GEORGETOWN CORPORATION AFFAIRS. > aie Correspondence of The Star. Groncztown, May 7, 1860. At the meeting of the Board of Common Coun- ell, on Friday evening last, all the members were present The report of the Chief of Police for the month et — was received and referred to the Board of Aldermen. It states that there were 34 arrests during the month, 19 lodgers accommodated, and 21 persons fined. Amount of fines, $118.17. A communication from the Clerk was received in reply to the resofittion of inquiry passed on the 27th ult.. stating that the town school-house is insured in the Potomac Company for $1,250, at a premicm of $6.25 per annum, and that the policy expires on the Zist day of July next, at noon. anderwerken was tax on his coaches, horses, &c., and a license sides, while merchants were hot taxed on their stoc! Mr. Hill said the assessment was about $1,300 less than the value of the warehouses Mr. Tenney said that must be a mistake, as Mr. V. bad paid taxes amounting to about $250. Mr V. bad mentioned to him he would like to borrow money to pay his licenses. Afterwards he bor- rowed the money, without saying for what pur- pose. He had asked Mr V about it, and he said be had borrowed it to pay borrowed money. He then agreed to lend him money to pay his licenses, and be got it and paid them. “This shows,” said Mr. T., “I have a Christian Spirit, and am not in- fluenced by my feelings or prejudices. I shall vote to strike out tines.”’ Mr. Hill called for the ayesand noes on the Laid over amendment, and it failed by the following vote: Bl ss — resented the memorial of Messrs Yeas—Measrs.

Also, the petition of George Gray, superseder on the judgment of the Corporation against E.R. Abbott, asking remission of the tine and costs; re- ferred to grievances committee. Mr. Tenney presented a communication from W. HS. Taylor, asking a reduction of his assess- ment 25 per cent ; same reference Mr. Tenney presented the communication o Officer Barnaclo. enclosing a statement of several «itizens that, having seen Lim charged with being drunk at Daniel Brown's grocery, they believe the charge to be vindictiveand malicious, as they have seen him at that place often before and since these charges were protfered, but never saw him drank there; referred to committee on police. Mr. McCobb presented a communication from Edwin Boyce, residing outside the Corporation limits, asking on what terms he will be allowed to tap the water mains; referred to committee on water Mr Stake, from the committee on the Poor and workbouse, reported a resolution Providing for paying the expenses of the institution during the quarter ending March 3i, 1360; laid over.

In the Board of Aldermen ti passed with amendments inserting “insurances” and the time brought back to 3 da; ie King asked consideration of a resolution ap- propriating $150 for placing earth on Aqueduct st. to be expended under direction of the surveyor. Mr. Hill objected, and the resolution lays over. ineffectual motions were made to take up several resolutions. Unfinished business being in order, Mr. Tenney suggested that the channel resolu- tion wonld be first; but Mr. Fearson was of opin- ion that the Mayor's veto of the resolution in rela- tion to a fish stand came before it The President said the first b the May veto Mr. Tenney wanted to know how it was that business from the last meeting came before busi- ness left overat preceding meetings The President stated that, under the rules, un- finished business from the last meeting was’ first in order Mr. Tenney asked if the board was engaged in consideration of this business at last adjournment. Mr. Stake said when they adjourned they were ata point when that matter was near at hand, and would soon have been taken up. Mr.Tenney, in an emphatic matter, repeated his question, and said that of al] the untinisbed busi- ness that which was first in point of time should be first considered The President said the rule was positive that business of the last meeting was first in order Mr. Tenney said he should appeal from the de- cision The President said be could not appeal, as it was no decision, but a rule of the Board Mr Tenney said the Board was not engaged in considering this business at the last adjournment Gentlemen wished to get at it, but they had counted noses, and found they could not defeat the Mayor’s veto, and had let it rest. (Cries of question, question.) Mr. Tenney, excitedly. “I have right te speak on my appeal and intend to exercise it, and Mr. Fearson or no other gentle- man here shail take itaway. 1 intend to speak, and shall take what time | want.’ The President said the gentleman was restrict ed in time Mr. Tenney —‘Under what rule?” He then read from the rules, and emphasized the clause which saysa member shall not be jnterrupted while speaking. Resuming, he said it was not necessary to look at his waich, and went on to Speak on his iy er and {n conclusion said the Chatr was no doubt honest in his decision, but be had the honor to differ with him. and would ask the ayes and noes on his appeal Mr. Stake would ask the Clerk if he arranged matter to come first which was first in order The President reiterated the decision Mr. Tenney said if business left over from pre- ess in order was an solution iustructing the sane committee to ob: the passage of an act to authorize and empower this Corporation to levf a frout foot tex of 15 cents on all streets where water mains are laid for the purpose of ying expenses, Ac., with certain provisions; laid over. Mr. Williams cifered a resolution in relation to the eastern limits of the town; laid over Mr. McCobb asked the discharge of claims € sar a from memorial of Josep N. Fearson; grante Mr. Tenney offered a resolution in relation to the Long Bridge, which lays over. By consent of the Board, Mr Laselle, of the ceding meetings two or three weeks ago was left Guan Gazette, was admitted toa seat on | over we would never reach it, and said it had not the oor to report the proceedings. Mr. Hiil offered a resolution instructing the Recorder to foreclose the mortgage held by this Corporation on the tobacco warehouses, unless all iuterests, notes for licenses, tines, and costs due from Gilbert Vanderwerken are paid within 30 duys after the passage of this resalution, and asked the consent of the Board for its immediate con- sideration. He, stated that it might be construed that he had moved in this matter through malice, but it was notso. He had w@ited for some one else to take some action, as it was strange this thing was allowed to go on year after year. The Clerk states there is $225 Interest due; also, one note for licenses two years ago, amounting now to 3170 60, and another note amounting, with the ia’e e taccrued to $296.23. Besides these claims, the Corporation was compelled for its own safety to pay the insurance on the tobacco warehouses, after leaving them uninsured two weeks, because Mr. V. woud not attend to it, and the Board of Aldermen, could not be got together; and in ad- dition to ali this the Chief of Police holds judge- meuts to amount of $755.20, and there has been in his hands for overa year uncollected fines and costs amounting to $423 33, and he thought it was ‘alltime the matter was taken in band by some- Wody Me. Stake thought the fines had been remitted Mr. Hill said the resolution for that purpose passed the other board, but not this. You cando it now. Mr. Tenney was a mernber of the last Corpor: tion, and wasa little tenacious about it. They had passed a resolution somewhat like this, to compel him to pay his interest. which he did. It is as little as Mr. Vanderwerken can do to pay bis ‘uterest and insurance. If he did this be might be indulged in the $3,000 due on tae buildings. ‘The fines were a hardship, as it compelled him to pay three licenses in one year. The celebrated Corporation of I>57, generally knowy: as the Anti- Know Nething Corporation, took notes from Mr. V., the last Corporation tovk « note for licenses, and that note is now in suit. He fought against the enforcement of the collection of the fines and succeeded in this board, but it failed in the Board of Aldermen Mr. Stake moved to strike out the word ‘“fines.”? He voted for their remission in the last board Mr. Hill did not understand, and could not ap- rove, legislation for one t. The Chief ef Police has since February, tc. 19 cases; since March im that year, 19 more; another fine for wagon and a note for livenses since 1557. and none ef them pid.

Let us act for the public welfare as we defor our own — interests. [have no objection to extend he time if gentlemen think thirty days is too Dr. King esked if there was a suit. Mr. Hill said Mr. Caperton, the recorder, in- bim that suit was ordered, but he saw none entered on the docket. Mr, Stake read the resolution by the last Corporation ordesing the Recorder to sue. Mr. concer the Corporation was in want of every dollar due it, and he wes in favor of making Mr. Vanderwerken pay every dollar due for value received, but the fines Mr. V_ had not received value for. These fines compelled him to take out bis licenses and beeu the practice of the Board. On the question shall the decision of the Chair be sustained, the vote was — Yeas—Messrs. Dodge, Dunlop, Hill, Fearson, MecCobb, Stake, and Williams—7 Nays—Messrs. King and Tenney—2 ‘The Mayor's message was read. He objects to the resolution because it gives J. L.. Shackleford the whole west front of the market-house, and does not state when the $20 is to be paid, or how long he is to occupy the stand; also, it is unjust to the purchasers of benches in the market, and of- fensive to the residents Mr. Stake.—I shall vote for the resolution not- withstanding the objectious of Mr. Addison. Mr. Tenney said ue wanted the memorial of residents near the market read. Mr. Stake said it was useless to discuss the matter Mr Tenney. —I suppose gentlemen will de- mand the previous question ayain. { see the ga law ito be enforced here, but I tell you all you are afraid. Yes, ventlemen, ibe are afraid. ‘The question was put, suall the resolution pass notwithstanding the objection of the Mayor, and the Chair decided it carried. Mr. Tenney said he demanded the yeas and nays, and would tell them in time it required two thirds, and their action was not iegal unless the roll was called. ‘The roll was called, and the yeas were—Messrs ¢, Dunlop, Fearson, McCobb, Pickrell, Stake, and Willlams—7. Nays—Messrs. Hill, King, and Teuney—3 ‘So the resclution passed Mr. Stake.— We have a constitutional majority Mr. Tenney —Yes, and it is perfectly constitu- tional to call for the previous question The Long Bridge reselution, from the other Bea d, coming up— Mr. Dunlop saw no necessity for its passage Mr. Hill bad subscribed for the purpose Speci- fied, aud was willing to subscribe more, but op- an appropriation out of the treasury. t Mr. Dodge suggested an amendment. Mr. Danlop opposed the resolution in a few per- tinent remarks suggested that instead of a steam- Mr. Fearson boat excursion we have Mr. Vanderwerken’s o10- nibuses loaded, and thus an old debt can be paid. Wean have the excursion, and give bim $200 of oid fines in payment. 1 move that amendment Mr. Tenney advocated the passage of the reso- lation, said Mr. English favored it, and it did not originate with the Mayor, but was offered in the other Board by Dr. Riley. He offered his resolu- tion to-night because he could not reach this one, and under the President’s construction of the rales we should never have reached it. Whatever tue Clerk bappens or choses to pick = is first in order. He the passage of the resolu- tion at considera! length. Mr. Fearson replied at some length, and stated that we were here opposing the interests of Wash- ington, while we had before us a resolution asking them to take us over there. The President (Mr. Pickrell) called Mr. Stakd to the chair, and took the floor in favor of the res- lution. He advocated the measure with consider. able warmth, and in an able manner. He then spoke of Mr. Tenney’s remarks about inj pay in @ peculiar ition, and said that na colts ues in the last Corporation would recollect how previous question- had been called upon them the friends of the gentleman, (tet) We too much talk here.
