Council Proceedings.

The Mayer, Solicitor and three faithful Coun-
cilmen sat in the council chamber Monday night
and measured the time tick of the little clock on
the mantel. as it faithfully registered second at
ter second to be entered against the other three
municipal fathers whose absence effectually
blocked the wheels of city legislation. His
Honor, an ardent believer in the methods of
Speaker Reed, in vain evolved scheme after
scheme from his fertile brain, that would enable
him to see quorum but there was only
one Democrat in the room, and he wicked
newspaper man, sent there to chronicle the
honorable body's acts of omission and commits
sion, he was fain to beguie the weary minutes
in discussions with the three brethren present
over pending city legislation, and their opinions
had crystalized into a form of quasi enactments
that needed only the fiction before mentioned
to stamp them with the impress of legality when
t. F. Thompson, the most welcome man that
could cross the threshold put in an appearance,
and there was serious talk of pensionipg him for
lie, from the surplus in the corporation fnnd !;
but he nobly refused any recognition of his saw
ing act, and Council at last got down to business
IN the old fashioned way.
lhe pay ordinance was passed under a sus-
pension of the rules, and the usual report of
the fire department. with the exception that it
recorded the Jail fire was read and accepted.
The report failed to censure the fremen for
their dereliction of duty at the time of this con-
flagration, as published by some of our rural
cotemporaries-so the boys may now breathe
easy. The report further said that the cause
and damage were unknown.
The Waterworks report was then read show
ing balance January I, of S443.84 January
rents. Sa23 81. Total receipts, including bal
ance So67.81; Disbursements, S237 AZ. Bal
ance on hand February I, $4,000.
This part of the report was accepted, and ac-
ton on the balance was postponed until some
future time, and Mr.. Merits authorized in the
meantime to confer with Trustees respecting the
matter. The Trustees called attention in the
report to certain extensions of the water mains
desirable to be made on Mill street from King
to Madison street, on Lake from Prospect wes
| to the Strawboard Works, and on Page from
residence of w. Miller south to Harris street
The total estimated cost of the same is S22oo' o'5o
but as s. 900 of the $40 900 additional issue o
waterworks bonds fall due next Summer, it viii
be impossible to pay for the additional main.
from this source for at least five years, as S2ooc
of the 5000 fall due yearly after next Summe
until the entire debt is paid. The corporation
funds are not in condition at present to warran
the expenditure, and just what will be done, re
mains to be seen.
