eide a technical question as to the new
ordinances.
Alderman Llambias asked leave to
withdraw from the Ordinance Com

the meetings of the Council regularly,
undertake to carry out the resolution OF
the Council instructing that committee
to report an ordinance increasing the

posed, in open session. and which his
judgment still condemned.

to reorga,Iize the Ordinance Committee,
as well as any other or all the commit
tees if necessary, but Thought all COM

order to authorize him to do 50; where
upon the members present, in order to
relieve the President from his dilemma,
rendered their designations as members
of the several committees. The Presi-
dent thanked them for their prompt
response to the suggestion, if it was a
suggestion, and remarked that he
would not at the present meeting ac-
cept the designations, and thus leave the
Council without any committees, but
would endeavor to have the matter in
shape by the next meeting. Mr.. Liam
bias moved and it was carried, that the
Clerk particularly notify absent men,
bers to attend the next meeting, as it
was of great importance that full
