Gentlemen Your standing commit
tee ON finance, begs to submit the fol-
lowing report ON applications for a
lease to the foot of London street, ex-
listing lease expiring during the next
month.
Two parties have applied for u

present lessees, and the Bay Iron
Works. Your committee failing toI
find precedent for a similar case.
In our opinion under usual conditions,
the present lessees are entitled to a,
renewal on equal terms. but, recog7
nizing the right of any citizen to app
ply for. or submit a bid for anything
at the disposal of the mayor and
council, and as well, the duty of coun-
ell to obtain the best financial results
for the city, we recommend that both
applicants be invited to submit at
the next regular meeting of council,
sealed bids for the leasehold interest
for a term not exceeding ten years,
detailing in full the conditions upon
which the bid is based and the pur-
bose for which the property is desired.
