II will be noticed that ore OF these
orders is payable to-day. But matters
being bridged over by the passage OF
Mr.. Kimberley's resolution, all will
float along serenely. There was some
lively work over the adoption OF the
Kimberly resolution, and much chang
ing of votes. At last, however, the
thing floated through nicely, there being
but one or two dissenting votes.
After the above matters had been uls-
posed OF, the report Of the Fire Depart
ment was taken up and adopted.
At $50 o'clock last evening, Mr..
Baker moved that the Loan Ordinance
be taken up and Mr.. Commeriord moved
to adjourn. Mr. Duuning wanted the
remainder OF the regular reports taken
ND, but to this Mr.. Kimberly objected
the First Branch had adjourned and an
other meeting would be necessary this
week. This Branch had passed enough
work to start the Second and he was de-
cidedly in favor of taking up the Loan
Ordinance. He made such motion and
it being adopted the attention OF the
Council was turned toward the ordl'
nance. The ordinance was, on motion
of Mr.. Smith, laid on the table
May 9th, when on its second reading
for amendment. According to rule %
three meetings having elapsed, the pa
per came up as an original one. 1t was
read the first time by Clerk Bowers,
some of the members listening, others
talking and others lobbying on the same.
At the conclusion OF the first reading
Mr.. Hildreth moved that the rules be
suspended and the ordinance read ID
second time. This being carried Mr..
Wingerter first moved 1.-THE ordinance
being read Sc rond time) that the pur-
chase OF the Fifth ward market house
certificates be stricken out. No second.
Mr.. Kimberly moved to insert after
"high water service" "or stand, pipe,
as may seem best to the City Council"
Adopted.
By Mr.. Kimberly-That the election
be held OH October 20, and the bonds be
delivered to the Commissioners as soon
as possible. This was adopted and fol-
lowed by the necessary changes in dates
to conform with the date of the election
as was in the former ordinance, all OF
which has been published.
An election was had for commission
ers. Mr.. Baker nominated MIR. Hildreth,
Mr.. Kimberly, Mr.. Simpson; Mr.. Dunn
ing, Mr.. Logan; Mr.. Walters, Mr. Scott;
Mr.. Baker, Jones; Mr.. Kimberly, Mr..
Jepson; Mr.. Hoffman. Mr.. Hearn; and
and Mr.. Haberfed, Mr.. Hubbard.
On the second ballot an election was
had as follows: Hildreth s, Jepson s,
Logan Z, Hearn 6, Simpson 3, Hubbard
and Jones !. The first three were &C
cordingly named as commissioners and
the amount of bond required oil them
placed at $1,000 each. Several other
amendments were made and at last the
ordinance was read third tune by its
title and passed, DR.. Wingerter being
the only one out of the fourteen present
who voted against it.
The much talked OF ordinance has at
last gone through the lower branch and
is now ready for the upper house. The
city il sadly in need OF it and the sooner
1t gets it the better for all parties con.
cerned. 1t is really the only way out OF
the present difficulty, as In addition to
Sl2 800 needed at present, the water
works, streets, alleys and grades and
Fifth ward market house are all in need
of money.
In connection with the above fnan-
cial reports, it might not be amiss TO

Bowers, showing the expenditures for
