This is certainly a good showing for the
city's health. The number of deaths in
September, 1885, was 43, sixteen more than
last month or, at the rate of about one to
one thousand, and some of those were the
result Of accident. Whether the cleanly
condition of the sewers, streets and alleys
has anything to do with this or not, it will
rebound in ameasure to the credit of the
Health Officer, whose ever yigilant eve and
sensitive olfactory nerves are constantly on
the alert. The interments for September
were made as follows City Cemetery, IS;

Mrs. VIM. NJ. Lyon objected to the mode
of assessment for the improvement of 7
street, from Second to Third, and asked for
a day to be set apart for the hearing of such
objections.
A majority of the property-owners in the
block between L and NJ, Third and Fourth
streets, demonstrate to the proposed i'm
proyement, the construction of a %vitriied
iron-stone sewer-pipe in the alley.
A. Meiss was awarded the contract for

A. S. Hopkins and i. L. Lewis, repre-.
sentiug the Board of Trade, appeared before
the Board and presented the report of the
special committee upon the city bonds,
which was published in the REcoRD-UNIoN
q few days since. The report referred to
recommends and asks that the Board OF
Trustees dismiss the appeal now pending
in the Supreme Court. the object OF
which appeal is to obtain a decis-
ion that the Funded Debt Commission
is an unconstitutional body. Messrs. Hop
kins and Lewis urged the ad~visability of
dismissing the appeal, and argued against
a compromise with the b~ondholders upon
the basis which has been already pub
lished, believing it would not be for the
city's interest to do so.
MaVOr Brown rpnlipd very firmly auoinst
the proposed dismissal of the appeal, and
sharply criticised the method of handling
the city Indebtedness through the opera
tons of the Bond Commissioners. 1t is
evident that the Trustees will not recede
from their position to kill the Bond Com
mission if in their power. and whatever
action the Board of Trade thinks proper to
take in the premises, ii may as well pro-
coed to without delay.
