and with probability OF its being more.
Mr.. Chandler favored the assessments
being placed at 10 per cent. The city
would then be run as it should be.
Mr.. Paynter stated that he would not
be bound by party influence in the mat
ter. He had been in favor Of making
it more but as the gentlemen of the
Committee had explained that by leav-
ing out several items that had been
sources of considerable outlay they
could by economical outlay run the city
on the amount named in the report.
A few remarks were made Messrs
Guthrie and Taylor after which the
motion prevailed.
Mr.. McGlinchey then reported sever
al commissions. One that had been
appointed on the property of John Nc
Clafferty at 5th and Walnut Sts., and
the other on Vandever avenue. The
first commission was sent to the com
mittee on Streets, and the latter was
taken up for action. The Street Com
mittee reported in favor of accepting
the Vandever avenue commission witt
the exception of that portion awarding
to Louis Bullock whose house stands
right in the line of the street the sun
of $3.50.
Mr.. Chandler moved to amend by re
jectipg the report of the commission.
MIR. McGlinchey did not favor th'
motion op the ground that the citizens
in the vicinity were entitled to the i'm
provement. There had been fou
commissions appointed and the re
port of this one seems to be the mos
favorable as the preceding ones ha'
awarded to MIR. Bullock $4,000.
Mr.. Paynter favored the adjournment
of Council to the spot ON Wednesda,
evening next. Mr.. Paynter though
that the commission ran out by limi
taton by that time. Col. Taylor raise'
the question whether it had not rul
out anyhow as the required time sine
it was issued by the Judge had gon
by. The members thought the question
an important one and decided to ad
iourn over until Wednesday evenin,
next, and in the meantime make in
ouiry as to whether the time was no
really up.
The return of the Commission fo
widening and Strengthening Shipley
Run. between Sixth and Seventh streets
was also Presented, the damages being
assessed at 800.
