| VARIOUS MATTERS.
The Clerk started to read the ordi-
nance prepared by the Board of Health
| for the regulation of sanitary plumb
ing
| Kent asked by whom it was prepared,
| and on being told it was by the Board of
Health, he moved that it be laid over for
| week, but other members of board
said that it ought to be read and
|
| at least know what it contained, and
whether it was good or bad.
| 1t was read and proved to be a very
| long one. Tozer said that he thought it
had been carefully drawn, and that the
attention of the plumbers should be
drawn to it and they be invited to criti-
| else it, and that for that purpose it be
laid over for a week. The motion was
carried.
Tozer said that no action had been
taken by the committee appointed to
consider proposed amendments to the
charter
Devine, who was Chairman of the
committee, said that he was ready to
| meet at any time and consider such
amendments as We're suggested, and he
thought when they got through there
would be no more clashes of authority
between the different departments
No" said Pennish, but you will find
clash in your committee, though"
Kent offered a resolution that the
teams employed by the Street Superin-
tendent on the streets be changed once a
month He said that the intention was
that a man receiving $3.50 a month from
the State for enjoying himself Quail
hunting should give some of the men
who were starving a chance.
Mckay moved to lay the matter over
| a week till he could investigate the
| boards authority.
IA Tozer said that members talked about
public pap" and he moved to amend
| so that the Street Superintendent
| should advertise for bids for teams, as
the city pays more for teams than any
| one else does.
| Kent said 81 a day was little enough
| for teams for the eight hours work.
The matter went over for a week.

| the board had pledged itself to use the
