Lewis, from the Third Ward delegation, to whom was referred the bill te enclose the aeservation on K street north, between 8th and 9th sireets west, reported back the bill with an amendment to include a reservation north of I street, in the Fourth Ward. Passed. Mr. Utermehle presen‘ed the petition of P.W. Browning for relief, and the claim of Wise & Callahan against the Vorporation; which were referred. Mr, Utermeble, from the committee on police, reported back @ bill extending the time for the assessors to make returns until April; which was pacced. The first special order, the bill to provide for gratuitous vaccination in the city of Washing- ton. was then taken up and passed. The second special order, the bill to provide for the better security of persons and property by a more general lighting of the streets of the city, wus then considered. The bill came up on Mr. Utermehle’s motion to substitute ior the third section one author- izing the Mayor, with as little delay as possible, to erect lamp posts, not to exceed 1,000, at such points as the Ward Commissioners shall direct, the cost of erecting, lighting, cleaning, &c, to be paid out of the funds of the ward where euch Jamps shall be located. Mr. Lioyd moved to smend by a provision that the lamps enall only be erected upon appli- cation of the property-holders of the vicinity propcsed to be ligited. He thought there weré otber measures which more demanded an out- lay of Corporation money, and m a short time we would probably baye to pay $50,000 for beunties to secure volunteers. The amendment was lost, and the substitute of Mr. Utermehle was adopted. On motion of Mr. Plant, the amendments to the bill, to require one-half of the expense of lighting, cleaning, &c., to be assessed upon property bear the lamps, were reconsidered and stricken out by the following vote, viz: Yeas.—Messrs. Gordon, Gulick, Lloyd, Sar- gent, Turton and Semmes. Nays —Messrs. Brown, Clephane, Lewis, Plant, Pepper and Utermehle. The bill as amenced was then passed by the following vote, viz: Yeas —Messrs. Brown, Olephane, Lewis, epper, Turton and Utermehle s.—Meesrs. Gordon, Gulick, Lloyd, Sar- gent and Semmes. The joint resolution in relation to the erec- tion of a school building in the second school district, came up as the third special order, (the school committee having reported upon it adversely,) and it was laid over till next Mon- day night. Reports from committees were made as fol- lows:—By Mr. Turton. improvements, petition of J. Mattingly for removal of a pump at 7th street west and M street south, reported back and laid on the table: By Mr. Utermehle, po- lice, bill to provide the species of scales to be used inthe public and private markets; laid over till next meeting; By Mr. Pepper. im- provements, bill to make a gravel footwalk on . the south side of E street north, between 20th and 2Ist streets west; also a bill to lay a gravel footwalk along I street sonth, from 1ith to 13th east, which were passed; By Mr. Lloyd, finance, bill to revive ar act of 1863, to make appropri- ation to advance money for an increase of the pay of the Metropolitan police; also a joint resolution instructing the committee to repre- sent the corporation before Congress to ask that body to inelude in all charters hereafter franted to city railways a proviso allowing the corporation to tax the cars, whieh were passed; By Mr. Plant, fire department, bill to repair the truck and apparajus of Metropol- itan Hook and Ladder Company; passed, Mr. Clephane moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill tor the relief of Samuel P. Jones was rejected at the meeting of the Board two weeks ago. (Mr. Jones, it will be remem- bered, is a blind man, and desired to use an en- closed stand in the iron railing at the Avenue House, providing: the consent of the proprietors be obtained.) The bill was reconsidered, and again lost on third reading. Mr. Sargent, from the committee of confer- ence, on the disagreeing votes ot the two Boards on the bill to regulate and increase the salaries of the teachers of public schools. reported a bill as agreed upon by the committee as fol- lows, viz:—To teachers of male mmar schools $1,375: to teachers of female grammar schools $675; teachers of male intermediate schools $625; teachers of female intermediate schcols $5.0; teachers of secon schools $500; teachers of primary schools $150; and sub- assistants $150. Upon the passage of the bill Mr. Lewis called the yeas and nays, and the report of the conference committe was agreed to by the Jone wing vot, viz: Yeas.—Mesers. Brown, Clephane, Gordon, Lloyd, Pepper, Sargent, Turton, and Semmes. Nays.—Mesers. Gulick, Lewis, Plant and Utermehle.

Now, in view of these facts, and as.an actof justice to the tax-payers and the citizens gen- erally, the undersigned would respectfully ask our honor and the city councils, to use all ororable means to indace Congress to grant a charter to the « Peoples’ Gas Light Com: td which guarantees to furnish gas at this reduced price, which will prove a saving to the cor- poration alone of thousands of dollars. Your honor will observe that the undersign- ed, the proposed corporators of this Company, are reliable and well known citizens, andevery ‘Way responsible liarly and otherwise for the faithful fulfillment of all they promise. Signed—Thomas. Lewis, L. Clephane, BD. C. ‘W. Thompeon, Saml. Fowler, and Forney, J. J.C. McKelden.j er introduced the following bills. which were passed: To continwe brick centres of gutteron west side of Sth, between K and N streets; to take up and relay gutter on M street, from 6th to 7th streets; to Imy flag foot-way on south side of N street, across 4th sireet west; to grade and gravel Ridge street. Mr. C. Wilson introduced the following: Be it resolved, That there be appointed a joint special committee of three members of the ‘card of Aldermen, and four members of the Board of Common Council be appointed by the Terpective presidents thereof, whose duty it thall be to ask and urge Congress for authority to erable the Corporation to own and manage coal gas works for the manufacture of all gas required and consumed in the city of Wash- ington, under the following restrictions: 1. To be authorized to issue bonds, not ex- ceeding £600,000 in amount, at arate of interest not exceeding six per cent., for the purchase and erection of works until the present gas light company are offered a fair and jast price tor all of their present works and fixtures, to be determined by arbitrators mutually chosen. 2. The title of all the property to be vested in fovrteen trustees and their successors, two frcm each of the present wards, to be appoint- ed by the Mayor, by and with the advice of the Board of Aldermen, and those first ap- pointed to hold their positions severally from one to fourteen years; all vacancies occurring by death or resignation to be filled by the re- maining trustees. 3. Gas to be furnished to the Government at $250 per thousand feet, withont deduction; to private consumers at $3 per thousand, with 10 per cent. discount for prompt payment, if paid within five days after the rendition of the bill 4, All corporation lamps to be furnished with ess withort taxation or cost to property bor- dering on the street lighted Mr. Wilcon said he introcuced this resolution to harmonize all difficulties, the committees on the District being sick of the conflicting peti- tions for charters of gas companies: and as there was but litle dcubt but that large profits were to be made from gas, it was proper that our citizens sheuld reap the benefits of the profits. If Congress would adopt these sug- gestions and the Corporation takes hold of the matter, over ten thousand dollars could be saved annually in lighting the Corporation Ismps, He had heard two ot our citizens say that they would pay the intereston the bonds for one-half the profits. Mr. Shepherd expressed his hearty concur- rence in the resolution, except as to that por- tion locking to the purchase of the present gas company’s works. The gas mains would tankrupt any company, beingin aleaky con- dition; indeed, a person could not go two squares without smelling gas, and if a pick is struck into the street the ground is found sat- urated with gas. The cause of the company endeavoring to increase the price is that they haye lost and are losing by leakage of mains trom 25 to 33per cent. of their gas. He argued against fixing the price of gas at’ $3 when it could be furnished for less. Mr. N. D. Larner theught the wisest course to pursue wes to goright to work. If we wait two weeks. by that time some private company moving to get a charter of Congress will suc- ceed, and the purpose of this bill be defeated. Mr. M. Larner was also in favor of prompt action in the matter. If a private company was te get the charter he was satisfied the citi- zens would be no better off than they are now; especially ifthe company whose petition was being carried around the streets should suc- ceed. The names of come of the parties in that company were not calculated to inspire confidence on the part of the community. Mr. Ellis moved to strike out all the resolu- tion relating to restrictions as to prize, &c. Mr. C. Wilson argued that the resolution in that shape would be imperfect, and moved that the clause acking authority for the Corporation to issue bonds be inserted; which amendment ‘was accepted by Mr. Ellis. Mr. Shepherd offered the following as a sub- stitute, but atterwards consented to offer it as an independent resolution : Resolved dc. That we respectfully protest against any increase in the rates now piid for g4s in the city of Wastiington, and do hereby Tequest Congress to give the city power to establich gas works, or to grant a charter to such company &s propose to furnish gas at $2.50 per thousand feet. The resolution of Mr. Wilson, as amended by Mr. Ellie, was adopted; and the resolution of Mr. Shephard, after being amended, on motion of Mr. N. D. er, by the insertion of a pro- viso that nothing shall be construed as an indorsement of or a request for @ charter for any private company now applying, was also adopted. ¥ Mr. Shepherd reported a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of two members of each Board, in conjunction with the Mayor, to wait on Congress and ask power to issue bonds, bearing six per cent. interest, to the amount of $150,000, for the purpose of erect- ing 8 new Center market-honse upon the site of the precent nijrkel-house, with the under- standing that the revenue arising therefrom shall be applied to the redemption of the bonds; which was passed. Mr. Ellis asked that the committee on the fire department be discharged from the considera. tion of the petition of D. D. Foley ia reference toa fire ladder. Discharged. The following were reported and i- Bill for work done on K street bridge, (from the improvements committee;) to take up and reset fire-plugs, (drainage committee;) to defray expences incurred in introducing water in the Northern Market, and bill making appropria- tion for the improvement of the Northern Maar. ket, (market committee;) to purchase 500 feet of nore for the Franklin Fire Company, (commit- tee on fire department.) Mr. Raub offered a resolution instructing the committee on wharyes to inquire whether the wharf now building between éth and 7th streets does not obstruct the channel. Passed. The bill providing for the removal of cinders and coal ashes was up as the special order, and after some discussion was laid over. [ape bill provides that all persons occupying uildings shall keep vessels for the reception of cinders and coal aghes under a penalty of 1yom one to three dollars. No cinders or ashes shall be thrown into any street or alley, but delivered to the ash gatherers under & penalty of not less than ten dollars. The commission- ers of improvement shall employ carts to re- move all cinders and coal ashes tram dwellings and places of business, (blacksmith, machine and similar shops excented,) who shail visit every dwelling daily from October ist to April Ist, and remove all cinders, &c. The cinders and ashes are tobe kept in such places as the ward commissioners may direct, and any per- fon failing to comply with his requirements shall be subject to a fine of not less than one nor more than three dollars. Any collector of cin- ders or coal ashes who shall unload his cart at ‘ny place than that designated by the com. Micsioners shall be subject toa penalty of ten dollars.
