In the Council, Mr. Dunlop offer- ed a resolution, which was adopted, asking for the leval opiniom of the Recorder as to the power of the Corporation to levy a front foot tax upon the property of the Town to defray the expense of distribating the Aqueduct water though the ‘own. Mr. King presented the petition of Miss Lydia A. English, asking to be released from the opera- tien of the Corporation law requiring all area Walls to be protected by suitable railings; referred to Aldermen. The same gentleman offered the following re- solution, whieh was adopted: Resolved, That the Mayor be, and he is hereby requested to suspend for the present the Operation of the law in relation jto area walls, passed Feb- ruary, S58.
