants are
requested to permit same to run a sufficient
time to wash away rubbish, filth. ETC., and to
render the street cutters fresh and clean. This
step becomes necessary as many Of the cross
streets, or streets parallel with the river are
without water plugs, and the difficulty hereto
fore experienced In flushing these cutters be-
ing mainly due to defective drainage and the
want OF water.
2. Residents will please place, OF instruct
their servants to place. the garbage in boxes in
front of their dwellings before O'Clock a. M.
prior to the city carts making their rounds
strict adherence to this plan will remove, in a
great measure, the cause of the great number Of
com plants concerning the non-removal Of
garbage.
Therefore earnestly request all good citizens
to aid the authorities In keeping the streets
and cutters clean and healthy. and in assisting
to remove any waste or offensive scattering
promptly.
If a proper spirit is manifested by the public
in this respect the workings of this department
will be greatly facilitated, and much Of the
cause for complaint heretofore existing mate
