meeting of Mayor and Aldermen.

A special meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen was held yesterday afternoon.
Mayor Deering presided, and Aldermen
Birnie, Russell, Sawyer, Denison and Noyes
were in attendance.
The petition of John Z. Davis for license
as auctioneer was granted, subject to the
City MarshaFs report, and permission was
given to the petitioner to sell after sunset.
The following petitions for new wooden
buildings were read and referred: OF E. c.
Greeley at sos Congress street; William Nc
Gonagle, 66 Wateryille street; Dexter S.
Rice, sos Congress street; Cornelius Connol-
ly, Commercial street.
The appointment of G. Z. Deering as
special policeman was confirmed.
Applications for licenses to store petro-
leum from John S. Fitz, George G. Shaw
and Geo. c. Shaw & Co., having received the
favorable report of the chief engineer of the
fire department, were granted.
Victualers' licenses were granted, subject
to the City Marshal's favorable report, to
Frank Casassa and w. j. Batbidge.
Mayor Deering stated that he consulted the
city solicitor in regard to establishing quar-
antine regulations, and Judge Symonds had
given as his opinion that the order under
which vessels should be placed in quaran-
tine must be passed by the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen. The Board of Health shall
then establish rules in accordance with
the order. As the schooner Elbridge
Souther has sailed from Cadiz, Spain, for
this port, his honor thought that something
should be done at once.
The following order was then unanimously
passed:
: ordered, That all vessels arriving at this port
from an injected port of Europe, or south of the
parallel of 33o north latitude, be anchored at
quarantine until permitted by the Board of Health
to come up to the docks.
The City Clerk is hereby instructed to inform
the Harhor Master of the passage of this order,
which he is required to carry into effect.
And the City Physician shall visit said vessel as
soon as possible, and report to the Mayor and
Board of Health such measures as he deems best
to be taken in the premises.
