Whereas, there are now stored in
the Aala warehouse large quantities OF
merchandise which was removed from
the infected blocks prior to the fire OF
January goth, and also many parcels
of personal effects also taken from said
blocks, and there is reason to believe
that said goods and effects are infected
with plague and from their nature il
would be difficult by any treatment
short of destruction by fire to render
the same harmless to reasonable GER
tainty; and whereas, it has been re
commended by the merchants com
mittee that an appropriation of 500,
900 be asked for to pay Sc 2-3 per cent
of the value of said goods, 80 per cent
of the owners of the same having sig
nified their willingness to accept sait
percentage in full of all claims; ant
whereas, in the opinion of the Boart
the public safety requires that sai'
goods and effects, other than hardware
sewing machines, and other good
which can be effectually fumigated
should be destroyed:
Resolved, that the Executive Coun
Gil be requested to ask the appropria
ton of the Council of State of the sur
of 100000 for the purpose of paSin
66 2-3 per cent. of the value of sue
