OF Committee on Ordinances and Public
Accounts.
To the Honorable Common Council.
GENTLEMEN: The Committee on Ordinances.
to whom the accompanying ordinance, No. 1877,
with the communication of the Comptroller.
was referred, respectfully report that they have
examined the same and are of the opinion,
First-That as ordinance No. 1877 was not
adopted by three-fourths vote of the Council
as required by section 2, chapter 26, of the
Special Laws of 1878 there is no authority
given for the refunding of any portion of the
license fees paid by wood dealers, or the issu-
ance of any city orders therefor:
Second-That as the moneys obtained for
licenses issued to wood dealers were anticipated
as revenue in the tax levy they certainly ought
not to be refunded until new tax levy is
made upon the people of this city to raise the
money with which to pay back these license
fees:
We therefore recommend the adoption of the
ordinance hereto attached repeating section q of
ordinance No. 1877.
WALTER H. SANBoRN,
Chairman of Committee on Ordinances.
Adopted. (See ordinance below
Also,
The Committee on Ordinances, to whom was
referred the accompanying communication of
Gen. r. N. McLaren, respectfully report:
That they have examined the grievance of
which he complains, and find:
First-That Gen. McLaren applied for and
obtained his five permits, while the old ordi-
nance on sewers was in force and before the
ordinance now in force was adopted.
Second-That Gen. McLaren is building five
houses on the premises he mentions and pro-
poses to connect them all with the sewer, as
we understand 1T. through one orifice, as d.
rected by the city engineer.
Third-That the sewer he connects with is q
sand rock sewer and as he has been permitted
to plan and make his connection through one
drain, we think that under sections Is and 26
of the old ordinance, he should have paid two
dollars instead of ten dollars.
We therefore recommend the adoption of the
accompanying resolution.
WALTER 81. SANBoRN,
Chairman of Com. on Ordinances.
Adopted. (See resolution.)
Also,
The Committee on Ordinances, to whom was
referred the accompanying ordinance. relative
to an inspector of buildings, and the resolution
of Aid. Bell on the same subject, respectfully
report:
That they have examined the same with care,
and are of the opinion that it is at this time
not advisable to adopt the same, and they
therefore recommend their indefinite postpone
ment. WALTER 81. SANBoRN,-
