MI Egep4 afserSsrds introduced reso-
| luton to take each alternate light from
I Kirg strset and to have them distributed
elsewhere, and the resolution was referred.
When the street commiues's reportsin 70.
vor Of an extension Of the tan yard sewer TO
bayoud Franklin street came In from the Al
dermen.
Mr. Flsher said the Second ward had been
trying for more than ten years to get an ab.
scluteIy necessary sewer from Princess to
Oronooo street. The members OF the Sec.
ond ward wait betl sewers In one bill at
leest to the extent OF the one gqusre sug.
gested, and they were not prepared to see
any work done unless there was on under
standing that the other work should also be
done.
MIR. Snowden-Mr. Uhler in the chair
regretted that 1t was now announced by the
member from the Second ward THAT the pro-
not be eupportsd by his colleagues unless
there was some log.rolling end ryder for
sewer In the Second ward. The First
ward received the draining of the Third
aud often Fourth ward from the end OF 90
incompleteG sewer. AS t the Second ward
matter there was nothing there now that
bad been there for hundred year5. In the
Fret ward it was q question OF health. The
gentleman bad had the City Coupoll indicted
as to the alleged unhea t1iness caused By the
marsh. Sc, but the jury had thrown out the
bill. Let this bill pass without ryder on liz
mer t., snd thon he was prepared to support
on its merits the sewer 10 the Second ward.
Dir. Davis hoped that there would be no
amendments tackled on to this bill which
was for q work well considered and sbeolu,t-
~ necessary. When the Second ward SO p
or matt ,r was again taken In hand II honld
be on CD extended scale so ss to clear the
way along Pendltt,o street as we'll as other
s;reets.
Mr.. Fisher agreed w;t1 the chat, that this
VISA question of heslth and not merely OF
Improvement. 1t YVES true Q had had the
ty Connect Indicted, bat when the jurors
visited The place 1T Prlncess str. ct, SUIT.
Dobie hsd cleared away the filth and no b.
iop was found. he did nst desire to have
the 81 ward sewer after d I'd t, until Tire
ward sewer was completed, bat Tart both
agreed en-.
Mr. Snowden suggested that as Mr. Fish.
er had said thet his amendment would net
expedite the 81 ward sever, he should with
draw his amendment and let the matters
coma up separately.
Mr.. Evans said hat the bill that came In
from tae dermen YVES beyond the stage Of
amendment.
Mr.. Fisher ssd the paper bafors Counoll
wes rot dill bat petition with fsvcrA-
bic report. Mr.. f. continuing, explained
that there was no ordinance yet before
Council sad his only obi ,ct YVES to give The
l ward its sewer on condition thai the 81
"a sewer should be afterwards made.
The chair ruled thst the adoption of the
repol t directs the coUm!lt,e on sire: t t.
construct the cover ir the 1t ward and that
he city wonld be boncd by this action. He
had no doubt the Courts would sustsin that
view.
Mr.. Fisher-I presume t1as the courts
would compel tie ct7 - pay 100000 II
bills ID that amount be cor trscted, tui to 90
or 9Th the mater without an ordinance
Rould he very locse say OF doing tu3,-
usss.
The chair asked tht Nr. Fishers ame0d-
zee. be reduced TO writing,
While tho preparation OF this amendment
wss 10 progress the chair presented reso-
lu,ion that the committee on streets report
| as eaI.F as practicable the oost OF cor9,rlct-
ing o seser from Royal and Ptlncags & reefs
TO Faiifs< and 2eadie;on OF u tbe river.
Mr. SrIder wae 10 favor cf the Fret ward
sewer bt had never heard of work OF the
kind teiog done without an ordinance.
The chair said he sssumsd an ordinance
would he prepared by the committee on
streets,
Mr.. Davis exp!ained that en- ordinance
Tor specifications e.. would be prepared
jast SO was done 10 reference to the sams
sewer In the Fourth wand
MI Fisher essoi that ne resolution Of
fered by Mr.. Snowden be amended 60 as to
require report within month, and this
was dona.
Mr.. Fishers amendment providing for
the construction o! the Second ward
sewer vas lest enc the report of
the COM miitee ordering the First ward
sewer TO be built was adopted, as wac
ESQ the resolution directing toe oommI t,s
TO report as to the cost OF tne Second ward

After discussion en- the method Of cff,r-
ing the American coal wharf for rent, 1t vas
sgreed to advertise the same for e t n years
