rafting o%verhaullng but came out winner by
ono vote. The lobby was u big n for q
regular meeting, II being drawn by the cleo.
ton Of weighers announced TO take place.
There wasa full attendance In both branches
In the Second Branch. President Hildreth
presided, and all the members were present
except Messrs. Butts, Dickman, Mckinley,
Pickett and Roth. The minutes were read
and the rules suspended for the purpose OF
adopting an ordinance repeating rule 80,
which required the calling Of the ayes aud
nays on every question requiring an exped-
diture OF money. The roll will now only be
called when demanded.
H BOARD GErs A wHIRL.
Atthis point Col. wilkinson rose and said
that he wanted the minority report OF the
Wharf committee reconsidered; that he had
voted for 1t under a Misrepresentation, and
now wanted the majority report adopted. as
had been done In the First Branch. This
started the bail. The majority report, It will
be remembered, provided for turning the
wharf over to the Board OF Public Works.
Messrs. Porter Smith, Gleason, Haberfeld
and Stanley opposed the proposition very
strongly, alleging that the Board wanted TO
do with the present wharf master, elected
by the people, as they had done by the street
commissioner, dispense with his services.
Mr.. Peterson advocated the adoption; the
wharf, he said, was In an awful condition,
aud as the Board received the revenues from
1t, II should keep 1t In repair. For a half
hour the row was kept up aud then the vote
by which the minority report, or better
known as the Kimberly report was recon.
sidered and the msj1rlty report adopted.
Mr.. Haberield objected, but was not sus'
tanned, to Dir. Clator voting on this question,
he being an employee OF the Board.
Mr.. J: D. McRaddsn, the new member from
the Fourth ward, was Sworn Ia and placed
on oil committees on which his predecessor,
Mr.. Kimberly, served.
The Committee on City Prison reported

that two hose plugs bs placed in the Ceutre
market Tor the purpose Of cleaning. This re-
port was adopted without any discussion ex.
cept on that part relating to the extension OF
the Centre Market The economists were
now heard. MessrS. Peterson and Wins erter
were opposed very strongly to rushing into
this expenditure blindly. After u long dis.
cuSsion the matter was referred back 10 the
committee, II to ascertain the probable cost
for extending the covering over one.half OF
