In Common Council.
Absent, Mr.. Higgins.
The records were read and approved
Mr.. McGlaufin offered petition for the
removal of the pest house, which was re-
feIred and sent up.
When the order was presented to adver-
tise the city gas stock Mr.. Crockett asked
the purport of the order. Mr.. Hill said it
was simply TO try the market. The presi-
dent said he was ON the committee Of finance
last year and did not see the propriety of a
SALE Mr.. Tompson thought thai right to
reject bids carried the corresponding author
ity to receive bids, and he thought such an
authority dangerous to grant TO a committee.
Mr.. Floyd considered the wording of the or
der the same as that of any other bona fde
bill of sale. He thought before we author
lied the advertisement we should consider
the adyisability OF selling the stock. He
said the committee on the Mayors address
are adverse TO that part relating to the city
gas stock. He thought this was an adver-
tisement in good faith. Mr.. Crockett agreed
with the gentleman from One, and
moved the amendment OF the order by in
serting the word Council" after "City," in
the next to the last line. Mr.. True thought
any one reading the advertisement would
consider that the city was ready to sell and
he thought we should first decide whether
we wanted to sell or not He asked the
president II the old committee on finance
got price. The president said there was
no advertisement, but it was understood 200
per cent. of its face value could be obtained
1t is 10 per cent stock. The majority of
the old committee voted not to sell. The Or
der, with Mr.. Crockett's amendment, had a
unanimous passage.

TO be In entire ignorance OF such rich
Democrats As William l.. Scott, Chair
man Brloe and Benjamin 7. Biggp, the
