sheraton Of the railroad bill, the lobby OF
the council chamber was crowded by inter
ested spectators, among them several we'll

been quite generally understood that an
effort had been made by the railroad and ele-
yator corporations either to defeat the bill or

operations When the council considered the
bill in committee of the whole, the matter OF
deciding upon the amount of salary OF the
commissioners TO be appointed under its
provisions was passed over. To-day the
amount was liked at 81, 900 per annum. Mr..
Richardson offered the following amendment
