It struck Commiseioner Souno as being a little gauzy, and Tio opposed it on the very sensible ground that if thera Were any back taxes unagpruprl:(ed to ke nsed, tho General Fund was tho place for the money, eapecially since the city was heing flooded with orlers against this fund, and contractors and cemployes wero clamoring In vain, and had been for’ months, and werc apt to ba for months to coms, whilo tye Court-House furd was ample for the year, The **Ring," saw the sitoation in & diffarent 1ight, and fof the time losing sight of the sullering poor, of dehts owed contractors, of Ittunces duo omployes, of the probability of being forced for want of money and credit to close soms of tho county institations, the resolutions woa adopted.
