THE GARBAGE CONTRACT.

The report of the Health Committee,
awarding the garbage contract TO
Charles Becker, at his bid of $780,
was taken up, and Mr. Elliott moved
TO adopt.
Mr.. Wills said he was opposed to
paying at. least S1,700 more for this
work than other bidders had offered to
co it fof. Some bidders were fully as
responsible and capable as MIR. Becker,
previous records Notwithstanding, and
when low bidders came With equal
means, equal backing and equal bonds
and offered to do the work at figure
lower than Mr.. Becker, Council had no
authority to waste the money of the
people. He moved TO strike out the bid
of Charles Becker, at S11 300, and insert
II. p. Jennings, at $1,000.
Mr.. Britt thought all the bidders
should have equal recognition, and
when the Committee recommended the
highest bidder they did not accord that
equal right. He thought all the men
were good, and that any of them could
give q good bond, and they should have
a fair show. Mr.. Britt concluded by
asking that George Naber be voted on.
There was already motion before the
house, and Mr.. Britt's motion did not
go.
Mr. Waterhouse offered a substitute
for Mr.. Wills motion. to take up all the
names and vote on them, commencing
with the lowest.
Mr.. Campbell dug up some parlia-
mentary objections to Mr.. Water
houses substitute, and discussion on
technical points followed. Finally Mr..
Waterhouse failed to obtain second,
and then Mr.. Campbell took up the
whole garbage question, and reviewed
II his remarks tending to show that
the bond given was Of no practical
value in cases where the work was neg
ligently performed, although it might
be of some value when a contractor
threw up his job. He pointed out that

THE APPROPRIATIONS

The report of the Finance Committee.
transmitting the annual estimate Of re-
ceipts and expenditures, the two bal
anclng at S424, 656.32, was received in
the Second Branch and read, as hereto
fore published in detail. The annual ap-
preparation ordinance was transmitted
with the above report, as heretofore
printed'except the details of the ten cent
levy expenditure, and was read. Mr..
Wills objected, on accounc of the distri-
button of ten cent levy funds in the
Third ward, which, he said, was not as
the majority of the Councilman from
that ward wished. Mr. Waterhouse
said he thought there were errors in
the measure, and attempted to have it
referred back to the Committee, but he
could not get second, and it went over
TO the next meeting.
At $50 Mr. Wills said. upon reflec-
ton, ne would withdraw his objection
10 the ordinance, and attempt to amend
it at the point when the ten cent levy
money was distributed in the Third
ward, and the measure was accordingly
again taken up. At the proper place,
Mr.. Wills offered an amendment strik-
ing out all the Third ward improve
ments and substituting S2,515 for paw
ing Fifteenth street, from Alley to the
present pavement, and $3.50 for sewer
on McCulloch street from Thirteenth
to Fourteenth streets. When Mr.. Wills
read his amendment, Mr.. Campbell
locked horns with him, saying two of
the five Third ward members were op-
posed to Mr.. Wills ideas. Mr.. Fair
sided with Mr.. Campbell, and against
Mr.. Wills.
Mr. Wills made big effort to carry
his point and secure the paving of FIT
teenth street, and while admitting that
three of the members from the ward
were against him, he said majority Of
the people of the ward were with him.
Notwithstanding this, his motion was
lost.
Mr.. Britt then objected to the appro-
priationS for paving on Nineteenth
street, he offered an amendment, which
was eombatted by Mr. Bodley, and the
resulting discussion showed that there
was a disagreement in the ward as to
where the money should be spent. Mr..
Britt's amendment was adopted.
Mr. WaterhouSe moved to strike out
$500 from the Alley d appropriation,
and $3.50 from Alley E. and use the re-
sulting $500 to pave the north half of
Twenty-third street, from Chapline to
Eoff, and it was adopted.
An amendment was made in the Is
land appropriations by Mr.. Hamilton,
generally reconstructing the work, and
it was adopted
The fund to be used to widen Fink
street was increased from S1,100 to
$1,7OO, the extra $500 being obtained by
increasing the sum to be expended by
the B. p W. for certain Improvements
from $500 to $1,000.
The ordinance was then passed.
On the second reading OF the ordi-
nance, in the First Branch, there was
another attempt to amend the measure,
in the interests of the minority in the
Third ward delegation, and the clause
finally went to conference committee,
with the result that some money was
taken from Jacob street and put on Fiji
teenth. There were ether objections,
and the ordinance as a whole had a
narrow escape from being wrecked, but
finally got through at midnight.

The Committee On Streets. Alleys
and Grades reported that the extension
of Chapline street was ineXpedisnt at
this time, and it was adopted.
The report Of the Committee on Scales
recommending that a contract for new
scale house, at Eoff and Sixteenth
streets, be let to H. w. Fair, at his BID
of SIS, was approved.
The recommendation of the Commit
tee on Real Estate, that Charles lice
be required to yacate his lease at Six
tesnth and McColioch streets, was lost
on a rising vote,
A motion instructing the B. L. w.
to notify all property owners, where
curbing is set, TO pave within thlrty
DAYS. was offered by Hahne and referred
to the Board.
Several resolutions for street I'M
tnrovements in various wards were read
and referred.
The Dr.. Walden disputed bill came
ND. and Mr.. Lindsay moved for spe-
cial committee of three from each
Branch to settle the matter. After a
long discussion, the motion was lost.
Mr.. Fair offered a resolution author
izing the Committee on Cemeteries TO
.'expend $500 or $780," out OF the city
contingent fund, on the East End park
Mr.. Wills thought the expenditure
could be made to advantage, as the
park bordered on his back yard. lie
thought the motion all right.
MIR. Waterhouse moved to strike ou'
| $500 and make the sum $500. Adopted
The original resolution was then lost

licitor and Streets, Alleys and Grades.
The fifty cent and ten cent tax levy
ordinances were taken up and passed
in both Branches.
The report of the Committee on
Wharves. refusing the petition of the
West Virginia Sand Company, was laid
on the table in the Second Branch, after
the First Branch had refused to concur
in a motion to file.

should hold fast to, regardless OF any
bond, however good it might be.
Mr.. Wills admitted that Mr.. Camp
bells argument was generally good,
but his man (Mr. Jennings) was just
as honorable a man as Mr. CampbelPs
(Mr. Becker). Mr.. Wills further held
that if past records was the only thing
to be considered, there was no use in
asking for bids at all.
Replying, Mr.. Campbell said he had
nothing to say about Mr.. Jennings or
any other man, but the experience Of
the city had been that the work could
not be done below a certain sum, and
the present contractor, at s12,1 100, was
the only man who had ever pretended
to live up to the ordinance.
The question was then put ON Mr..
Wills amendment to give the contract
to Mr.. Jennings, and it was lost
Mr.. Hamilton then moved to award
the contract to Thomas Coffee, at his
bid of $780, the lowest bidder OF the
thirteen.
Mr.. Bender scored a touchdown by
asking what had become of Mr.. Ham
ilton's Wanted respect for the reports
of Committees.
Mr. Hamilton's motion was lost.
Mr. Waterhouse moved to take the
next lowest bidder. without knowing
who he was. He proved TO be John
Coffee, at $4,000, and the motion was
lost.
Mr. Waterhouse then moved to take
the next lowest. There proved to be
two Of them, G. S. Naber and Jos. Con-
rad both bidding $1,000.
Mr.. Britt advocated Mr.. Naber, but he
got left, and Mr. Waterhouse moved to
vote on j. Conrad. 1t was lost, the
Becker men standing well together.
Mr. Lindsay moved to name j. w.
McCracken Lost.
Mr.. Waterhouse moved to substitute
the name Of A. Beuley. Lost.
Mr.. Warehouse moved to insert the
name of Gala Mitchell, at $4,000.
Lost. He then moved to insert p Ma
hOuv at $4,000 Lost. Mr.. Carney. at
$4,000, was the next and Mr.. Water
house said he was responsible without
a bond. The motion was lost, viva
voce, but Mr.. Waterhouse asked for a
division. Mr.. Bender objected. as the
vote had been announced. and scored
another touchdown. J. Lanahan, at
s10,520, next fell by the wayside, having
but one vote, and Mr. Warehouse
called for "the next man, whoever he
may be-" He was NJ. Flanagan. whose
bid was S11,25OS3. He got about three
votes.
Mr.. Waterhouse then called for "the
next" and it proved to be Becker
There was laugh. but Mr.. Waterhouse
said he hoped Mr. Becker would be
elected, as he was a good man. He
called for the ayes and nays. and Mr.
Becker was chosen, so far as the Second
Branch was concerned. ayes 10, noes 5,
