 ceived and placed on file. An ann endment was made, That said sub committee be discharged. After con siderable discussion the amendment was put and overwhelmingly lost. The Longshoremen' committee of three, and two off the City Council men being the only ones voting against it. The original motion pre- vailed.
 After some further discussion, request was made, that the Sec'y read the copy of the original tele- gram received from the Alaska Lighterage and Commercial Con- pany. It was read, and then some very eloquent oratory was delivered, some of the committeeman thought that in all due respect to the afore- said company, an answer should be given to their telegram, others were of the opinion that such a thing was not necessary.
 Right at this point, the scribe ex- to be resurrected, and introduced, it was drawn from the inside pocket of the chairman of the finance com mitSee, but, alas! It was only for a brief moment or two, it was again gently replaced to where it is at present resting peacefully. etc., etc.,

L. & c. Co., to ship in coal to supply the camp for the en- suing year." This brought forth considerable discussion visa-versa. After which a motion was made and almost unanimously carried that the previous motion be laid upon the table. Settling the question to date, at any rate, that no answer be giv- en to the original telegram of the aforesaid lghterage company.
