Mr.. Leadbcater moved that the mat
Ter be discussed in a Joint meeting OF
both boards.
Mr. Goodrich thought that a matter
50 important as this should be referred
10 = special committee Of two from each
board and when returned discussed in
Joint session after the arrangements
had been made.
Mr.. BRYANT asked why the matter
should not be referred 10 the committee
On streets.
Mr.. Goodrich said he had no obiec-
ton 10 That course but some gentlemen
preferred special committee on the
subject.
Mr.. Burke said that the committee on
Streets WAS evidently the proper com
m,tce To consider the matter as they
knew all about paving. &c.
Mr.. Leadbcatcr was opposed to delay
as the railroad company was ready to
commence paving.
lIcssrS. Goodrich and Lindsay only
voted for Mr.. Goodrich's resolution and
it WAS lost.
The motion to ask the Common
Council to assemble in joint meeting
was carried and after the intervention
l>omc other business the time became
so late that on Mr.. Leadbeater's motion
The subject was postponed until spe-
cal meeting to be held tonight.
