The same patriotism thai elected you, gentlemen, to this ouncil can be relted upon in any emergency. The banks of Chicato may be relled on In any emer-~ gency. Only sliow the people nnd the banks that Fou mean to_ have an_economical Administration, #uch aa han been hinted ot by our Mayor in his ine angural, If you can eave £2,000,000 of monsy an- noally a8 ho hos pointed’ oub—if you make your actiona conform to what he has'sald, they will come begzing s to take their money in an emergency. For thia emergency the resolution is offered. I have no fearn of the futare. As soon as our constitnenta sce that the moncy Is going ta be properly expended, and that this )ittle reeolu. tion Is carried out, which hna becn offered hera by Mr. Nailard,—the rerolution requesting the Jndiclary Comumiitice to exnmine all the laws and ordinances, and report what offices may be nbolished without detriment to the publia Intereet,—~then yon will bave no difiicnlty about getting money, ~When these paymenta aro all ar- ranged we cai show the people that we are saving the money, and then there will be mno diffculty about nurcredit. Dut for this emergency, just now, we offer thia recolution.

GO BLOWLY, Al Sheridan—I hope that Lhe resolution will ba referrod. Thors aro many Yery RTava rcasons why thiv should be done, and why the matter should be thoroughly copeldored. o the first place, it has uot come properly before the Council by a commu- nlcatlon from the rullrvada, of the roport of a com- mittee. In the pext place, there are very serious qneations o be discussed when this matler comes up. For instunce, thers are prescriptiva righta ob- twined by tho ownés of property upen Wichigun aveuue which cannot be sllenatcd, either by tl City Councll, the Government of the Btats, or of the United flates.
