 The amendment having passed it was voted unanimously to approve the Journal with the exception of the may or's message. The board then voted to concur with the councilmen in passing orders for sewers in the following streets Exchange street. between James and Haven streets; Sherman avenue, between Goffe and Henry streets, provided that the avenue is thus extended; Oak street, between sherman avenue and Greenwood street; Hallock avenue, between Sea and Lamberton streets; Willow street, between Orange and Foster streets; Gibbs street, between Shelton avenue and Northampton railroad tracks, and Saltonstall avenue between Ferry and Popular streets. It was also voted to concur with the councilmen in giving the following petitioners leave to with draw: For a sewer on Scranton street, between Orchard and Day streets; for a sewer on Thorne and Eddy streets. for sewer on Newhan street, between Ivy and Lilac streets, and for a sewer on Fillmore street It was voted to ad- here to the previous action in giving sst11e petitioners leave to withdraw" in regard to the recommendation that Chapel street, between York and State streets, be paved with vitrified brick. 1t will be remembered that the peti- tfoner referred to in this vote is the mayor The councilmen passed the or der. The vote to adhere was taken on motion of Alderman Unger.
 Just as this matter was disposed of Alderman Rourke entered the chamber and when an opportunity was pre- sented he took the floor and said: 1T want to say that when at a previous meeting of the aldermen I referred to the Lord God of the board of charities and correction, did not refer to MT. Rowe. I understand that the other clerk there has tried to saddle it off upon him."
 A resolution was presented by Alder man Ryan directing the clerk of the board to print in the Journal only what was ordered by the board.
 Alderman Rourke speaking of this resolution said: 'I want to say that the sooner the city and the mayor finds that the court of common council is supreme here, the better will it be for the taxpayers. I want to know who caused that message to be printed (City Clerk Lyon endeavoring to speak). "Mr. President, I wish you would have the city clerk keep quiet while am speaking" President Lam- bert ordered the city clerk to keep still and MT. Rourke continuing said: ''We decided here almost unanimously not to have that message printed Now don't want the city clerk to interrupt me when I am speaking on this floor. When I have anything to say here, l will say it as I d-n please. It is a d-n shame if a man can't get up in the board of aldermen to speak without having the city clerk interrupt him."
 Alderman Chillingworth referred to section 132 of the charter which pro- vides that no vote, resolution or meas ure shall be put upon its passage until it shall have been referred to a con- mittee for a hearing, unless unanimous consent shall have been given. He claimed that MT. Ryans resolution should follow that course the design evidently being to delay the passage of the resolution.
 Alderman Dewel1 replying to this said: "It seems hardly worth while tc answer such a thing as that. I have always given the gentleman from the Tenth credit for Interpreting some sec tions of the charter when Winthrop avenue is not concerned. No rule o1 procedure of the board has to go to g committee. That section of the char ter means papers and resolutions whicf come to the board, it does not refer to rules of procedure of our own. | it did we couldn't do anything here ii one man objected and my friend know:
