me. Mark Costello and myself had been
intimate and close friends for number of
years. and | feel that | would neglect
sacred duty did not AT his time express i'll
a few WORDS my deep feeling, and add my
voice in honoring the memory of the dead.
and in expressing my sympathy with. and
confidence toward. those upon whom the
blow falls with such crushing weight.
One after another our friends pass from
life. and the images of those loved and de-
parted ones engrayen on our hearts almost
outnumber those of the living. Their treas
ured memories crowd upon US with bright
jewels of thought of them. My friend-our
friend-Mark Costello left an envlable record
as good citizen and as mali OF unques-
tlonable integrity. lie has passed the bourne
we soon shall pass. OF him it may be truly
said that he was one who kept the noiseless
tenor of his way along the quiet
Paths OF Homely Life.
BEHIND him he leaves incense of good
deeds and acts of UnOstentatiouS charity,
which fills our sous with the hope that
when we pass from life as much may be said
of us.
The warm heart that throbbed for others
woes has ceased to beat. | need not attempt
to say more of the life of our deceased
friend, or or his character as citizen.
These most of you know. His life was filled
with generous and noble impulses for his
fellow man. Asa friend, he was constant,
warm, devoted and true. \ good. honorable
man himself, he tifdeavored TO make those
who came incontact with him good by his
example. He stood for the right aud de-
nounced the wrong.
Mr. President cannot better close this
feeble tribute TO the memory of my dear de-
parted friend than by wishing for you and
TOR us all that our last end may be like his.
Peace to his ashes.
The resolution was then adopted by
standing vote.
Mr.. Robb introduced resolution pro-
vldng that
All the Policemen
who did not receive their salaries for
several months, because of the delay Of
the assembly in confirming them, be
paid what is due them. Mr. Robb called
the attention of the assembly to the
recent decision of Judge Kerr, in the
case OF ex- Policemen York, who, accord
ing to the court, was not entitled to any
salary for the time he did not perform
actual service for tne city.
Nil Arosin doubted whether any of
this years police fund could be used TO
pay for services rendered last year.
City Attorney Chamberlain was not
prepared 10 answer this question, but
he thought that the council could pay
the policemen who have done sthe work
if il saw hi.
Attorney Mcdonald said few words
ill behalf Of the policemen, and urged
the assembly TO take SUCH action as
would result in their being speedily
paid. The resolution was then adopted
by vote OF S to l, Mr.. Arosin
voting no." taking the ground that the
resolution was illegal.
Mr.. johnson introduced a RESOLUTION
veSting supervision of the garbage con-
tract in the joint special conimittee nm
garbage. The resolution was adonted
wherenpon MIR. johnson followed with
another resolution authorizing the garh-
age committee to employ an inspector
10 ascertain how the garbage contractor
is performing his work, the salary Of
such Inspector not TO exceed $50
month. This resolution was referred to
the committee on garbage, as it was
thought best to more fully discuss it
before taking action.
The adverse report of the license
committee recommending that the
ordinance do not pass allowing
any person to obtain by paying
S25 TO the city treasurer license
to remove night soil provoked some dis
cussion. In the course of it Mr.. Rear
don criticised the health department for
giving Isaac A. Grant a monopoly in
the collection and removal Of night soil.
Both Mr.. Reardon and Mr.. Lewis
favored the ordinance, but Mr.. Van
Slyke opposed it for the reason that it
would be the means of giving licenses
to irresponsible people who would
dump the night soil In all conceivable
places. Mr.. Reardon moved that the
report and ordinance be referred back
to the committee Oh license, and by a
vote of seven TO two 1t was SO referred.
The pedd!ers' ordinance was also adj
versely reported by the committee on
license, and was referred back to the
committee, who will consider some
amendments added by MIR. Strouse.
