MANY CITY HALL IT EIiNdS LISTED
 FOR THIS WEEK.
 Winding Up tho Business of the Year Aldermen to Meet Tonight and Council men, Police and Fiie Commissioners, selectmen and Board of Health To-mor- row Evening.
 The close of the year always brings increased business in municipal matters and the present year will prove no eX- ception to this invariable rule, During the present week municipal meetings are listed for every evening and for several of the evenings a number of meetings are arranged. The week will prove an unsuually busy one for the members of the city government, and 1t is probable that in view of the vast amount of business to be completed several extra meetings will also have to be held next week.
 Tonight a. special meeting of the pOdIu Ol dlQClIHtIl MlIl bC llIlo GU NiASit time an attempt will be made to com- plete the regular unfinished business of the year and also to consider the es- timated expenses and income of the city for the coming year. It is also eS pected that at this meeting City Audi tor Brown will submit his annual state ment of the income and expenditures of the several departments of the city government for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1895.
 Among the unfinished business to be brought up and acted upon will be the hack ordinance and the ordinance re- lating to the sprinkling of the streets of the city. In reference to the hack ordinance Alderman Bromley will in troduce an amendment to the report of the committee regulating the action of lackmen at the Union station and will also introduce a resolution prohibiting the use of Latin words in the records of the court of common council. Fur ther action on the proposed ordinance relating to,street sprin11ling, which was
  aldermen that, as a member of the board expressed it. "its own father wouldn't recognize it." may be deferred until another special meeting of the board to be called later, in order to give the members of the board of cour- cilmen an opportunity to decide wheth- CT or not they will accept the ordinance as amended.
 Tomorrow night will be the banner night of the week for municipal meet ings. On that evening will be held a special meeting of the board of coun- clmen called for the purpose of consid- ering the estimates of the city for .ne present fiscal years. There is, however, considerable unfinished business on tho table of this branch of the city govern ment, and consequently it is among the probabilities that the matter OF estl- mates may not be reached tomorrow night after all.
 The police commissioners also have meeting listed for tomorrow night and already there is so much business to come before them that it is possible that they may not be able to complete it, but may also be compelled to call an- other meeting lOl- SOlilc cNCHiu9 leIct in the week. Among the business to be transacted is the hearing of the charges brought against Patrolman L. D. Bixby by the hackmen at the depot, and judg- ing from the number of citizens who have expressed their intention of being present and heard in relation to this case, it is quite probable that the hear ing will be unusually lengthy. Patrol man Donegan will also be brought be- fore the board to explain his alleged connection with a meat market in di- rect violation of the rules of the depart ment.
 The other meetings listed for to-mor- row night are board of selectmen, fire commissioners, board of health and i- brary directors, while on Wednesday evening the board of public works will hold a specially interesting session and there will also be meetings of several of the joint standing committees of the court of common council.
