He understood that work had been stopped on the new Uenter Market-house, and that an injunction haa been laid upon its fur- ther progress, on accopnt of its being upon a public reservation; and the erection of the house Dow proposed should be inquired into.

Referred to the ways and means committee. Mr. Raub introduced a resolution calling on the Mayor to inform the Board why the work on Some Center Merket House had keen sus. ended. . Mr. N. D. Larner stated that the reason was that some man had built a couple of houses near by which he thought would be hid by the market-house. > Mr. CO. Wilson remarked that tw. ago ® bill passed appropriating $ 000 erect building to connect. the two ‘Market and to extend back to the e PI new ought not to be, it in the center cipal gangway. He moved to ame: lution by inquiring, by whose the plan changed? This by come one, and it he ha he would have voted against the bill. Mr.N. D. Larner objected to any one attempt- ing to slap at the Mayor. F §3 of aH BgeeSee ete eset buildin, Mr. ©. Wilson said that he referred to the tee, Mr. er said that the Mayor was one of that committee. It had been asserted the line was onteide the building line, and he bas one to show that sueb was the case. YT. Wilson disayowed an intention to cast an imputation on the Mayor, and though he did not intend to vote for him, he would never allow any ene to cast any imputation on him in bis presence. The building was nine feet outside the building line. The first bill ~ posed that the engime-house should not be touched, but this engine-house had been torn down, and the rear line of the proposed build- ing placed in the line of the main gangway. Mr. N. D. Larner suggested that the member of the bu: ig committee belonging to the Board was absent, and moved that the resolue tion be temporarily laid over. Carried. The following bills were introduced and re- ferred: By Mr. Shedd—To pave the carriage way of E street from 10th to ith street. By for remecion of tne: So ME, Dione Pet afine. By ‘ 'd—Peti- es of J.

Mr. Shepherd moved toamend by suspending the publication until after the let Monday in June; carried. Mr. Shedd remarked that the public should be informed of the law: and although thedaws were now published in the Intelligencer, but few saw them. The laws should be published by the penny papers, that the people might be informed. : The resolution was lost—yeas 9, nays 10. Mr. Shedd also introduced a resolution re- gpeeuns the Mayor to inform the board why-+ Yr. Brennan uses the Corperation lamp at the corner of 13th and E streets as a sign for & steamed oyster saloon. Mr. M. er moved to lay the resolution on the table. Carried—yeas 10, nays 4. Mr. Shepherd introduced the following : Resolved, That the Mayor be and he is hereby Teqyeasted to urge upon Congress the passant of the bill now before the S-nate providing for the raising of @ loam or necessary taxation to eee ponies in case a further call for treops made. Resolved further, That the Mayor be also re- quested to urge upon the proper authorities that prompt and effective measures be taken to prevent recruiting in this District by persons and agents from other parts ot the Union. Mr. Shepherd said it would be well that the Corporation had this power, even if another draft is not to be made immediately. In the draft just closed over $100,000 had been ex- pended by us. Recently recruiting had been going on briskly for regiments in the States, and if something was not done to stop, should another dratt take place, their absence would be felt. Mr. N. DB. Larner said that Mayor Wallach had taken Captain Scheetz to task for recruit- ing men from the District for other States, and told him that if another draft was ordered here be should certainly claim that the men so re« cruited here should be allotted to eur quota. Captain Scheetz told the Mayor thatthe enlist- ments so made here for other States was by authority of the War Department, but that he took care to enlist none who were enrolled here in the District. The resolution was unanimously adopted. The following were reported from commit- tees and passed: From improvements com- mittee—bills to grade and gravel 9th street east, from C street north to Pennsylvania aye- nue, ami to improve Oonnecticnt avenue, trom 20th stzeet to Boundary; from claims commit- tee—bill for the rehef of T. Redeger. Mr. N. D. Larner, from the improvements: committee, reported @ bill to paye the car- riage-way of 6th street, from Pennsylvanja avenue to L street. Mr. Larner stated that the petition for this bill had been presented some months, but the committee had delayed action in hopes that Congress would give the Corpo- ration full power in the premises. This bill was not in strict accordance with the law, but the people wanted the street paved, and he was willing that they should doit. It nad been said that the Jaw passed by Ocamcens, had given the Corporation power to pave the streets at the expense of the outside wards; but such is not the case, for the bill provides that the expense shall be paid by the property holders ~ and the fund of the ward in which the im- provement is made. Mr. Larner referred to the bill passed by Congress in reference to paving the streets, which the Corporation At- torney had decided was impertect, tor while it gave the power to pave the streets, it gave no power to raise the money. Mr. Shepherd expressed his sorrow that the Corporation had again been bamboozled. Is seemed that all the legislation by Oongress for this District was of this impracticable, inop- erative description. The following bills were received from the Aldermen and passed: To make gutter on C street north and 2d street east; to set curb and cause pavement to be laid on the south front of square south of square 562; making gutter across B street north and Maryland avenue, at 2d street east; to take up and relay gutter on the sonth sida of N street north, between lith and 12th streets west; relating to the duties of citizens in relation to nuisances; to repair gute ters at I and 14th streets, The tollowing bills from the Aldermen were reterred: Bill to grade and gravel K street from 19th to 20th streets; bill in reference to the com- pletion of a well and erection of @ pump at the corner of Rhode Island avenue and P street. The consideration of the resolution in rela- tion to the alleged suspension of work on the Center Market was resumed. Mr. Wilson contended that the new building would make it necessary to tear down the present market houses, as the rear wall was rightin the gangway, and the new building did not connect them, one of the houses not be- ing touched, and the other was run into. Mr. Ellis defended the action of the commit- tee, who, he claimed, had power specially del< egated to them by the Boards to make altera- tions in the plans, and showed that such was the case by quoting from amendatory Jaws, and he claimed that they had gone to work in good faith. He was not opposed to the resolu- tion that the Board might get the information, but he did not know the work had been sus~ pended except for afew days on account of the *Gir Shepherd suggested that th gentleman r. erd sugges! at the mi from the Seventh ‘Ward (Mr. Wilson) had been reading the Chronicle. Mr. Wilson said that he held John W. Forney now.as he had always held him, as a mean, contémptible scoundrel ! Mr. M. Larner was sorry that a member of the Council should makea personal sttack on the gentleman—one of our citizens—who had endeared himself to all his employees by his courtesy. Mr- Wilson said that he had reference to the _ political course of Mr. Forney. He doubtless ‘was an estimable man in his private relations. Mr. Bees said here was where he joined issue with the gentleman from the Seventh Ward. He thought the political course of Mr. Forney, certainly since the outbreak of the rebellion, the most creditable part of his career, Mr. M. Larner said if there had been more like Mr. Forney, there weuld be fewer seces- sionists. = Mr. Ellis asked what Mr. Forney had to do with the market-house. He objected to the amendment proposed by Mr. as chasged, The by whose order the plan was changed.
