tallow and boil soap; also q recommen-
dation favoring James NJ. Conrad ior
the garbage contract, Mr.. Murphy hay
ing by an explanation that his bid of
$500 was only for one year, forfeited
the committees recommendation.
Mr.. O'kane moved to adopt the reso-
luton resembling Elders permission to
conduct 4 soap factory. Mr.. Dawson
spoke against the motion. Mr.. Maxwell
agreed with Mr.. Dawson that Mr.. Elder
has not been granted enough time. Mr..

Mr.. DAWSON was OF tho opinion that
the bid vas teo low for the contractor TO
do the work properly.
Mr. Cruise called Mr.. Ellingham to the
chair and spoke against the motion,
takine;the ground that Mr.. Conrad can.
not do the work at the price. He said
he never knew Council to refuse to re.
init a mans fines when lie made a
poor mouth, and he felt sure the con.
tract would be thrown up some time
early in the summer. Mr.. Cruise was in
favor OF referring the matter back to
the committee with instruction to select
some bidding at q higher rate,
Mr.. Bailey drew an illustration from
the experience OF the Real Estate Com.
mittee to show that it does not nay to
accept low bids when they are too low to
allow tho work 10 be done properly.
MIR. Bailey then moved to amend by ia.
sorting the name Of Lawrence Clark, at
his bid Of S., 0o5 per year.
Mr.. Maxwell said he had learned that
the man whose name was proposed, Mr.
Conrad, had been gathering the garbage
in the Seventh ward, and he did not want
any more SUCH service, hence he moved
to refer back to the committee.

read. After Clerk Thoner read them nil.

they want 10 be reelected or 10 run for
some other office. Mr.. lIarrell's re-.
marks reached down into the darksome
