AANIARD ROOFS. * The following communication from the Boerd of Underwriters was referred to the Committee on Fire and Water : Gesmryex: Intlewof the dangerous character, 85 generally constructed, of the style of roof kriown as the ““ Mansard,” on buildings used_for business pur- poses, in respect tothe facility it affords for the com- munication of fire to contiguous buildings, and the respectfully petition sour honorzble body to proail by ordinance the comstruction hereafter, within the 1imits of this city, of any such roof on any building to ‘o used for business purposes, or any block of_build- ings to be nsed for £ny other purpose, if the height of the same 1s to be more than forty fect, unless con- strocted wholly of indestructibls material. ORDERS. Regolutions were introduced ordering the Board of Pablic Workesto complets Siate sireet bridge and the viaduet.of the samo; to report Sa ordinencs for paving Carpenter street from Mad- ison to Milwaukee avenue ; to submit estimates of the cost of, an welsl in TUnion and Wicker Parks; toreport an ordinence for paving Eighteenth etreet from Wabash avenue to the Tlinois Central track. STREET IMPROVEMENTS. _ The Board of Public Works submitted a num- ser of ordinances for sidewalks, end also ordi- 2ances for curbing Fisher street from Harrison ‘0 Polk, and paving Jefferson from Van Buren o Harrison, which were passed. ass, The Gas Inspector submitted & statement of he_operations of his department for the year nding Nov. 11, 1872. The test lamp méters rdered tobe set had been locsted,—seven in te West Division, three in the North Division, ad five in the South Division. The tunnel 1mters had recently been removed, and adjusted nd reproved. The Inspector says he is informed tat in several States where there is a law overning the inspection of gas, the usance ;n either side i8 2 or 8 per cent; that 2 meter registering either fast or slow to this -extent is allowed as cor- rect. From general observation, he coneiders the street-lamps at present in a much better condition than herefofore, and every exertion a8 made to ensare their prompé rspair. Com- plaints had recently béen made of tho short sup- Ply of §as to tho street-lamps in the West Divis- jon. Upon inquiry, he found it resulted from the want of_ gas-holder roor. This had been remedied, aud within a short time the People’s Gas Company wonld have full capecity to supply a1l that might be needed. The principal portion of the proving and photometrical apparatus had errived and been et up, but sufiicient time had not elapsed to put it in complete working order. GAS ORDINANCES. On motion of Ald. Daggy, the three gas ordi- nances were taken up, the first one coneidered being the one in relation to tho Mutual Gas- Light Company, the pending question being on & substitute offered by Ald. Bowen, which strikes out the provieo requiring the Company to lay twice es much pipe in the West Division as in the other two divisions; it simply requires the Compsany to charge reasonable rates, not ex- ceeding those of other companies ; it limits the ywer of the Council to order the Company to P.‘;— dovn pipes, extends the time in which pipe ig to be laid, omits forfeiture for higher raes than those llowed in the bill, etc. - Ald. McGrath moved to table the substitute. ‘The motion was agreed to. & The orditizure itself was then tabled. THE NATIONATL. The ordinance for the National Company was next taken up. ‘Ald. Daggy submitted amendments_author- izing the Company to lay pipes under the side- walks, permitting them to tear up the block pavement at the strect crossings, and limiting lhzlprica t0 8250 a thousand feet. 4. Dixon moved to lay over and_publish the ondinance, as amended. The motion was not sgreed to—yeas, 15 ; nays, 18. "Ald. Bailey moved to recomsit. 9; sy, 22. "A14. Bailey moved to adjonrn. Not sgreed to —yeas, 9; nays, 22, Ald,” Dixon offered an smendment Tequir- ing the Company to lay the first ffteen Lost—yeas, miles of pipe in the West Division. It was ac- cepted. o Ald. Knickerbocker moved to lay over and publish the ordinance as amended. Lost—yeas, 18 ; nays, 18. e “A1d. MeAvoy offered an amendment providing that no permit to lay pipe shall be issued by the Board of Pablic Works until the Company shall have expended £250,000, exclusive of the cost of d, in the erection of gas works. It was ot agreed to. Ald. McGenniss offered an amendment, pro- . viding that no pipes should be lsid in private arks or in the plats in front of private resi- jences. It was adopted. Ald. Otis offered an amendment to the amend- ment, providing that no permit for laying pipes Dbe issued until o majority of the property- ovwners on a street upon which it is proposed to - lay the pipe shall have petitioned for its leying. It was voted down. y Ald. Bailey moved that the consideration of Section 8, to which the above were amendments, e * indifferently” postponed. The motion was not entertained. N ‘After considerable wrangling, Alderman Coey tated that he had qeen informed by an Alder- man that he had eeen s letter in which it was ‘proposed to scil s majority of the stock of ono ©of the new gas companies, or withdraw, if paid £100,000 in cash. - Al4. McGennies erid he was tho Alderman rc- ferred to, and it was true. He did not know the name of the Company. Ald. Btout had also seen the letter, but he be- lieved it to be bogus. Ald. Holden asked what the $100,000 was for. Ald. McGenniss said it was to be paid if the ordinance was withdrawn. i ‘Ald. Daggy also saw the letter. Ifwaswritten - over o yenr and a half ago, by the New York fel- low who came to Chicago to fet franchises, and not by the people who desired the passage of the ordinance under consideration. The latter were not that class of men ; they wero moneyed men gnd honest men, and meant business. They were to give a bond of £500,000 not to sell out. Ald. Tengacher thought it strange that Ald, McGenniss could not remember the name of the Company, or of the man who signed the letter. Ald. MeGenniss szid he could not remember either, but he could tell where the letter was. ‘Ald. Thompson had been told that the ordi- ince was to pass, that the Mayor was to veto it, and that it was to be passed over his veto next Mondey night. | "Ald. McGenniss did not want to reflect mpon the character of any man, butif Ald Daggy would refer to a recent decision of the Supreme Court in reference to the Great Western Tele- grap'h Company, he would learn something about some ‘of the men who wanted the ordi- e el 3 inquired if the letter did not offer to sell out mé\ nilg%mvcd right for manufac- i) 1 00, buring gas for Q100 Pliod that it did nots thero 5 on 50 5ol out, of po- a word of dnou adve: * et aling the bond of the Com- iy £1.000,000, instead of £500,000, was sgreed “414. Daggry moved that the ordinance b refer- red to the Clerk for engrossment, and be made the special order for next meeting of the Coun- cil, Agreed to. The Council then adjourned. THE PRESS CLUB. Meecting of the Executive Committee— Arrangements for o Series of Cosmo= politan Press Banquets. Yesterdsy evening the Executivo Committes of the Chicago Press Club held a meoting at the Times office. This institution, that is, the club, like an underground drain, is useful and obscure. It furnishes to reporters an oppor- tunity to relieve themselves, while alive, of cer- tain perilous stuff which they are unable to get rid of in the newspapers to which they be- long; it gives them resolutions when dead; and, once & year, eometimes, it onables them to make speeches at 'a press banquot. ‘There have been none of theso interesting re- unions for Bome time, owing to the negligencs of the President, or the low state of ‘the funds. For no new member will join, unless he can bo elected Treasurer, and thereby see what became of his money; and all the cash in tho exchequer consists of & golitary dollar, which is in succes- sion borrowed by each member, who straightway pays his dues with it, thereby making one dollar do the work of ten. Notwithstanding this unfortunato state of affairs, the Executive Committce felt called upon to give another banquet, or, to speak more correctly, to find somebody who would give & ‘banquet which they could eat. Roporters, who attend B0 many banquets of other people, who spread their napking at St. Andrew’s, St. George's, St. Pafrick's, and a dozen other boards, naturclly feel desirous to have their own, where they can make speeches, 2nd not have to report them, and where they can eat without feeling that they are there on sufferance. Consequently they met at the time and place aforementioned, Ir. C, in the Chair. That gentleman, upon calling them to_order, drew from_his pocket a roll of manuscript, and begged to detain them for o moment while he called their attention to some facts which he Dad boen tmablo to got published in the paper with which be was connected owing to lack of room. He then proceeded to read an article containing various claborate tables, showing the amount of heat evolved by the gaslights in this city, and how the chilly nights ate largely duo to the poor quality of gas furnished by the West Side Company; and also how the cold was inten- sified by the loss of the heat caused by the fric- tion of the whesls of street railroad cars on the fracks, referring to that defunct corporation Lknown as the West DivisionStreet Railway Com-~ any. s ¢ neaa long essay on Mr. Scommon as an editor, as seen by a reporter on the Jnfer- Ocean, which he had propared for the Times, but owinfirto the recent peace between that pa- per and Mr. Scammon, he had been unable to publieh there, After all the other gentlemen present had read papers of equal interest, the great question of the banquet was broached. Ir. B. thought it best to have one at the Sherman Houso—n plain dinner, beef, game, pastry, and whiskey. M. H. wanted to know where the money was to come from. Mr. B. thought they had better issue a number of invitations, and inform the persons invited thet every one paying $5 would have a neat speech written for him, and printed, a8 if de- livered by him ; also, the word ‘ Hon.” to bo put before his name. They had tried it in Mil- wankee once with great suceess. If they did not think that would answer, then, after the guesta had eaten and drunk and were good-natured, they would collect what they could. Mr. F. had found tbat people when drunk were not good natured, but quarrelsome. Be- sides, the landlord would want gaj‘ in edvance. The Chair suggested tlmt they make up o schedule of what they would do for Mr. Rice, of the Sherman House, if he would give them the er. 4 It wos drawn up as follows: Name the largest sun spot after him; never mention him in the Sunday Times ; give him a_puff in tho Post_commercial reports; mention bim edi- torially in the Ma:l; furnish him with the Journal gratis, and get him exempted from jury service. “This was sent in by & Committes of one, and presently retarned “ respect{ully refused.” It being plain that nothing'was to be done there, the Execntive Committee came to the con- clusion that perhaps it would not be best to have the dinner at the Sherman House, which was not much of a hotel after all. It might be bet- ter to hold it on the South Bide, 80 s to accom- modate the North Side people, if thero were any living there. So they went over on to Madison street, East, and made similar proposals at the first hotel they came to, but were received in about the same way. Several other places were visited with similar success; politely declined or rudely refused. After somedeliberation, the Chairman suggest- ed thet they hold the banquet in s saloon. A saloon had many advantages over the Sherman House. It was possible to get beer thers, It was also possible to get enthusiastic, and thamp on the tables without harming anything. case one_got tipsy, thers were no stairs to fall down. In orderto make it sound better, they could state in the programme that this was the first of a series of press ban- quets, which were to be given, in & cosmopolitan character, by holding them £ salsons, restancants, hotels, and ather places of publio resort, thereby familiarizing -guests with the differcnt styles of cooking in vogue in the city,—the German, the Italian, the Irish, the cheap American, and the high-toned Ameri- can styles. This idea was considered & good one by all, andat the request of the Chairman, who pre- ferred & Eflnce Tear his own rosidence, they visit- od & saloon on Madison trect, near the Police Station, snd entered into negotia- tions. Tho ' keeper agreed to fur- nish tables, light, waiters, and food, consisting of brown bread, cut into pieces of convenient size for eating, mustard in China pots, bologna ssusage in slices, pigs’ feet, and similar dainties, conditioned, however, that the parties of the gecond part would jointly and Beverally promise to bring at least thirty guests ~who should pay for their beer, the party of the first part calculating that he could make enough on the increased sale of beer to pay_him for the incidental expenses. Therefore o bargain was struck, and we are rospectfully requested to an- nounca that the first of the series of pross banguets will be held & week after the resumption of business by the West Side Street Car Compsany, which is expected some time next month, or the month_after, or later, at the saloon before mentioned. The price of tickets will depend upon themeans of the guests; clergymen and newspsper proprietors free. Thera will be intellectual conversation between ihe members of the Executive Committee. The waiters spesk German and English, and heer can be ordered in both languages. Persons un- willing to go home after the dinmer will be :‘A_L'cummfldnled with lodgings at the Police Sta- ion.

Returned from Baston—What EHe Saw ‘There—Chicagoe’s Donation to the Sufferers—Will They Acccept the $100,000 ? The Rev. Robert Laird Collior returned to the city from Boston on Sunday afternoon, and was found yesterday afternoon by a TRIBUNE re- porter enjoying the equivocal pleasures of house-cleaning, hanging pictures, and otherwise fatiguing himself. This must account for the very brief summary of Mr. Collier's Oriental la- bors. Though briof, however, it is comprehen- sive, and tells all therois to learn. After es- plaining his mission to Boston, with which every true Chicagoan is familier, Mr. Collier said that on Wednesdsy at noon thers wasa meeting of citizens held in Tremont Temple, over whose de~ Iiberations Moyor Gaston presided. There were present at this meeting Hon. Henry Wilson, Vico President elect, Governor Washburne, ex- Governor Claflin, Alexender Rice, anda number of other notebles. He supposed everybody knew abont this mmfinfi' TFrom o conversation he held with various gen- tlemen, he found that only about three hundred families had been burnt out, and $80,000,000 had been destroyed. No eighty acres could have been selected for destruction in the whole city which would have burnt out fewer people and more property. They uniformlystated that they had no idea that they would need or consent to rocoive any help from abroad. At a meeting held on Thursday, at which Mr. ‘William Gray presided, that gentleman present~ ed a resolution, warmly thanking the country at large for thoir sympathy and the material aid they had offerod, but expressing their nnwilling- ness to mccept any assistance from abroad. AMayor Gaston opposed the passage of this resolution, end a few minutes lator it was unanimously voted to accept ‘what was offered. Mr. Collier was thon called upon to make a few remarks. His modesty pre- vonted him informing the reporter of the fact, but Mr, Collier delivered s stirring peech, and was enthusiastically cheerad. DMMr. Collier ten- dered the sympathy of Chicago and & donation of $100,000, half of which was from tho city and the other half from the Relief and Aid Society. At this_meeting tho citizens dolegated to the Exccutive Comunitteo all authority in the matter. The committeo was composed of Mesars, William Gray, Alexender Rice, Otis Norcross, and ox- Governor Claflin. 'The Executive Committes called upon Mr, Collier and learned from him the details of the labors of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society, familiarized himself with their blanks and genéral operations. The general spirit of the Boston pressand the leading merchants of the city is opposed to re- ceiving anything from abroad. There are from 25,000 to 40,000 persons, women, clerks, and commercial agents, who will be thrown out of employment, and must bo tided over the nest three or four months. _An Employment Buresu was started imme- diately after the fire for the purpose of finding some occupation for_the suflerers, Provisions, clot;ung, etc., had been received for them al- ready. Tt 18 tho goneral impression thronghout Bos- ton that Chicago never did anything 80 magnifi- cent as in raising this money and sending it to Boston, It had created tho greatest imaginable enthusiasm. It touched their hearts. At the same time, while there are many people out of employment, there is none of that distress which Was seen in Chicago. SRR e Earthqualke in New Hampshire, Coxcorp, N.
