COMMON COUNCIL.

The Common Council came 10 order
shortly before o'clock with quorum
which was soon afterwards increased
to Iwelve members.
The committee on finance reported
adversely upon the resolution for the
PAYMENT of 500 per annum to keep
the horse of the chief engineer OF the
fire department. The committee say
that the horse is rot the property OF
the city and the city has nothing to do
with it.
Mr.. Greene supported the resolution,
contending that as the engines were
carried to the fire by feet horses the
engineer was Obliged to use a horse.
MIR. Brill moved to reject the report.
The vote stood ayes 6, uoes 5.
Mr.. Smith moved that the city pay
500 per year to feed the chiefs horse
while 1t Is used by The civ.
Mr.. Smith asked Mr. St'der If the
Columbia company ever owned pair
Of horses.
Mr.. Strider-I think so.
Did not the city feed those horses =?
Mr.. Srider thought so, but said Mr..
JJhler knew most about Il g matter.
Mr.. Unler said that the horses had
been bought by popular subscription
[nroed over to the Columbia company
and became the properly of the city.
When they were sold the money was
used TO buy other horses. -,
Eight members only voted for the
resolution introduced by MIR. smith.
The chair said the order was lost lot
want OF 9 votes.
Mr. Greene called up the ordinance
