Lexington avenue. Aid. Zimmerman.
however. said before the meeting COM
menced that the committee were unan-
imouS i'll the opinion that no license

| Aid. Copeland, chairman of the spe-
| cial committee on elections. asked that
| the committee be increased by TWO, adj
| ditional members from each body. The

Comptroller Mccarthy informed the
aldermen that he had found a number
| OF judgments which had been paid and
Satisfactions filed in the comptroller's
office. The non-fling of some of the
satiStactionS in the Office of the clerk of
the district court resulted in some of
the judgments being audited again. In
looking over such matters he found
where a judgment against the city in
favor of jeremiah Il. Murphy had been
paid twice-onee in March, 1890, and
again in February, 1892. The comp

month. The matter was referred to the
committee on public buildings with
power to act.
The health commissioner, owing to
the $4,000 cut in the appropriation for
his department., dispensed with the
| services of an attendant and keeper at
the pest house. Aid. Zimmerman was
