mended that the bid OF Messrs. Ewing
Melvin 4 Riley for revising and compil.
ing tho city ordinances at $1,000 be &C.
cepted. Mr.. O'kanc took exception tc
the report, and thought it should he
referred back to the committee. Mr.
Maxwell defended the action OF the
committee and explained the matter O.
the committee referring the bids back t
the bidders for correction and explana
ton. Alter further statement Of the
case from Mr.. Dillingham;, the suggestion
| Of the committee was adopted. In the
First Branch the action OF the Second
was not concurred in, aud tho matter
was referred back to the committee witt
instructions to advertise again for bids
The Board OF Public Works reported
as follows: In view OF the contemplated
improvements in the way OF street pay
ing we deem it advisable for the Board
Of Public Works to furnish tar to the
contractors for brick paving, believing
that it will be to the best interests Of
| the city so to do, as much better Job O
paving will be done; contractors to bic
accordingly. We would therefore re-
specially request your honorable body
to appoint three members from youl
body to act in conjunction with the CITY
Gas Trustees and the Board OF Public
Works with view of securing the tai
for street paving at price to be agreed
upon. 2.E
The recommendation ofthe Board was
received by both branches. The com
mittee was not, however, appointed.
The Committee on Real Estate report
ed that it had purchased the property Of
William Kennedy, needed in straighten.
ing Caldwells run, and also resolution
giving them permission to sell the part
OF the property not needed, at auction
The report was received and the resolu.
ton adopted.
The ordinance providing for letting
the garbage collecting contract to one re.
liable bidder, which was presented at the
last meeting and laid over under the
rules, and ordered printed, was taken
up in the Second Branch for amendment
and debate. Mr.. Bailey amended several
lines in the first section by making all
references to the contractor plural 80
that it should provide for more than one
contractor. Mr.. Bailey expressed him
self in favor OF eight contractors, one for
each ward. Mr.. Maxwell defended the
ordinance as presented, as did also
Messrs. O'kane and Drandfass. The
amendment was lost. Mr.. Warneke
moved to amend the first section 30 that
the contract would DO let for two years
instead OF one. He explained that the
expense incurred by Il contractor in pre-
pairing to fulfill the contranct would be
us great for one as for two years, and
that by making the contract for two
years the work could be done cheaper to
the city. The amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Cruise then took the floor and spoke
against passing the ordinance as amend
ed, for the reason that it cuts all poor
men out OF q chance to bid on the Job.
He said that by paying a living price to
several contractors the work could be
done as well and as cheaply as to let it to
one man. -,atgg - q. ,=,.s.l
Mr.. Dawson offered a substitute to
the entire ordinance as follows:
"Resolrei, That the Board OF Public
Works be instructed to buy all necessary
horses and carts, and hire sufficient men
to collect the garbage and otlal in con-
formity to existing ordinances"
Mr.. Cruise then moved to refer the or.
dinancs back to the Committee on
Health, with instructions to draft new
ordinance in conformity with the in.
strcutions recently given them by resc-
luton calling for an ordinance paying
for garbage hauling by the load. IL y
T, Mr.. Dawson asked permission from
the Chairman (Mr. Brandiass) to ask
question. Mr.. Brandfass declared Mr..
Dawson out Of order and refused to
recognize him, whereupon those gentle.
men INDUCED in lively tilt as to the
correctness OF Mr.. Brandfass' ruling.
Mr.. Gruse's motion was carried on an
aye and nay vote. rs 75i7'
