The notes reported above as being paid

The Finance Committee reported a
resolution, which was adopted, directing
the Treasurer to charge tho Tax Receiver
with the sum of $23, a33.76, being the
total amount Of the tax duplicates for the
year 1884. OF this amount, $500 was re-
ceived some time ago in advance taxes,
for which the Treasurer was directed to
give the proper credit, and $1s,500 has
been paid into the treasury and credited
to the various funds above, leaving
$4,233.7G, due on the taxes of 1884, on
the first of October.
Sundry bills of costs in Supreme Court
cases, were referredtto the Laws and Or
dinance Committee.
Mr.. Wilmot, from the Lamps and Gas
Comm ittee, moved that when the Council
adjourn it be to next Monday evening, at
which time it is expected the Council ill
consider the question of lighting the
streets for the ensuing year. The COM
mittee presented bill of A. G. Gandey,
for $l01 .63, nearly all of it being for new
lamp posts, repairs, &c. Order paid.
The Printing, Poor and Fire Depart
ment Committees, made no reports.
Mr.. Wilmot, from the Street Commit
tee reported the pay rolls for the month
aud load of crossing stone, total amount
of street expenses for the month being
$341 AS. Ordered paid.
The Street Committee also reported
that they had consulted with the parties
in interest, who had petitioned for the
extension of Jefferson and North Frank
lin streets, who informed them that the
property owner whose land it would be
necessary to take, refused to surrender it
for an equivalent which the petitioners,
who would have to pay for it, were will
ing to give, and that they did not desire
the appointment of commissioners. The
report was received, and so far as the
Council is concerned, the matter has been
dropped.
Small Show and Sanitary Committees
no reports.
For the School Committee, Mr.. Smith
moved that the City Treasurer be direct
ed to pay the orders Of the School Trus-
tees in excess of the amount to their
credit OH his books. The reason given
was that the City Treasury held large
amount of school fnnd, because it must
be paid to the State, and it is not paya-
BILE until the first of January. In the
meantime, before its return to the school
fund, the Trustees will need funds to pay
current expenses. The motion was
adopted.
From the Police and City Property
Committees, no reports, only bills, which
were ordered paid.
The total amount of money authorized
to be drawn from the Treasury during
the evening, and including two previous
special meetings, is 1,064.27.
On motion, adjourned.
Stop in and see my shoes--I have
mems, women's and children's, good and
at low prices. My expenses are small
and they allow me to sell little above
cost. ]. LOUDEN,
