A regular meeting OF the City Coun-
ell was held last night, President FarTa
In the chair.
Mr.. Magec from the Law Committee,
reported that the committee met with
the Water Commissioners as per re-
quest, and consulted In reference to n
bill to be sent to the Legislature re-
quirlng notice to be given In cases OF
suits against the city.
The report was adopted,
Mr.. White. from the Police Commit
tee, reported the cost of laying n
cable across the Christiana at Third
street bridge, and moved that one-half
the cost, $751; be charged to the appro-
priation for fire companies, as the fire
department had the use of tho cable
aua-was as much benefited by 1t as
the Police Committee.
This brought MIR. Sharkey. chairman
of the Fire Committee, to his feet
with speech against the proposition,
as the fire department could get along
without the cable.
Z MIR. White said the fire department
would save $50 by the new cable, as it
had been paying that amount for the
rent of cable
Mr.. Sharkey still thought that his
appropriation would not stand the
strain, as there might be cyclone
that would blow down the poles and
the wires.
Mr.. McKenney camo to the aid OF
Mr.. White, referring TO the great ex-
pense OF his department, and he
thought that Mr.. Sharkey'S appropria-
tion could stand that much and have
considerable to spare.
Mr.. Baugh, too, thought that Mr..
Sbarley could afford to be generous,
MS his appropriation Is sure TO hold
out.
Mr. whito's motion prevailed, Mr..
Sharkey alone voting against it.
Mr.. Curren, from tho printing com
mittee, reported adversely on the pc
tition OF the Sunday Republic Print
ing Company for additional pay for
work, and the report WIS adopted. The
committee also reported adversely on
the bill of the same company for
$3.50. Mr.. Curren, the chairman,
stated that the paper had not been
authorized to do the work for which
the bill was rendered. Tho report was
adopted.
The city treasurer reported the bal
nnce in bank to current expenses to be
