Afternoon Session.

Mr.. Picket hoped the matter would moi
be referred. The matter had been very
fully investigated by every member OF the
Board, it was fully understood and if mem
bers had not the manhood to face the cues,
ton and vote upon it, he, for one, was op
posed to shielding them BY any further post,
ponement. The action of certain members
seemed ike child's play, and he hoped TIT
policy Of delay would obtain no further.
Mr.. Maxwell took the floor, and
DENOUNCED THE MOVING NATTER
in very vigorous terms. 1t was always
brought forward that the city paid most Of
the taxes. he did not care a curse" if the
city did. 1t was an imposition to shove Of
an old building on the county, and ONE
which would at once require a large outlay
for repairs. The building sought to be sad
died eff on the county was an old shell, bull
for a purpose, and now that that purpose
had been served, the city sought to shove ii
off upon the county. He hoped the county
would not 90 into the business of altering
and repairing old houses, but, if she wantec
new buildings, to build them new and prop
cry arranged.
MIR. Boring was sstonished at the s:ste
mel OF Mr.. Maxwell that the .ZUSth halt O.
the building was AN old smell" 1t al as
substantial IS any house in the city.
Mr. Maxwell said 1t was q strange thing
that some Of tie men who at first were bit
terly opposed to the transfer, were nov tt
be found in its favor.
Mr.. Boring said a wise man sometimes
changed his opinion, but a fool never did
MIR. Picket made some
VERY %vIGoRoU RENAREs
in opposition to ~postponement, to which
Mr.. Woods replied in kind, Directing to Mr.
Pickett's indirect attempt to bulldoze GER
tain members of the Board. Insinuations
such as he had listened to were out Of place,
and should have no effect on members.
Mr. StoLer said the Capitol would not ruD
of for a month, and he hoped it would b.
postponed.
Mr.. Peterson aaid he was willing for add
tiopal delay, if it would result in any gooc
o the county. He took the opportunity o.
referring to the criticisms of NJ. MAXWELL Oh
the building, and ssid they could not b.
substaptiated. IfMr. Maxwell would selec
a committee of builders and substantial
his statements, he would vote with him ii
opposition to the proposed move.
The motion to delay wss then carried, al
voting aye except Mr.. Picket.
