While the Aldermen we're standing
around the lobby converting, st the epen-
ing OF the Council last night bat they
hustled 10 their seats and al answered 70
their names except Counciimen Hayward
and Pantlind. and these slipped down into
their chairs before the first order Of bnsi-
ness was closed.
The reason OF their eeleriiy was apparent
upon the reading Of the first oommuniea-
tor. which wss as follows.
"Gentlemen Of the Common Council.

main awhile. and whereas. my father is a
member Of your honorable b0iy aud is the
cause of my coming 10 your city therefore
I be IL resolved that each and every one Of
! You and the reporters take q smoke on my

BABY DE6RAkF"
The cigars were passed ana unanimously
adopted.
Communications being ia order. one from
| Adclph b. Brown asking for the remission
Of interest upon the payment o. tbe face OF
MS assessment Oh iois p and IS. J. AldricA
| Smiths addition, was referred 10 the COM
| mittee on ways and means.
| James D. Mckay asked the appoin intmsnt
a. iaEitor for the City Hall and his appl.-
cation was signed oy C. 4. Be.knap and
| fourteen others. This. together with one
| frsm Albert d. Farling. wss referred 10 the
| COMMITTEES on Public Buildings.
| A remonstrance against the grade Of
| Thomas-st, from Z. p. Duneran aud six
teen others. was referred back, and then the
Controller sent in several bills and accounts,
which were allowed TO the amount Of
| S. 507 Is. Also accounts from the Poor
master. interest on water works bonds. etc.
Then George ". Tnayer. President of the
/ Board of Public Works. arose aud said: The
! discussion OF last week ia the COUacil tend
ed 10 reflect upon the Official duties of the
! Board and they ought 10 know what they
are talking ABOUT There has been q matter
| which has occupied your atteation for seme
/ time. a loHg, narrow strip Of ground was
| bought near the cemetery for city hos
| pital for contagious diseases. and plans were
prepared for building. Ii was thought to
| be suitably located. isolated, etc. The Csun-
| Gil had no authority TO couple the Board of
| Health with the Board OF Public Works la
this matter, because IL remains with the lat
l ter body by law. We should probably have
| consulted with them anyway. We waived
| this, however, and advised the Board TO 20
| ahead ano prepare plans and specifications,
and if they met the approval of the Board of
Public Works it would be all right. Now.
| in the first place. the building has besn
| placed in different location. Beafer the street
and nearer TO residences. The plans we're
| prepared and approved wholly by the Board
OF Health, and then they were submitted
| TO the Board OF Public Works. The build
ing was constructed according TO these
plans, and II there is anything lacking or
anything wrong. it is not tie fault Of the
BoErd OF Public Works ! say this TO ahow
that the Board of Public Works had not
been derelict, and 90 not deserve criticism.
Alderman Launiere denied on the part q.
the Council any desire to criticise the Board
/; was supposed that the two boards would
work together. The reports and estimates
came from the Board OF Health, ana if there
is any criticism it must bave been on tie
part Of that noir. The Council surely had
no desire 10 blame or criticise.
This matter was passed over without O C.
ton or farther comment until subsequently,
under the head OF unfinished business the
Board OF Health presented their report OF
estimates for the additions and improve
ments asked for. They comprised $3.50 for
furnace registers and Ventiist0rs. $50 for .
range, $6055 Tor furniture $i5 for csrper-
ter work. S60.35 fer bedding. etc. and $40
for painting-s7O9 In all. The items were
