Mr.. hardy had acknowledged that
mistake mad been made, but he thought
that he had been sufficiently punished.

thought there had been some stretcbin@
OF conscience on both sides

MARKET ORDINANCE.
Kent reported that the committee. who
had been trying TO find suitable place
for q market, therefore recommended
the passage Of the market ordinance.
Devine said the committee had not been
able to find a suitable place, but he did
not recommend the passage of the ordi-
nance. lHSt6 IS u marx ct now 1
street, where hay and wood are sold,
G. Z. Massey argued in favor of the or
dinance, as he said that people from the
country brought their wood in here for
sale in the winter time.
G. l.. Adams also argued in favor of it.
He thought, however that if parties sell
hay and wood on l street the farmers
should have the same privilege of selling
there also.
Devine favored allowing the farmers of
the county to sell hay and wood on |
street, and putting them on an equality
with those who come over from Yolo
County and sell their loads down town.
He moved that the ordinance be
amended making the market place on
L street, from Sixth to Front.
Tozer = moved TO amend by laying it
over tor week, but the amendment was
lost, and, after some discussion, on De-
vines motion it was referred to the Cor
poration Counsel in order that the proper
amendments be made.
Kent reported that Supervisor Curtis
had offered Sl5 for some old posts on the
1-street levee, and he recommended that
they be sold To him for that amount. 1t
was so ordered.
a LITTLE BREEZE.
Davis moved that the clerk be instruct
Ell TO advertise for bids for running the
Ystreet pump for six months.
Pennish raised the point of order that
reading of bills was the order of business.
and the Chairman ruled the point well
taken.
BESIDES" said Pennish, "hc is going
outside of his place and has nothing 10 do
with it,"
Well" retorted Davis, lyon don't at
tend to your business, and if you u ont
Pll look after it myself"
well, Pm not such a blockhead as

of the bills proceeded.

A communication was read from NJ K
Miller of Oakland, claiming the second
prize on the sewerage plans, and that the
Newbery plan was not properly in COM

The first and second prizes.

the former allowance.

row night at O'Clock, and the motion
was defeated.

The board would have to ultimately pass
on the matter after Leonard made his re-
port. He thought the 500 allowance
should be made.
Leonard went over the ground and said
that he considered the bill for 500 to be a
just one.

money away To pay experts bills.

vine moved that the total compensation
of Mr.. Stoddard be liked at $50, and the
amendment was lost.
