| Larock present, Alderman Duffel absent.
In the absence of the Mayor. Alderman Wick
nair, Mayor pro tenn, occupied the chair.
Secretary Sullivan being absent, ON motion o.
Alderman Goette Mr.. E. A. Ramirez was ap
pointed Secretary pro tenn.
Reading Of the minutes of the previous meet
ing was dispensed with.
Alderman Goette called attention to the fact
that the Secretary had omitted to record in his
minutes the appointment of committee al
the September session to revise the market
tariff.
Alderman Larock moved! that a committee
of three be appointed for that purpose. Adopted.
and the acting Mayor named Aldermen Larock,
Dufel and Goette as tie committee. The last
named declined to serve. for the reason that
there was committee already in existence. to
whom the formation of new committee would
be unjust and discourteous. He asked that Al
derman Rosa member of the first committee
be named in his stead. which was according
ly done.
On motion of Alderman Goette, that portion
Of the resolution offered by Alderman Duffel
and adopted at the last meeting which requires
the Treasurer to present his vouchers to the
Council, was rescinded; and it was ordered that
the Collector effect his monthly settlements
with the Treasurer at least one day prior to the
stated monthly meetings Of the Council. aud
that both these officers be required to make
monthly reports at said meetings. The reason
assigned for amending Mr.. Duffels resolution
was that the examination of the Treasurer's
vouchers is duty that properly belongs to the
Finance Committee.
On motion Of Alderman Iarock. seconded by
Alderman GOette it was resolved that the rev.
enues Of the Market, after payment of bill Of
Mr.. F. Leblanc for lumber purchased by the
