investigate the matter. have con.

To abolish the officers instead"
On the petition Of Gotlieb Mammele,
asking fol. water pipes on Poplar It,,
between Fifth and Sixth, to supply 4
number Of new houses, (ths pipe to- be
laid at bis own sxpense,) the Waser
Committee reported fsvorably, pro
vided the Petitioner sign an agreement
TO pay the cost, and further, shss the
cost shall be credited to the water sp-
preparation for 1879.
Mr.. McGlinchey didn't think this
cOu d be dons. 1t would establish q |
bad precedent and other committees
would with the same propriety ask for
special orders in their respective DE-
partments. All such revenue should |
90 to the general fund.
The report WAS lost by rising vote
Of 7 to8.
The special committee on the petit
tion of l.. p. Lynch, Street Commission
