On report of the Board of Public Works,
showing the amount of work done by them
IN 1879.
Your committee would recommend the print

TO the board as many believe there is but little
labor attached to the Office, and that not very
important. The report gives history or digest
Of their labors the past year. which is interest
ing to tax payers and our community generally.

Committee on gas
Would respectfully recommend that the
lamp on corner of Harriet and Martin street
be removed to the opposite corner, from the
fact that the lamp is constantly bein! broken
by passing teams. Also that the fines of March
49, for % out lamps, be RENTED. It was
windy night and twenty-eight of the old lamps
are nearly worthless, these being the ones that
wore out. Prof. Saroni says many of the old
iron open top lamp frames are broken and put
tied together with lead putty, not strong
enough to hold the glass. which is the reason
for SO many outs on windy night. We would
also recommend the removal (by Prof. Saroni)
of all lamps not fit for use, and replace them
with such as he has been furnishing the city.
Chief Weber reports the oil lamps as being
kept clean, and giving satisfactory light.

OF COMMITTEE ON ORDINANCES.
Regulating Public Market
To the Honorable Common Council:
GENTLEMEN: Your Committee Ordinan-
ces, to whom was referred the proposed ordi-
nance to repeal ordinance No. IS, relating to
Markets, respectfully report that after al ex-
animation of ordinance No. SO they are of
opinion that it is not advisable to repeal the
same, but that the same should be SO amended
that proper grounds may be designated for the
Public Market and the many statutory provi-
sions of ordinance No.. IS, regarding especially
tie character of articles to be sold in the Pub-
lie Market and the order, cleanliness and con-
duct of the same retained. Our reason for this
conclusion is that repeal of ordinance No. IS
would leave us without any authority or con-
troll over the Public Market, the character Of
provisions sold therein and the conduct of the
parties making the sales, except such as is de-
rived from the general laws and the police
powers of our city government.
1t has been found necessary to have and ex-
ecute the provisions of ordinance No. IS when
our public market was arranged systematically
about the Market House. We think shall
need these provisions even moe this coming
season when the market must be extended
along Seventh and Cedar st reefs, while the new
Market House is being constructed.
We therefore recommend the adoption OF the
ordinance hereto alta ched, which provides for
the establishment of the public market on new
ground and makes the Statutory provisions of
ordnance No. IS applicable thereto.
