The first stated meeting of the Council o.
1902 was held in the Council Chamber or
Tuesday evening last, with all the members
present Clerk Carroll had secured new
stationery, and the desks of members and
the reporters table were alike provided
with tools with which to prosecute theiI
duties in businesslike manner.
The bond Of VIM. r. Dopson, as one Of
the Overseers of the Poor of the city, in
the sum of 5000, was read and approved
also the bond of the same as City Marshal,
in the sum of S., 200, was approved.
The bond Of Geo. K. Carroll, City Clerk,
in the sum of $500, was read and approved.
The following bills were ordered paid:

As the last named bill was at the rate Of
81. so per NJ, Mr.. Henderson objected to its
payment on the ground that nobody else
paid more than SIPS. He thought the

city, as a large consumer, was entitled to
the lowest rate The bill, on his motion,
was referred back for correction.

ions n the first inst and after hearinS tbe
specifications &c. read aft a sneeial meeting
Of Council. called for the purpose of adopt-
inc specifications and advertising for new
bids for the completion of the present sew
AGE syetem. I have come to the conclusion
and do recommend to vour honorable body:
First. That all work cease (except what
is actually necessary to fill trenches and
place the streets in proper shape) and the
system be abandoned.
Second. All parties concerned in the
sewage contracts get together and mutually
determine the liabilities of the CITY.
Third. The CITY then to issue bonds for
the payment of said liabilities.
Fourth After the bonds are paid, new
plans can be made for proper sewage
system. The pipes already laid can be
used in connection with the new plan, if
possible.
l make the above suggestions for the
reason that l believe it is for the best in
terests OF the City, and the cheapest thing
that can be done under the existing circum-
stances. Respectfully,
SAM'L II. LADD,
Mayor.
