The Chair !nid before the board a communi- eation from the Mayor announcing the ap- Proval of various acts. Tbe Chair laid before the Board a communi. cation from the Mayor, tranemitting 8 commu- nication trom Mr. ©. ©. Wight, chairman of committee en vocal music, of the Board of School Trustees, asking that the salary of the Music teacher may be rai-ed to $1,000, and that &n appropriation be made for that purpose. Referred to the cominittee on schools. Also, the report of the Intendant of the Aer: lum, tor September, which was referred to the committee on Asylum. The following were presented and referred: By Mr. Morgan—Petition of Wm. McUnitehen and others, for the extension of the grave! walk on tbe east side of square No. 102). By Mr. Lioyd—Petition ot Daniel Ragan, tur the im. provement of D street south, between 13th and isth streets west. By Mr. Turton—Petition of Jas. D. Drainey, for remission of a fine. By My. Ggrden— Petition of Sarah Otterbach and others.- Mr. Lioyd, from the committee on finance, reporied back the Common Council bill equal. izing the compensation and salaries of certain Corporation officers, with a substitute by way of amendment. The substitute requires that the Ward Commiesioners shall not engage in any other business. It also increases the salary of the Water Registrar to $2,(00, and abolishes the salary of the Inspector and Sealer of Gas Metcrs, aod makes no appropriation for an increase of eslary to the Mescengers of the Eoards of Aldermen ana Common Qouneil. Ths bill passed as amended. Mr. Pepper, from the committee on improve- Ments, reported back the following bills, which were read a third time and paseed, viz:—Bill to grade and grayel F street south, between Third and Four.and-s-half streets west: to grade and gravel I) etreet couth, between First and Second strects west; to take up and relay the gutier across K street, on the east side of Twelfth; to extend the masonry of a culvert at (© street south and Fourth street east; to lay a flag footway across Nevenih street east, near (4; to relay and widen the gutfer on D street, be. tween Second and Third; to grade and gravel M street, fiom Fourieenth to Fifteenth west, and to take up and relay the gutter on Eleventh street west. Mr. Pepper also reported favorably upon the bill to grade and gravel D street south, from Thirteenth to Fourteenth streeis west. Mr. Utermehle opposed the paseage of this and similar bills on the ground that the work could not be completed this fall, and by next spring an additional appropriation would prob- ably be required. Mr. Lloyd said he had introduced the bill because he believed the work to be @ necessary one. Hehad no doubt but that too many of this rort of bills were being introduced, and would agree to strike hands with the Alderman aad stop tbe matter. He desired, however, to have this Hill pasted, and would also ask te amend the bill by inserting $1,900 instead of § und to haye it extended to Fifteenth street. Mr. Pepper theught this discussion was all a waste of time. He reported ali bills drawn in proper forms, and presented as necessary by any Alderman, and did not eeneei necessary to make a personal exam: Mr. Utermehle, in reply, argued that it w: the duty of the chairman of each committee to examine his bills carefully, and that he was * delinguent of duty if he did not Mr. Pepper, in reply, stated that he had been | in this and the other Board a long while and had been chairman of the committee of im- proviments for seven years, and he woulc not now Le catechised and told what was his duty. He knew his duty and did it, and would not stind under the imputation of his colleague. The bill was finally read « third time and passed. Mr. Turton, from the same committe, re- ported the bill to Ivy a flag footway at the in- | tersection of G strect north and Twenty-third | street west: and the bill to gravel a footwalk in the Sixth Ward, which were passed. Al from the committee on drainage, Mr. Turio } Teported formally an act to erect a fire ping j on the ecouth side of E s‘reet north, betweer Thirteenth and Fourteenth west, which ws passed. Mr. 1 termehle mcved to take up the nomi- baticn of F. R. Dorsett, as Cominissioner of Improvements for Firet Ward, but on motion o! Mr. Turton, the nomination was postponed | ull next meeting. Ar. Utermebie, fiom the committee on police, reported back the bill to license, tax and regu- late taverns and ordinaries, with an amend. ment striking out the third section and requir- arg that the ailidavit be signed by six respectable while treehotders. The question of the passage of the bill was discu-sed by Messrs. Lioyd, Sergent, Plant, Utermelile and others, | ali of whom agreed that the loose manner in which licenses were granted was a source of much evil, «nd that it was necessary to throw greater guards around the whole matter. Mere | ygrog-thops were becoming entirely too plenti- ful; and in order that the bill might be pre- pared #0 is (o insure preater care in the grant- ing of licensee, it was recoimitted. ‘The followinig were introduced and passed: By Mr. Gordon—Hill to haye water and gas conveyed to the Washington Asylum, and Dill to purchase a hose carriage for the Anacostia Fire Company. Ky Mr. Utormehle—A resoln- tion making an appropriation of $10 out of the contingent iund. By Mr.Galick—Bill toextend ; the sewer at the intersection of Fourth street eastand Pennsylvaniaayenue. By Mr. Plant— Bill for the repair of the canal bridge. Mr. Gulick, from the committee on claims, Yeported back the act for the relief of BE. E. Barnes, ond it was read three times and paased. Mr. Plant, from the committee on canal, re- ported Javorably upon the bill to pay a defi- } ciency in the appropriation for improving the | Washington canal. {The bill appropriates #619.15, and is to pay Mr. Thomas for expenses incurred in his efforts to relieve the canal of its mod and filth.} Mr. Lloyd would vote againat the bill, and would aleocppose all other movements looking to appropriations for this purpose, unless he had positive Aseurance tpat the desired object— the cleansing of the canal—would be attained. | Here we had 8 $2,000 appropriation already ex- j hausted. and row another appropriation is j asked for. He ventured the assertion that the Boardhas commenced an expenditure the end ot which no one could ere. He would vote no | appropriation unless he knew what he was doing. Let gentlemen say how much of an appropriation would Secomplish the whele affair, ind then they would know what they were doing. Mr. Thomas had asked for a compensation of $2,000 to clear out the canal. It had-been given him, and yet it-was not suf- ficient, and now more was asked. Mr.: Plant desired to know what his friend (Mr. Lloyd) would do with the canal? Itmnst ; either be filled up oy it must be cleaned. Other and heavier appropriations had been made, and all to no purpose, and this experiment had been at least partially snecessfal, and promised | good repute: He thought the money well ex- pended. Mr. Sargent denied that Mr. Thomas had come to the Board and asked for either employ. ment or compensation. He had agreed to try his proposed plan as an experiment, and he (er Sargent) believed it had worked well. he experiment had not cost much money, and he (Mr. Sargent) believed that Mr. Thomas | could accomplish his object of cleaning the canal, and ought to be paid. Mr. Plant argned that any engineer who would examine the canal would find that by tile dredging process such an amount of mud could not be moved for less than #25,000, My. Lioyd said he would answer his friends trom the Second and Fifth wards by referring them to the proceedings of the Board relative to this subject. Otber gentlemen equally as experienced as Mr. Thomas, had made proposi- tions to cleanse the canal, and Mr. Thomas azreed to do it for $2,000. Others, too, nad | had made propositions, who had as much morans as Mr. Thomas, and yet none of them put the werk at so low a fignre. He (Mr. Lioyd) wanted it understood that he meant no aitack upon Mr. Thomas, and if he did not believe that his duty required him to loak eare- fully into this matter, he.wonld keep his moath slut, Other members of the Board understood | tbat Mr. Thomas wes to ¢lean the canal out for 22,40, The dai erected at Third street. had been washed away, and that would require an additional expenditure, 17 ‘argent explained that the dam referred to had been washed away because it had Been Ticked and torn py mule teams ove it. tae neyer intended as a bridge’ for mole 8. VBAvaeTs 2 7 Mr. Lioyd said any, one could casikjexpinia how the dam ‘went; bubthat was nol exactly i the quéstion in issue.; Ha believed y propositions were more feasible than of r. Thomae, but he had Voted for if merely on }. ely * es j lansbee—Kelief of Elias Davis. ; Way across G street north, at 2ist sireet west. - ceding eection, there be, and is hereby, levied a -slaliment becomes due, but may, at the option j-and fire-plugs and. public, by ° 5. | ser'nibhrd be, aba they are hereby, the score of economy; aud before he voted any more money he desired to know how much the whole thing would cost. He prot-sted against Mr. Thomas spending the corpoation money wihdut authority. Mr. Pepper said his understanding was that Mr. Thomas wanted the money in order to try the experiment, and he (Mr. P.) believed the experiment bad been successful, and Mr. T. ought to be paid. He therefore moved the pre- vicus quesiiom, and the bill was then read a third time and passed. Mr. Utermeble moved to consider the bill from the Board cf Common Council to license and regulate livery stables. This bill, he stated, was one in lien of the one vetoed by the Mayor, and it was drawn witha du» regard to the | Mayor's objections to the former bill. On motion of Mr. Lloyd the consideration of the bill was postponed until next meeting, and the Secretary was directed to procure 2 copy of the Mayor’s objections to the former bill. Common Couneil.—A commanication was re- ceived from the Mayor announcing his appro- val of the jollowing acts :—To repair gutter on east eide of Fourteenth street west, between M and N streets south; reliet of John Williams; rmendttory of an act to preserye the naviga- tion of the Potomac and Anncostia rivers, &c.; forimprovement of Lstreet south, from Seventh to Eighth east; to grade and gravel ( street north, from Fourteenth to Fifteauth streets West; for construction of gutter in the Sixth Ward; to repair gutter inthe Third Ward; for repair of culverts in the Sixth Ward; totake up “‘WEFKLY STAR. containing a grenter variety of interesting Teading than can be found im any other, le published on Friday morning. a-4 It mvariably contains the «Washington | News” that has made fhe Daily Bvening Star a SO generally taroughout the conntry Single copies (in Wrappers) can be = cured at the counter, immediately ommethe issue ofthe paper.

And be # further enacted, That all acts or parts of acts of this Corporation, inconsis- tent with this act, be, and the same is bereb;, repesied. Mr.N. D. La jared and ner said that the bill had been BP bad Leen sunmitud tothe Gorpg- raticn A'tterney, who. after examining it. cave as bis opinion that it had been preparad in com. formity with the late act of Congress. The first secti.n was read and adopted; ang Mr. C. Wilson moved to amend the sevond fection by striking out that portion providing and relay a portion of the alivy in square 166; relief of J. Thomas Thornton; to provide for the payment of the sixth instalment ot the prin- Cipal anc the half yearly interest due on certain guaranteed bonds; to paye guticr across Rhode Island ayenue, on west side of Fourteenth street; to lay water main in D street north, trom Thirteenth ty Fifteenth streets west; making Snpropristion for grading Third street east, from L street south to Pennsylvania avenue; to grade and gravel K street south, from Third street €ast to Sixth streei east; to repair gut'er in the Seventh Ward; to retit the curbend relay the gutter on west cide of Terth street, from Maryland to Virginia ax ennes; providing for a footway across Eleventh stree. west, in the Seventh Ward; tograde and gravel Ninth street west, frora F to H etreets north.

Also, one returning the bill to grade and grayel Indiana avenue, from Second to Fourth streets, witbont His approval, as the appropriation is Tade from the funds of the Fourth Wara, when the Fitth Ward should pay one-half the same. The chair (Vice President Barr,) said that the bill to regulate and license livery stables, tor which a veto message was received at the | last meeting, had been received, and the ques- tion now was “shall the bill pass, motwith- standing the Mayor's veto?” The question being “shall the bill piss!" it was decided in the negative. Yeas—Meesrs. Cantield, Follansbee, N. Larner, and Shedd—4. Nays— Messrs. Barr, Eliis, Farguson, Knight, M. Larner, McCathron, Noyes, Peake, that the Ward Commissioners may lay pipes when they may thik the interests of the ei.y require, and ineert, “it will pay six per cent. per annum on the cost thereof, or when the owner or majority of owners of all property binding on taid ervet shall petition for the same. Mr. N, D. Larner said that the object of this amendment wus to kill the bill. We have a law of Congress which says we may do so and fo, but it did not give the power which th. amencment propesed. In other words, we amencmeni proposed that they should keep on doing what they were doing now. The law under which they were now working provid-a that when petitioners enough to pay six per cent.on the laying of the pipes are obwined. the mains ehail be putdown. But ail do not take the water, and while many who petition do not tuke the water, and the rew who do have to keep on paying. Mr. ©. Wilson said that the whole inteation of the bill was to cut off the outside wards rrom the use of the water. He had no obje: letting people have water by the terms « bill, but he wanted the people to have the righ to choose whether they lave the water or uot. Under this bill four persons in a square couli have the pipes Inid, and the others would have to pay tor it when they did not want it. The bill gives the Commissioners the right to lay pipes anywhere when they deem it neces- sary. He (Mr. W.) proposed to give thy people the mains if they wished it. This was ai means of oppression on the outer wards. Mr. Larner asked, when the Corporation were laying foot pavement, if they asked property- holders if they wished it. | Mr. Wilson.—No, sir; ifa majority wants the Raup, and Stevens—10. The following were introduced and referred : By Mr. Barr—to lay flag footways ou Four teenth street, across N, O, P,Q, R,S,T.U, and W streets. By Mr. Ferguson—granting power to John Forrest to erecta frame build- | ing. By Mr... Wiison—petition for grading i street south, from Sixth to Ninth streets west. The following were introduced and passed: By Mr. Raub—Resolution caliing on the Mayor tor information as to whether ML. T.

By H. C. Wilson—For flag toot- My. N. D, Larner introduced an act to rega- Jate and liceuse livery siables—it being the same as that vetoed by the Mayor, with the exception that the third eection was amended 20 48 to require for stables to be erected in fu- ture the written consent of real estate owners and white housekeepers residing on the same side of the square on which is the principal | Owners, cr a majoril ent i is laid. The thickly settted parts city would all have their wacer pipes, | but if this law wis passed, the children and ! prandchildren of those who lived in his sec- tion of the city wouid never see a water pipe. Mr, M. Lanner contended that the system | defective, a fianced a case where under the bill a petition was sent in and a pipe laid, aud atterwards but two persons on the square j took the water. He had paid within four | years thirty dollsrs water rent, ::cre th encugh io pay for the pipe. The water x here was higher than it was in Baltimore. H- scouted zt the idea of oppressing the onter wards, and wouid call for the evidence. Mr. Wileon’s atnendment was lost, The cecond section was adopted, and— Mr. N. D. Larner moved to amend the thitd fection by inserting a tax of 55 cents per frout instead of $1, which was adopted. Mr. Shedd moved to amend after the 19:h line by adding “and in case said property owner refuses or neglects to pay the said tax, the Registrer shall collect the same yn accord- ance with existing laws regalating the collec- tion ef taxes on real estate;” wnich was adopt- ed. Mr. C. Wilscn moved to insert a proviso after the clance giving the commissioners power to impore a tax for laying the mains, that the yi of the owners, desire the tax to beso levied. He wanted this bill to De dove-tailed with the cld bill—wanted the peo- ple to have the privilege of taking water by paying the tix per cent. or paying the: fou: fout tax. One gentleman who lived in the city complained that he had Sieg $30 in four years for water; but he (Mr. W.), whe lived inthe outskirts, couldn't smell water, and he would pay £50 to get it. The authors of this bat seemed to be determined to oppress the le. Mr.N. D. Larner charged the gentleman (is. Wilson) with attempting to defeat the bill. He disclaimed all iutention of preventing any part of the city from receiving the water. Mr. Kanb said Georgetown had adopted a similar system to that proposed in this bil, and it worked well. Mr. Wileon said that as for Georgetown, some had never paid for aasings the pipe and never would, and a large majority of eople were oppored to the law. If the bill rede it optionak with the people to pay six per cent. on the foot tax, he was in favor of it, front of the stable about to be built, and of the side fronting immediately opposite, the Mayor to determine the principal front. The third readiug was ordered by the fullow- ing yote: eas—Meeers. Barr, Canfield, Follansbee, Fergueon, Kiight, N. 1). Larner, M. Larner, McCathyan, Noyes, Peake, Ruff, Shedd, Ste- yens—13. Nays— Messrs. Ellis, Kelly, Raab, H.C. Wil- son and C. Wilson—5. And the bill wae passed. The vill for the moré thorongh distribution of the Potomac water (introduced by Mr. N. D. Larner) was taken up as the special order: it is az fellows: Be it enacted by the Beard of Aldermen and Board f Common Council of the City of Wash- ingion, That immediately atter the pussage of this act, and annually thereafter, on. the first Monday in July, the Mayor shall, by and with the advice and corsent of the Board of Alder- men, appoint two persons, who shall be citi- zens Of Washington, who, together with the Mayor, shall constitute a Water Board for the City of Washington, 2nd shall be charged with all matters connected with the distribution of water through the city. ~ urther enacted, That the , and they are hereby, author- j ized to cauce the water-mains to be laid in any ttreet, avenue, Or alley in the city, where, in their jndgment, the interests of the city require them, and that the expense of the same be ia out of the Water Fund ‘hereinafter provided tor, See. 3.
