WHEREAS, In the recent laying of
water pipes the center stones in various
streets, were disturbed, and in many
cases entirely thrown from their center,
therefore, be it, ResOtred that the con-
tractor be requestedto have the stones
fixed properly, according to the lines in
the Survey Department.
Mr.. Conrad introduced a resolution
providing for the purchase of horse and
carriage, for the use of the Street Com
missioner,S Street Committee and Opening
Streets committee, the Cost not to exceed
$3.50.
Mr.. Lynch, objected to the passage of
wages are low, ,and everything else Coun-
Gil should curtail its expenses, and hus-
band the money.
He knew that the citizens would OBJ
ject to the passage of the measure. They
would think that the Commissioners and
Committee were getting high toned, that
they needed horse and carriage to ride
around with. The other Commissioners
and Committees did not have one, and
he thought the Commissioner should put
up with little inconvenience as well as
other people; he did not see what they
wanted the horse and carriage for except
to electioneer.
Mr.. Chandler, said he had signed the
resolution because he thought that it
would be saving to the city; il would
enable the Commissioner to visit all the
men and see that the work was done.
As for politics, that idea must have origi-
mated in the gentleman's head who had
just spoken.
Mr.. Lynch-Don't the Commissioner
have boss to each gang? He must be
very high toned if he could not do a lit
tie walking.
Mr.. Baker had never heard so much
buncombe in the Council chambers, as
has just came out of the mouth of the
gentleman from the Tenth Ward. He
is a memberof the Committee, but does
not attend the meetings very regularly
and therefore does not know the large
amount of work that is being done
Mr.. Lynch inteTupting.-"It is not
worth while when you try to run every
thing yourself''-
MIR. Baker, II deny the assertion" Mr.
Lynch, "You try do it" anyway.
Mr.. Baker speaking again to the point.
The city is doing great amount of work
at. the present time and long distances
apart.
Other Commissioners had assistants,
and he thought this would be cheaper
than appointing an assistant Commits
sioner.
The resolution was adopted.
The Street Committee presented the
following proposals for laying a terra
Gotta drain on Tenth street from Walnut
to Lombard:
