about $3.50 10 the city and $50 10 the
county,
Messrs. Trimyer and Nay, two OF

REVISING THE RULEs.-On July Is
last. a resolution was introduced 10 the
Common Council shat q committee OF
four members, two from each board,
be appointed to recommend to council,
such changes in the rules governing
this body ss said committee may con-
slider advisable" Owing to delay no
action was taken by the Board of Alder
men until Monday last. The joint
committee named are Messrs. J. M.
Hill, N. p. T.. Burke. J. ID. Normoyle
and J. T. Johnson. The committee has
not met as yet to formulate or recon-
mend changes, although an informal
talk was INDUCED in by the committee
10 the lobby OF the hall after the a
journment OF council on Monday uight
last. IL has been suggested that among
the changes to ne recommended was an
increase In the number OF members IRON
four to fve-the extra member to be
chosen from the Common Council. Just
what an extra member is needed for
is not as yet manifest. ln the year
1885 an extra member was ap-
pointed upon the finance committee,
but IL was not long before II was found
that the extra member was useless,
as most of the work OF this most i'm
portaut committee could be as we'll if
not better done by four members. The
examination, cancellation and destruc-
tlops OF coupons is done by four mem
bers; the examination and set
Element with the tax collector requires

checking up Of warrants, examination
of vouchers and addition and checking

three members. OF course all reports
are considered by the full committee.
Several attempts have been made re-
Gently to add one member to the
street committee, but failed 10 the Board
of Aldermen. This committee should
have an extra member, for one reason
only, and that because OF the work
contemplated on streets.
