tion of the commissioners. and to take such
action for the interests of the city, in regard
to any change In such estimates that NAV be
proper. and to take into consideration and
inquire into any other matters of expendi

fol, Cumberland county, which may seem to
De lavish, or imprudent. wherein the city of
Portland and its interests are affected, said
committee to report at the next stated meet
Ing OF the city council
The president, Mr.. Strout, thought that
wnlle 1t was proper enough, as a private
right LOT the council. or any of its members
to enquire into the expenditures of the COM
mlssioners, there was a proper officer ap-
pointed to investigate anything that per-
tanned to the public rights, viz. the county
attorney. He therefore did not see the adj
vantage of the order.
Mr.. Rounds said he had spoken with the
he was right. He noticed the county COM
missioners In their report for 1890 had one
item of only four dollars for the expenses of
the sherif's office, and their estimate for 1891
for the same thing was $500, and $500 for
looked into, especially when Portland has to
bear three-ffths of the county tax. He
asked for the SOLICITOR opinion
City Solicitor Larrabee appeared and ex-
planned in terms, similar to President Strout,
what the rights of the council were In the
matter. The order then had passage and
was sent up. The upper board laid 1t on the
table for further consideration and adj
journed. On motion Of Mr.. Rounds a COM
mittee of conference was appointed In this
board consisting Of Messrs. Rounds, Josselyn
and McAleny, to confer with committee to
be appointed by the upper board II that body
should fail to pass the order.
STATED MEETINGS.
MIR. MCGOWAN asked the city solicitors
opinion In regard to the prospect of holding
the meetings of the council on different
nights from those on which the aldermen
met. The solicitor didn't think such action
would BIO legal, as the law contemplates that
all business shall be transacted as speedily
as possible and by changing the night public
business might be so delayed as to work In
jury.
THE BABY CENSUS.
The order relating to taking the baby CEN
sus received considerable discussion, but af-
ter the clerk of the Board of Health ex-
planned matters the order received passage
in concurrence.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The papers from the upper board received
concurrent action.

mates and printing will be found elsewhere.
The presid mt read the list of standing
committees for the year. They will be found

paved with granite blocks, or 2170 $40 square
yards. A good portion of ten streets were
macadamiZed, and six avenues laid out. Dur
Ing 1880 there were 13,040 square yards of
granite block pavements laid on parts of
Congress. Preble. Commercial, Union, Han
over streets, and 2ll2 5-l0 square yards of
asphalt pavement on Congress and Fore

and carried forward. The way was opened
for the city and county to fairly adjust the
matter or the occupancy of the city building.
There were 81, 374.66 in claims against the
city, handed down from former administra-
tions paid In 1889. None remained unpaid

manent work on sewers, and $1,000 collected

this year.
% The street lighting has been increased by
SO arc lights.
The city has been released from all re-
sponsibility to the state for cannon and
arms, and Is no longer engaged in the pow

reduced from 5000 In 1889 to $3.50 in 1891.
The gross city debt was reduced in two

called but they gave us no hope. One Of them
advised the amputation Of one of her fingers. to
which we refused assent Our attention was
called to Hoods Sarsaparila, and we began civ
ing 1t to her. A marked improvement was noticed
after she had taken only one bottle. and bv
continued use Of 1t her recovery was complete.
And she is now, being seven years old. strong and
healthy. The other members of my family have
