THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
Appeal From Tide Land Appraisement
Feeding of Prisoners.

Feeding of Prisoners.
In the house of delegates move toward
the settlement OF the appeal against the
appraisement of the tide lands was made
by the passage of a concurrent resolution
providing:
THAT tie corporation counsel be re-
auested to obtain. if it is possible. the adj
vancement of the case of the appeal OF
freeholders from appraisal of local board,
w. T. Scott. VS.. W. T. Forrest, a. j. Chad
wick and Erastus Brainerd, state land
commissioners. that the complete settle
ment may be had at the earliest possible
day
CORPORATION Counsel Scott was called up
on to explain what had been done in the
matter He said his attention had not
been called TO the appeal until day or
two ago when he insisted on W. +.
HAYS, attorney for several freeholders,
filing an appeal to the supreme court.
This was TO facilitate matters. If the SUI
preme court decides that it has no Juris-
diction in the case. as did the superior
court. the matter will end there. he or
dered a transcript sent to the supreme
court and will do all possible to push the
case through. 1856
The ordinance amending the health ordl-
nance furnished James an opportunity TO
express his views OF the daily papers.
The ordinance was read again for the BEN
eft of several members, who misc0nstrued
the meaning of the section relating TO the
quarantine. and thought IT meant that any
one could enter and depart from the in
fected houses but the patients. 1t was
shown that the only ones allowed to enter
and depart were the physicians and quar-
antine officers. The ordinance was amend
ed To make the penalty 81 to $50 fine, or
not over twenty days Imprisonment, or
both. and was then passed.
The question of contracts for feeding
prisoners came mp on the report OF the
subcommittee on finance. stating that it
could find no contract now in force for
such purpose other than the one entered
into by the city some time in December,
1893 with Harry Watson and Alice Wat
SON at Is cents a meal. watson borrowed
some 81 900 from Krug, and the contract
was let to Watson at that price although
a number of bids were received al dliter-
ent times as low as 10 cents. President
Crichton said ne understood that the
money received by Watson for the meals
was being paid regularly TO the bondsmen
OF Krug.
During the discussion the joint resolu-
ton passed by the board Of aldermen. in
structing the hoard of public works to adj
vertfse for bids was brought in, ana II
was passed,

mort. which was adopted, recommending
