Ord Member for Frederikstod's Country
District (Hewjt)soid be agreed in agreat deal
Of what had been said by the last Speaker
(Blackwood) and he would add, thlt whca
working in the Committee, lie was always
under the impression that the Report wouId be
discussed along with and uudor the Budget,
although the report in some respects contains
proposals that are beyond the present Budget
but the bearing Of the proposals could certain
~ not be understood when disconnected from
the Budget; whereas the results arrived at by
the Joint discussion must naturally show thrm-
selves on the framing Of the Memorial. The
Budget is the basis Of the Report, and the
Committee has gone by that he could not sec
how the Report could be discussed except with
the Budget on the Table; if we are to discuss
whether a proposed Ietrenchmcnt in future is
feasible, surely VIZ must have the Budget to
go by. The matter might have been haudled
otherwise, namely, by the Committee introdu
ing Drafts of Ordinances for the future chang
es; but the Council and the Committee did
not want to do that, but preferred leaving it to
the Minister and the Government to propose
Drafts in the direction they saw fit to 60, rs
indicated by the Committee and the Council.
Therefore, to say the least, he found that the
Committee and its Report had been but very
lAIuIA1O1CnCly blSdbcu ny IL 0ONClI IliiCAl ,, tlAI'l
as far as concerns the Governments Letter t.
the Chairman, it contains simply a request to
the Chairman to see that the Members do not
speak in His Excellency's presence Of matters
on which he was not competent, but which are
before the Council in due form. Just because
the Government had laid before us their Draft
of Budget for discussion bat the letter does
not shew up where, in the Colonial Law or the
Rules Of Business, the Government derives or
seeks its authority to make such a request. it
is now the third time that the Committees Re
port is on the Councils Order of Day, and
Members have come up from West End to dis
cuss the Report as it should be discussed, but
we find that request of the Government still
before the Council. He must say that he
blamed the Councils Chairman for not using
the authority Of the Chair and at once deciding
not to entertain the request the Council is
placed in o difficult position to have to decide
the disagreement between the Government
and the Council; the point was one within
the authority of the Chair, and no interference
of the Councils Members should have been
asked. But then again, the least that could
have been expected was, that the Government
would have given some explanation as to how
: the request is based; as it is now, the bare
request is made no explanationt as to how His
Excellency had sought to satisfy himself as to
his authority for interfering with the Councils
Order of Day and the free discussion of the
Councils Members. But the thing is, that no
such authority could ever be advanced, and
therefore there is no just right for interfering
in the manner done, as it is the Councils
Chairman's right and his alone to fix the Order

CITY soloss.

their Executive Chambers Tues
day Night.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
met in regular session Tuesday night,
with full membership present.
! The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved.
The reports of city officers A. L. Rison,
Treasurer; E r. Matthews, Clerk; B. w.
Blake. Street Superintendent; Britain
Franks, Marshal, and n w. Woodbridge,
Engineer and Weigher, for the month of
May were read, and On motion, referred
to the finance committee.
The gas committee submitted the con-
tract which had been drawn by them for
the city with the Huntsville Gas Light
Company, and been signed by the Presi-
dent of said company-the contract is for
ninety street gas lights and its dura-
ton is from April 1891 to April 1898. On
motion the contract was accepted.
A petition signed by seventy-six citi-
zens was read requesting that the lime
stone rocks around the court house be
removed, and that good walk around
the yard about ten feet wide be made of
artificial stone or Iuka gravel and that
curbing be placed around it next to the
streets. A suggestion was also made by
these petitioners that committee from
the Board be appointed to confer with
| the Board of County Commissioners with
the view of having this matter attended
| to and also to have two or more fountains
placed in the court house yard. The
Mayor thereupon appointed Aldermen
Hutcbens, Stegall and VanValkenburg as
a special committee to meet the Board of
County Commissioners at their next
meeting and present the above matters
before them for their consideration.
The question of buying portion Of the
E. M. Thurston lot On East Holmes
street, for the purpose of widening Patton
street, was referred to the street CON-
mittee.
| A petion was read from Mr.. M. Bern
stein, asking that the city extend the
water mains on East Clinton street so
that he could have water connections for
his cottages on that street, was referred
| to the water works committee.
On motion the street committee was
| instructed to examine the sidewalks of
the city and make report at the next
meeting of those needing repairs and i'm
provement.
Three nominations for the position of
