Legislative council was neld yesterday |
afternoon, all members present save Mr.. |
Charles Kney.
" 1t was announced in advance that "thar's |
lots O. business here for us" and so it
proved.
From 23O o'clock to 5:45 o'clock there
was scarcely moment Of stiffness, and
when the reporters in attendance "bal-
anced up" they found memoranda sufIi-
cient for reading matter to fill book
Such bulky reports, however, could not be
considered moment, hence the condens
ing machine was put in operation. Here
is the result
THEY WOULDN'T DISCUSS THEM.
Secretary Pullen opened the session with
an invocation TO the press representatives
and spectators to restrain any desires
which might ever and anon arise in their
breasts to Chip in" the proceedings, after
which fifteen minutes was consumed by
him in reading minutes OF the last meet
ing:
"Are there any objections to the min
utes as read genllemenP inquired the
ruling spirit.
81 move they be approved" put in Col.
Randle, in great haste, lest somebody
make speech on them. Even this failed
TO bar the door, for President MADDEN
l.>s.ss, going to open the ball.
There are some things in there we
p ought to talk about" said he, and pro-
ceedcd upon one OF them. He had been
instructed at the last Council meeting to
see Mr.. James Maydwell with reference
TO the lot on Adams street adjoining the
station house. Helreported that he had
sent note TO the gentleman asking bin
to come up and discuss the proposition.
Nothing had been heard from HIM, and
the only thing now to be done was to in
struct the attorney to proceed for q con-
domination OF the lot. The attorney will
at once proceed according to latest i'm
proved methods.
