utes, he should do so and not bury himself
in paper - .s. . .s.,-a..rH
The chair declared the order we'll taken
and Mr.. Quinn ceased reading.
The petition of the administrators of the
estate of William Brown, deceased, asking
that a rebate of $3.50 for school tax. paid
should be allowed, was reported favoraoly
and adopted. Mr.. Talley explained that
Mr.. Brown was colored man and did not
pay school tax, to which ClcrkFraim added !:
'and he's deaf, too."A ii s4lIiD-
Treasurer Pierce reported balance In the
treasury of $49,905.17. Chief Engineer
McIntire reported "a men at work with q
| pay-roll of S350.50. The Street Commissioner
reported 13 men, two double and one single
team at work, with payroll Of $67.64.
Orders for the two pay-rolls@ were then
granted.
Mr.. Eastburn stated that he had number
| of petitions of persons objecting to the re-
moval of the street markets butwould With
hold them until the proper time. -
| Mr. Blake then reported that he had a
| petition from residents of Madison street,
asking that the market be removed to that
| thoroughfare. He also stated that the peti.
| TONERS were in favor of having both King
and Madison streets from Front to Sixth set
| apart for the market.
l. The petition was presented for reading
and after considerable alleged elocutionary
pyrotechnics us TO whether all the names
should be read, upon the right of objection,
/ etc., 1t was read with all the names, about
| l25 in number.
| The petition was then referred to the
proper committee. lr-L-fEL
BY request the contract of the National
Dredging Company WAS extended until
July /, 1888, as the time for completion.
Hugh Morrow and others asked the right
| to set 80 feet of curb at the northeast corner
If Ninth and Kirkwood streets. The request

| Mr.. Quinn presented resolution restrict
ing the amount of money TO be used by the
Committee on Sewerage for o preliminary
survey at $50, and moved that It be adopted
Mr. Talley, as the chairman OF the Sewer.
age Committee, said if Council intended tc
restrict the committee to $50 1t might do so
but it would Immediately receive his resig
nation as chairman. He Thought no wa,
we'll enough known to be trusted. He had
been in consultation with two engineers from
New York, and-it would take more than $5t
to pay their expenses here. 1t was well t,
have the opinions of persons who knew
about such matters. Ono OF the engineers
Robert Herrick, would arrive in this city
next Wednesday and would be taken by tn.
Sewerage Committee over the proposed
route to the Delaware With some people
it was foregone conclusion that thest
sewer matters must be pushed through a
once. The speaker himself had not mad,
up his mind and~would not till he heard thi
reports OF the engineers. -t
Mr.. Quinn said it did not require an engi
neer TO tell that the city could not be draine,
to the river. The city had better pay tn
experts to keep away. There was q deb
now of 81, ,500, 900 and the sewer busines
would increase it considerably. The cit,
was well drained, and God spilled his drop
| over it, boing better work than the Stree
Commissioner. He thought 1t was neces
sary to get water for the use of the cit,
IRON pure source. He thought "ther
| was monkey somewhere" .,
| II al y 10
marks were like poetry, but 1t wasn't tn
water made by God that the Sewerage Com
mittee were anxious to get rid of. He, Tai
ley, was not welded to the system of sewer
| age, but having been put upon the commit
tee he was going to do the best he could.
Mr.. Paynter thought the demands of thu
business men and taxpayers should be no
ticed. The request OF such bodies as tht
Board of Health and the Board of Trad,
ought to he considered, as they represented
fully as much brains as could be found II
Council. He thought the knowledge o
Courcil on the sewer question was yer.
ineagre. Brains, he said, could not b
bought like herring, in bunch, and S5i
| was a small sum to set apart to bring sucl
| gentlemen as were needed to see whethe
) sewers were needed or what was the bes
course to adopt. He would oppose the les
olution. In the opinion of many citizen
there is immediate need for a system of sew
erage, aud it is the duty of Council to fint
out whether or not the city needs sewer
before the meeting of the Legislature HI
did not think itright TO cripple the specia
committee and concluded by saying, st
you adopt this resolution you mightas wei

the Board Of Health and Board of Trad

, Mr.. Bailey moved to amend the motion
; making the amount 500. g,s
Mr.. Paynter then moved to amend th
J amendment, leaving the amount to be ex
9 pended open to the discretion of the com
mittee. }f -
Mr.. Quinn said that he wanted TO ge
clear to the kernel OF the nut. 1t would b
incurring a debt on the poor for the beneti
of the rich. He objected to bringing me
here from New York, as Mr.. Conwell wa
!. competent and able to run the lines,

sewerage, and thought ifany benefit .woul
be derived from bringing the New YoF
