The written opinion of the City Soil,
tor was read by Mr.. Turner, and aft
some discussion, referred to the La
Committee. In the discussion, pen
ing IN btion to accept and file the r,
port, Mr.. Quinn branded the Solicit,
as being the "President of a La,

"The parties to this contract ,likeBen,

the Law Committee.
| A bill OF s. in favor of Mr.. Beecbe
for a new city map purchased by hin
was read and created con siderable dis
cussion. Mr.. Garrett said the man VIII,
sold the map obtained all his inforrna
ton and did the work In the Surveyor,
office, and that if the bill was allowed
he would make u motion to advertis.
the man as the mcanest that ever visit
Ell Wilmington. He wanted u commit

request him to present the city with
three maps. He was willing to he ont
OF the committee, and If the man did
not comply with the request he would
blackguard him. Mr.. Beechcr thought

purchased it, and il the bill was not nj.

Mr.. Newell called attention to the
condition ot the streets Of the Eleventh
ward, which created some discussion
between him and Mr.. Garrett. Mr..
johnson gave Mr.. Newell great CT dit
tor his honesty and earnestness towards
his constituents, but thought it strange
that heretofore he had hardly opened
his mouth since he became a member,
but now, just before election, he dcvel-
opth into an earnest advocate for the
of the streets of his ward.
Mr.. Newell insisted that these remarks
were prompted by the City Solicitor,
who had just been whispering to Mr..
Johnson. That gentleman replied that
the Solicitor was hired for that purpose.
After further discussion, Chief Engineer
Con made brief statement in re-
gard to the matter, and said that all the
attention possible had been given 10 the
streets in this ward and that the grades
'ould not be well fixed until the city
'wned the beds of the streets.
AT this point Mr.. q inn rose to II !
question OF privilege, and said that he |

of this Council and had Iern |
