COMMON CoUNcTL.-A special meeting of
on last Thursday evening, to hear the report
of the Fire Dept. Committee, sc.
/ The opinion of the City Solicitor was read
respecting the late election for Chief Engineer
of the Fire Department. 1t was, that as there
was tie, aud no election, it was the duty of
Council to elect, the provision of the ordi-
nance referring it back to the companies hav-
ing reference only to cases where there was
an election, and the Council had refused to
confirm the choice made.
On motion, the paper was received, and it
was resolved to proceed 10 an election.
Mr. Gullick moved to refer the matter back
to the fire companies. Lost.
Messrs. C. II. Clarke and c. II. w. Van
| Solver were nominated.

Building 81 Loan As. 1ciation referred to
Finance c, ,mmittee, who were instructed to
get the opinion Of the City Solicitor.
Mr.. Smith asked for insti action as to the
purchase of fire hose. He ha> carefully ex-
amined the matter, and believe, sthe interests
of the city required the purchase d carooliz-
ed hose.
Mr.. Finney stated that he had als> , lnvesti-
gated the subject and found the cal ooiizea
hose much more durable.
Messrs Kilroy and Gullick advocated me
purchase of home manufacture, and conten, /
ed that the hose used by the Hibernis Fire
Company for two years stood the test well
and was in good condition.
Messrs Finney and Smith said they would
much prefer home manufact ure, but the lie
of uncarbolized hose was not greater than
three or four years, while that OF carbohzed
hose manufactured by only one company nm
der patent) was from eight to ten years.
The interests of the city required that the
most durable be got, as the price was but lit
tlo greater than the uncarbolized. Tho hose
made here was as good probably as any of the
uncarboized.
Mr. Herr said that he had been told that
the uncarbolized hose after a use of only two
or three years, had burst at the recent fire at
the railroad shops, while carbolized hose in
use ten years had stood the test. Ii hose un- |
carbolized rotted that soon, it would not do
to put the property of the city to risk by the
bursting of hose at such times.
After further discussion, it was resolved to I
purchase 800 feet of Maltese cross rubber |
hose.
Mr. Smith presented report from the Com |
mittee on Public Schools in regard to the APP
preparation asked for the coming year. He
said the committee did not feel like recon-
ueUuiuR but ItQucet iOi upPioPionich
of So. 546, which was an increase of 1878 over
last year. There were several unusual ex-
penses last year which were paid out of the
appropriation of that year, and they could
not see why the schools could not be run ON
the same appropriation. 1t would be neces-
sary as there were $4,000 of bounty bonds and
$4,000 of school bonds to be paid off this year,
to be economical. Next year they could af-
ford to be more liberal, if it was thought
best.
On motion, an appropriation of $2,971 was
allowed the School Board.

garbage, with j. L. Wilson security, was
