COMMITTEE

The Committee on Ordinances, in Tela-
ton to the resolution directing the COM
mittee to report an ordinance amending the
or finance in relation to auctiOneers so as
to furnish better protection to our mer-
chants, reported the mattera as ineXpedient.
In relation to the resolution to regulate
the keeping of cattle, hogs, sheep and
calves within the city, and the resolution
in relation to landing live stock at the
wharf, the committee recommended that q
special committee of three from each
Branch be appointed to visit the various
stock yards and report the condition in
which they are kept.
The Board of Police and Fire Commits
SiOners reported it had collected $3.50 from
the town OF Martins Ferry for services
at the Laughlin mill fire, also S2l from the
natural gas companies. 1t recommended
allowed to the following tiIemen: Charles
Straub, Charles Klevis, Rcbt. Cline, George
Gibson, Henry Schepck, Milton Parker,
Caleb Sylvis, James MCGEE and Paul Por-
ter. Mr., Tracy moved to add $40 X for
Chief Cumming. The motion prevailed
and the recommendation of the committee
was adopted.
The special committee appointed to visit
pittsburg, take note of the methods en-
ployed in laying natural gas pipes, and as
certain what would be a proper gas pres
sure, was read, the substance of it having
been heretofore published. The committee
recommended that the pressure be limited
to fifteen pounds per square inch, and
asked that an ordinance be drawn
up to that effect and reported.
Mr.. Hildreth moved to post
pone the matter until such time rs natural
gas might be introduced into the pipes now
in our streets, in order TO ascertain lust
what pressure would be right and proper.
Mr.. Harrell hoped the matter would not
be postponed. He said the idea of waiting
until the gas was introduced was nonsense.
He proceeded to haul President Finn, of
the Wheeling Gas Company, over the Goals
in the most entertaining manner. He de-
scribed the way some of the men working
for the Manufacturers Company had
thrown dirt aroqnd his store, and said that,
when he yentHred to demonstrate with the
men, one of them said he would fill his
store full, if the boss would pay him."
Mr.. Harrell recited, in a dra-
matte way, how he had seized
a boulder and threatened to bounce it off
the head of a workman, while all the
members looked on and smiled. Mr.. Hill
dreth said MeSsrs. Whitaker, Brockunier.
and other manufacturers desired to be
heard On the matter of pressure, and re-
newed the motion to postpone. Mr.. Cald-
we'll alluded to the persistent attempts
made by the s'friends of procastinationn to
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1886-07-28
THE CREMATORY.

When the resolution, submitted by the
Committee on Health, providing for the
construction of a %crematory, came up, Mr..
George b. Caldwell took the floor in OPP
position TO the scheme. He said the plan
proposed was IN attempt to impose upon
the city an apparatus which would DE
productive of no practical results, and in a
wear or two would be relocated to join the
innumerable multitude Of impracticable
schemes. The furnace, it was true, would
burn up q large quantity of garbage and
filth. but that would not keep from the
river the great mass of corruption put out
by the creek and the sewers of the city.
The plan would only result in 4 large in
crease in the present cost of removing
garbage and night soil, without any cor
responding beneficial result,
DR.. Mccoy combatted the stand taken by
Mr.. Caldwell, showing that his assertions

invited to address Council on the subject,
The Doctor read an exhaustive and able
paper, showing the Importance Of freeing
the river from garbage and night soil, and
the practicability of the furnace system.
DR.. Garrison was followed by Architect c.
p. Hamilton, who delivered u long adj
dress in the course of which he
said he would not guarantee the results OF
his furnace. Mr., Hildreth read Il letter
from Mr.. Smith, in which he offered to
guarantee his furnace to do the re-
quired work. President Swee-
ney next addressed the Branch
at some length, urging that along with the
furnace there should be some provision
made for the use of vaults other than pits
dug in the earth. He also cOntended that
combustion could be attained by natural
gas, better and cheaper than with the re-
generative Smith furnace. He was in
favor of recOmmitting the matter to the
committee, to report a perfected plan. The
