Pat. Kennedy, ESQ.,, from the Committe
on Music, reported that his committee ha,
canyassed the city bands, but unsatisfac
torily, and said that Thomas Owens hat
gone to Benwood.
John Healy, Jr., said that the Benwoot
band would accompany the Benwood dele
CATION to this city, but It would be impos
sible to come before o'clock.
Mayor Sweeney moved that the com
mittee have power to employ band.
Thomas Owens was opposed to having
band. The building would be filled from
pit to dome at any rate, and he was op
posed to any extra expenditure OF money
Several other gentlemen were OF the same
opinion.

band.

question oil music be placed in Mr.. John
Healy's hands, which was carried.
