In addition to the usual routine #
business connected with the city GOV

when the City Council assemblies to-
night at the Council Chamber.
OF Immediate Importance will be
the discussion of plans for the ac-

nal of the new steamer line be-

and Oxford. This new line will
inaugurate its passenger service Fon
wednesday of this week and for the
time being will land at the head Of
the City Dock.
This permission has already been
granted in a tentative way by Mayor
Strange, but as the steamer line is
now negotiating with the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railway Campany for freigh onnec-
tions, and desires eventually 0 land
its passengers and freight a he foot
of King George street, plans ;or this
work will be discussed and lrobably
referred to the ordnance c, nmittee
to prepare the necessary fra mise.
Another question which may in all
probability be taken up will be TIE
discussion of the advisability of b..
ginning at once to prepare for an in
provement in the present antiquat
sewerage system for the city. Amo. :
the plans which have been advanced
are two of greater feasibility than the
rest One provides for continuing
the present sewerage outlets in every
section cf the town, to points farther
from shore than now is the case.
Another and more ambitious scheme
is to install brand new force sys-
