Council PROCEEDINGS, April 19.—Board Aldermen.—The Chair(Mr. Semmes} laid Derore the Board @ communication from the Mayor, asking for an appropriation of $600 for the pur. poset purchasing medals and premiums to be istributed to the most meritorious pupils of the public schools at the close of the’ present -School year. Referred to committee on schools, Mr. Brown introduced a petition of Chas. ure, for permission to erect a building. Re- erred, The act to establish a fish wharf was taken fron the table and referred to committee on police. meparty of committees were made as follows: Mr. Lioyd, finance, reported back a joint reso- lution asking Congress to amend the charter to allow an increase ot the tunded debt to $200,000, and asked to be discharged, asa similar bill had been passed heretofore; discharzed. Also, & communication relative to payment of bounties; which was laid on the table, Mr. Lloyd remark. jagithas he a a sialoment in the Starthis rnoan which. ag PRT AA to To j apparently obviated the necessity of making’ kx further appropriation for bounties. [The state ment referred to was the letter of Provost Max. shal General Fry to Mayor Wallach, published in the Star yesterday afternoon} By Mr. Pep- per, improvemests, bill to improve ist street east, from H to K north; bill to relay and widen the gutter on the east and west side Of 5th street, except the Government square—both of which passed; bill to gravel and grade 5th street west, from. H north to New York avenue; [Mr. Uter mehle opposed the passage of the bill, for ne believed the streets should all be payed—not graveled, as the latter process did not appear to benefit the streets in the least. He saw no way of inangurating a system of paving except by refusing to grade and gravel. Mr. Pepper advocated the bill, because he believed the public good demanded it, as it would be a long while before the paving could be done, and it ‘was useless to let the people wallow through the mud.] The bill passed,and sppropiates 8300. Bill to open, grade, gravel and bridge th street, from Rhode Island avenue to Boundary street: passed. By Mr. Utermehle, police, bill amend- ing the act establishing a fish wharf and dock; passed.

Mr. Lloyd introduced aresolution requesting the Mayor to inform the Board whether any police constable or ex-police constable is in ar- rears to this corporation for fines, penalties, or forteitures and if so to communicate the name of such officer with amounts of which they are in arrears. Passed. Also a bill to gravel Vir- ginia avenue from 6th to 4% street; passed. Mr. Sargent desired to make a statement tothe effect thata bili was Peading in the Senate creating a port ef entry in Washington, and that the bill had been referred to him as Com- missioner of Cust and he recommended that the customs Di remain the same but that itbe called the Washington District with a cellector here and a deputy in Georgetown. Mr, Plant, from the special committee to con- sider the complaint of Mr. Hazzard relative to giving a-contract repartod that they had exan- ined the matter and believed the Mayor was justified in bis action as Mr. Hazzard had tail- ed to filla former contract. Petition laid on the table. . The Chaif laid before the Board a communi- nication from Wm. B. Webb, Esq., Superinten- dent of Police relative to collection of fines by police officers and police magistrates Referred to_ Committee on police. Mr. Brown introduced a bill to fix the boundaries of the Second and Third Wards, aud it was reterred to the delegation from the Second and Third Wards. The bill designates the boundaries of the Second Ward as follows: All north of the Washington canal, and east of the boundary of the First Ward,and west of a line drawn north from the centerof the canal, through the center of 16th street west to the boundary. The boundaries of the Third Ward are proposed to be made as follows :—All that part of the city north of the center of the Wash. ington canal, and east of the eastern boundary or the Second Ward, and west and north ofa line drawn north from the center of the canal through 7th street west till it intersects New York avenue, thence through the center ot said avenue to the boundary of the city. [The changes propose to throw into the Third Ward that portion ot the Second Ward familiarly known as Goose Level, and in- cluding all now in the Second Ward east of 10th street and north and west of Rhode Island avenue.] Mr. Clephane moved that the bill be laid on the table until after the first Monday in June; but subsequently withdrew his motion, an: the bill went to the ward delegations. Mr. Turton introduced a bill to improve the alley in square No. 312, and it was passed. The following from the Board of Common Council were referred, viz: Act in relation to the disposal of stands at auction in the various markets of the city; bill toset the curbstones and pave the footway on the south front of square No. 246; bill for the improvement of an alley in square No. 373, in the Third ward; bill for the improvement of Water street; bill for the extension of the sewer in thealley insquare No. 429, in the Third ward; bill to amend an act to increase the pay of the oosperanon po- lice; and bill to open, grade and gravel lith street west, from P street north to Boundary. “The bill to supply a deficiency for grading and graveling 11th street west, from N to P street north, and bill to grade and gravel 9th street west, from F to H street south, both from the lower Board, were passed. Adjourned. Common Council—A veto message was re- ceived trom the Mayor, as follows: I return to you without my approval the bill which originatedin your Board entitied “an act supplement to an act entitled an act regulating the sale ofepirituous liquors and malt liquors,” approved .June 30, 1853. I do it because the language of the bill is vague and unintelligable. Iam ata loss to understand what is intended by the words “a rity of the free holders and housekeepers adjoining said premises.” If it means & majority of those contiguous to or in the neighborhood of the premises sought to be licensed, this is already provided for in the original act, which requires a majority of the housekeepers liv: on the same square. If by & majority of thé free holders and housekeepers adjoining ie meant, and as I sup- eee from the use of the words “in addition,” intended a majority of the free holders and housekeepers immediately next to and adjoin- ing the premises, there can be only two, one on rs side, a majority of that number is impos- ie. The question being, Shall the the bill pass, notwithstanding the veto of the Mayor—it was decided in the negative, and Mr. Shedd ob- tained leave to withdraw the bill. Also, 8 communication announcing his ap- proval of the following acts: Making an ap- propriation to purchase furniture for the new school building in the Third School District; to supply a deficiency in the app! ‘iation for introducing Potomac water into Western Market-house; and resolution iti relation to the draft. Also, 8 communication from the Water Reg- istrar, stating, in answer to a resolution, that the total length of water mains laid by the general Government in the city, ineluding 2,000 feet within the Arsenal grounds, is 61,476 feet, and the total length by the tion, 245,607. He also states that the above and much other useful matter has been compiled tor a report, which will be farnished to the Council at its next messy Mr. H. ©. Wilson presented te penan, of John Williams, and introduced a tor his relief. Referred. The following were introduced and passed: By Mr. Ranb— lution calling on the Sur. veyor for an estimate for a sewer on 1ith street, from Pennsylvania avenue to the canal. Mr. Shedd—Bill to open, street west, from P to Mr.N. D. er—] puking Sa tion to supply & deficiency for ‘Veling 9th street west, in theSeventh ward. Mr. M. Larrer—Bill to repair alley in square 451. By Mr. Ferguson—Resolution - calling on the Register for a statement of ameunt ot fines by the police officers from the several wards from July ist, 1963, to April ist, 1864. har. id introduced a bill toamend the act Yegulating the sale of spirituous and malt li- quors; passed. This is ly the same as that vetoed by the Mayor, with the excep. tion that the words “@ majority of,” referring to freeholders and bo! pers adjoining are . dertake it. stricken ont, making it conform with the views of tbe Mayor. ; iT. Shepherd introduced the following: , Whereas, the filthy condition of Pennsylva- nig avenue has become & great source of com- pet and abuce; and whereas, the neglect to eep it in proper condition is unjustly chargea upon the municipal authorities, while the con- trol of said avenue is under the entire control ore ones. ee Goxernment, this Corpo- m decirous of remedying this evil, “d. bereby as . Resolve, That the Mayor be, and is hereby @uthorized and requested totender to the Com- micsioner of Public Buildings a sufficient force to clean and water eaid avenue, until such lime as he may be able to keep it in proper conaition, Mr. Shepherd said taat he was very mach surprised at seeing the Chronicle an article abnsing the corporation for not keeping Penn- sylvsnia in order, and urgin therefore, that the charter be taken from the city. He wish: the Government would resume the charter; and if the present c ondition of Pennsylvania avenue is a specimen of the manner in which they will attend to the keeping m order and re- pair ofstreets, the people of the country would see how they performed their duties. If the paper which mace these charges would devote some of its space to advocating the passage of the law granting additional powers to the city, it would be doing something creditable. The corporation had nothing to do with Pennsy]- yanla avenue; no business to put a broom oa it, but he wanted the city set right, and if Gon- gress would stop meddling with the streets, and five the Sorporaliontpe power, the stree:s would be kept in order; but when a valuable franchise was to be given, it was lobbied through and not given to the city, or any pro- vision made for the benefit ef the city. Tne condition of the Avenue was such that it would cure any dyspeptic in God's world if he would ride frem 7th street to the George- town bridge. The city had public spirit, and he wished to show that if Congress would not attend to Pennsylvaniaayenue, which belongs exclusively to them, the city is willing to un- Mr. N. D. _Mr Larner remarked, in_the same frequentiy came in for abuse at the hands of strangers, &c., because of the condition of the Avenues and streets, when the blame properly belonged to Ccngress, who had uot given the corporation power to levya@ tax sufficient to Keep the streets in repair and to make other improvements. Some of the papers that are eternally grumbling about the ts would be much better employed if they would urge upen Congress the propriety of amending the charter so as to give us additional powers. The resolution was adopted. Mr. N. D. Larner presented a petition of the Corporation police asking an increase of pay. and introduced a bill for that purpose, making the pay of the police $66.66 per month, and of the Ehict 20.53 5 * Mr. Ellis wished to know how those rates ‘would compare with the pay of the Metropol- itan Police. Mr. M. Larner said it made no difference what the Metropolitan Police were receiving, the Corporation should pay their employees These men were good officers generally, and they saved much money to the Corporation. The bill was passed. Mr. Shedd introduced a resolution requesting the Trustees of the Public Schools toreconsider the yote by which a rule reported by Mr. Rhees was adopted to erase the name of any scholar ‘who may be absent five days from any cause whateoever, and modify it so as to cever sick- ness or unavoidable absence. Mr. Shedd said that vote was a strong one, and the Trustees no doubt made a mistake -which they should rectify. According to this rule, if a scholar was entitled to the scholar- ship, and should be taken sick and continue so for five days, he was no longer a scholar. Mr. M. Larner thought that the action of the Trustees was monstrous. Mr. Ellis thought that there was some mis- apprehension as tothe rule. No child is dis- missed when absent from sickness, even if it bea month. They were suspended for non- attendance, but not expelled. * Mr. N. D. Larner gave an instance of ascholar in his ward who was detained from school two days by sickness and two other days on ac- ‘count of the death of a relative, and yet he was dropped from the rolls. % Mr . Ruff urged that the subject shorid be looked well into before a vote of censure was assed. Mr. Shedd said the resolution did not con- template a censure on the Trustees. r. Ellis moved to refer the resolution to the committee on schools: lost. s ‘The resolution was adopted. Mr. Barr, from the claims committee, reported adversely on the petition of O. Richardson, and the committee was discharged. Mr. Kelly, from the fire department commit- tee, reported bill to purchase fire apparatus tor the Western Hose Company; passed. Mr. Ferguson, from a special committee— Fifth and Sixth Ward delegations—reported the bill for erecting a new market-house at the intersection of E street south with South Caro- lana avenue, between 4th and 6th streets east, ehbroveiatia $15,000 therefor. Mr. Ferguson stated that the committee had endeavored to find a suitable location at some other point, but had been unable to do so. After some debate the bill was passed. Mr. Noyes called up Aldermen's bill for gray eling Rabie avenue, from 4x to 6th streets assed. e Mr. H. C. Wilson offered a resolution request- ing the Mayor to cause an examination of the new sewer on 13th street to be made, and report at the next meeting, whether it is in a safe con- dition from Pennsylvania avenue to the canal. The bill from the Aldermen, providing for the erection of a temporary building for the Perze- verance Fire Com; yy, Was passed. The Aldermen joint resolution to continue the present fire department organization until July 1, was taken up; when, after some debate, it was postponed to the next meeting. The Aldermen’s bill to grace and gravel 1¢th street from K street to Maseachusetts averue, ‘was passed. OFFICIAL. War Department, Adjutant General's Office, Washington, April 19, 1861.
