The Committee on Public Sales and City
Lots, to whom was referred the second appli-
cation of the Commissioners of Chatham
county for the sale to them of the land adOn-
ing the pOise barracks for the purpose of
erecting a new Jail thereon, beg leave to say
that they have had the matter under cOnsid-
GRAFTON and have agreed not to submit q spe-
eial report to Council on the subject. They
recommend that Council take action upon the
application at this meeting. but before doing
so they suggest that the property owners IN
the immediate vicinity of said site be allowed
another opportunity to protest. if they desire
to do so, against the granting of said applica-
ton. The cOmHittee cannot agree upon a re-
port, and are unwilling to submit two reports
on the subject. They are satisfied that the
board are perfectly familiar with the reasons
in favor of and against the sale, and can de-
termine the question without any report from
the committee. Respectfully submitted,
Z. j. OCONNOR,
Chm Com. on Public Sales and City Lots.
Report received for information. (See ac-
ton on petition under petitions and Appli-
