The report of the Clhuef Engineer of the Fire Department was reported back and ordered to te placed on the files. The bill to grade and gravel I street north, from Seventh to Eleventh, was returned from the Board of Common Council with sundry mendments, Which were concurred in, and the bill passed. Mr. Licyd introduced x bill entitled «an act for the ropa: and improyement of flag foot- ways.” It appears that the Mayor was some- what donbttul as to his power to repair flag flootways withont first coming to Conncils tor authority in each separate case; and this bill is in 0 give him power to act atonce and f | whenever the necessities of acase may demand immediate action.

Alderman always comes out jairly and squarely when he introduces bills And resolutions, But it had been assert- ed that the resolution was introduced at the suggestion the Mayor. He did not wish to accuse the Mayor of making votes for a par- ticular favorite; but it was well known how these things had operated m the past. Mr. Wendell said the work ought to have been done longago, He was willing, if gentle- men were afraid of losing votes, to put in a limitation, and not have the work commenced untilsfier the election. But let us pass the bill, and let the Mayor know his powers. Mr. Pepper, iu severe terms, rebnked Mr. Richards for introducing the election into this board on the discussion of a bill of this kind. Why, whenever 2n opportunity is offered, he eternally hacking at thisthing.
