THE BOARD OF COUNCILMEN.
Lack ofa Quorum Prevented the Trans
action of Business Last Night.


The board Of counclmen held short
adjourned session last night, but owing
to the departure of two members, Coun-
cilmen Burton of the Sixth ward and
Barnes of the Fourteenth ward, which
left the board without quorum, an ad-
journment was necessarily taken before
any business had been transacted. It
was S:45 o'clock before Councilman
Brown of the Seventh ward appeared
and made up quorum. City Sheriff
HUME had been sent out to look up a
member to make up a quorum, but he
had not yet returned with his man be-
fore the final adjournment
After the appearance of Mr.. Brown
the board was at once called to order
and several petitions were read and re-
ferred to committees, including a petit
tion for the repairing of Blatchley ave-
nue. with crushed stone and petitions for
the building of sewers in Ferry street,
between Grand avenue and Chapel
street, and in Wolcott street. Then As
sistant City Clerk Martin read the rail-
roads and bridges committees recon-
mendation that the portion Of the order
concerning the crossing of the Derby
avenue bridge by the Fair Haven and
Westville railroad which required the
company to pay 5000 yearly be rescind-
ed. A motion was made to concur with
the aldermen in adopting the resolution,
but Councilman Rice moved an amend
ment providing that the 5000 condition
be allowed to remain. A hot debate en-
sued, in the course of which Council
men Walsh, Conlin, Chase, Magoohan
and Rice spoke in favor of adopting the
committees recommendation. Council
man Tyner made strong speech in OPP
position to the adoption of the recon-
mendation. He said that the city had
built a $4,000 bridge to accommodate
the railroad company, when for ordi-
nary traffic a $4,000 bridge would have
been adequate He thought that the
railroad company should help pay the
extra cost.
Counclmen Conlin, Walsh and others
who favored the recommendation said
that they favored it not for the railroad
company, but in order that the tracks
could be extended across the bridge to
accommodate the large number of peo-
pie who desire to visit ST. Lawrence
cemetery. They called attention to the
fact that the elimination of the 5000 con-
dition was asked for by the Catholic
clergymen Of the city and by the direc-
tors Of st. Lawrence cemetery. They
thought that the convenience of such
large number of people should be con-
sidered. 1t was apparent that those fa-
voring the adoption of thesrecommend-
alton were in the majority and just be-
fore the question came to a vote Messrs.
Burton and Barnes left the chamber.
Attention was called to the fact that
there was no quorum and the board ad-
journed to meet again Monday night.
President Miller appointed Councllmen
Conlin and Hillman councilmanic MEM
bers of the committee to arrange for a
reunion and banquet of the members Of
the common council of 1S9s-1900 to be
held some time before June /.
