The plana were spread out upon the Clerk's table, and the reprosentatives of the taxpayers €0t down to their work without delay. Mr. Durling wanted to know why the city conld ot bulld its foundation the same 28 thatof the county as regarded the dome, and then go on with a thin wall, so that the dome could be erected ata tutare day If desized.
