the members of Conncil who desired
had an opportunity of expressing their
views upon the subject, and ii desira-
bic by any member he would

sed council unanimously.

Mr. Guthrie from the Tenth Ward pre-
scented the petition of Ben amin Rigby,

at the intersection of Linden and Frank
lin streets and the other at Linden and

On motion of Mr. Norton, the ordi.
nance providing an additional police
man in the Fourth Police District, was
read a third time, and on the motion
to adopt the title, Mr.. Lynch said that
it was we'll known that h4 had been Op-
posed to any increase in the police
force, but after Investigating the ques-
ton and comforting with many of the
petitioners he was convinced that an
additional policeman was needed in the
Fourth district, and that is the reason
why he should vote for the ordinance.
As the roll was called, President
said he could not vote for
the pending ordinance, because it was
the entering wedge tor an additional
policeman ON all the other districts,
and this was but an indirect way of
what had been detected
almost unanimously by the city coun-
ell. He had also doubts as to the gem
uiuen-ss of til. signatures as he motto
I'd that the most OF them were written
in the same hand, and therefore he
would have to vote against the ordi-
nance.

Jones, payntrr, Price, and President
Lichtenstrin, voting against it,.
