lar session yesterday forenoon, at which al
the members were present.
George Z. Bates, John Mcneil, f. X. AL
sip, John T. Carey, w. A. Houghton, A. S.
Hopkins and others of the Board of Trade
appeared and presented the resolutions adopt,
ed at the neeting Of said Board held few
days since, to the effect that it was deemed
advisable that a tax levy of not less than ten
cents on each 500 of taxable property
within tue city should be made and
such amount expended annually in perfect
ing and strengthening the city levees, and
completing the drainage system. The power
of the Board OF Trustees to make such lew
was considered, and the law examined gov
erning the subject, which limits the annual
expenditure for such purposes to $40. COO.
unless previously authorized by special
election It was however suggested, and
believed to be within the authority of the
Board OF Trustees to pay such extra expenses
as for plmping water out of the city in cases
of overflow, from the general fund, and thus
make the entire $50, 900 available for the
levee work. To this end it was agreed that
an additional sum might be levied for the
general fund to meet such contingencies.
After q mutual Interchange of views upon
the subject of leyees and taxation for their
Improvement, the matter was taken under
advissment by the Board of Trustees.

the present how OF water from them into the
city through Burns slough, was discussed at
considerable length Nh. Blair claimed that
the wells amounted to nothing; that little or
no water came froIa the tubes. but that it
percolated all through the ground and came
up outside Of the wells, and nothing whatever
could be done TO remedy the matter. Mr..
