CORPORATION AFFAIRS. CTL Procrgpines, August Sta.—Board q, Aldermen.—The President being absent, the ice President (Mr. Turton,) called the board to order. Mr. Plant presented the petition of John Gordon and others, forthe repairof a carband laying of a gutter on Catreet, between 13thand 15th. Referred. Mr. Canfield presented a communication from D. E. Irving, and asked its reference to the committee on police; and also ® commani- cation from W. W. Kiroy, for which he asked the eame reference, at the same time stating that both communications were highly disre- epecttul in their tone, and shonld meet with the censure ot the Board of Aldermen. They were notsuch communications as should be Presented to the board, but, as they had been sent to him, he thought they shonid bereferred to the committee on police. Mr. Noyes presented a petition of Mrs. M. A. Bannerman, mains that the Councils will take some action looking to the abatement of the embalming establishment of Dr. Thos. Holmes, which 1s adjoining her boarding house. and which is @ source of annoyance to herself and ber boarders, on account of the stench arising by reason of the embalming of dead bodies. It is further requested that the matter be referred to aspecial committee, and not to the Board of Health, to whom such matters have been here- tofore referred and who appear to take no in- terest in the matter. Mr. Barr moved its reference to the committee ou health. Mr. Lloyd said these embalming establish- ments had been complained of heretofore as nuisances, and the matter had been referred to the Board of Health, who, however, had appa- rently paid no attention to the matter. He thought it proper that tha matter shonld be promptly attended to, and a special committee could best do the work. Mr. Uanfield said a previous complaint of the same cort had been referred to the Secretary of the Board of Health, and the committee on police had been waiting in expectation that the Secretary would take some action in regard to the matter. iy Mr Noyes said that he was satisfied that nothing conld be hoped from the Secretary of the Board of Health in the correction of this or any other abuse. He knew that in the case of a similar nuisance of the most effensive char- acter the parties complaining had been able to get no relief through this official, whose whole energies seemed to be absorbed in drawing his salary. He believed the Secretary (who is sup- posed to be the active officer of the Board) had @ theory that rotten bodies, market-house offal, sunken building lots, (needing to be con- demned,) bone- boiling establishments, and hide and offal packing establishments were all rather salubrious than otkerwise, and should be encouraged witbin the city limits. Mr. Lioyd said the health law was a nullity, and the amount paid to the secretary of the board, as salary, wasso much money thrown away. Mr. Barr withdrew his motion of reference, and the motion tors special committee was carried. ~ The chair appointed Messrs. Noyes, Mc- Catbran, and T, as the committee. Mr. Lioyd, from the committee on finance, returned the petition of Earnest Webber, for relief, and asked to be discharged from its further consideration ; so ordered. Also, from the same committee, reported back the com- munication of Samuel Kirbey, relative tothe yepair of alley in Square No. 431, and the papers were, on motion, referred to the city surveyor. Mr. Barr, from the committee on police, re- ported favorably upon the nominations of the following police magistrates, viz: S. Drary, First Ward; T. G. Clayton, Second Ward; W. Thompson, Third Ward; G. L. Giberson, Fourth Ward; and B. W. Ferguson, Fifth Ward, and they were confirmed. Mr. Barr, from the same committee, also re- pores back the following nominations for po- lice constables, and they were confirmed, viz: James Lynch, Chief of Police; First Ward, Simeon Garrett; Fourth Ward, Maurice O’Con- nor and W. W. Kirby; Fifth Ward, James M. Busher; Sixth Ward, Wm. H. Lusby; Seventh Ward, George Hepburn. The nomination for the Second and Third Wards were latd over for one week. Also, the same committee reported back the following nominations for scavengers, and they were confirmed, viz: First Ward, John Chisholm and John R. Fowler; Second Ward, James O. Whitney and Michael Stahl; Third Ward, Peter Schweitzer and Geo. Fospaght; Fourth Ward, Joseph Glosbeck and Leonar Simmerhaden; Fifth Ward, Dennis Nalley; Sixth Ward, Andrew Bargess; and Seventh Ward, Lewis Watson. On motion of Mr. Lewis, a committee of one member from each Board was authorized tobe appointed to urge upon Congress the necessity ol vemenying the nuisances occasioned by the Washington Canal. Mr. Gulick, from asylum committee, report- ed favorably upon the nominations of Jas. N. Callan for clerk to the commissioners and J. antes tor resident student, and they were co: irmed. Mr. McCathran, from the committee on un- finished business, reported back the petition of James B. Fry, to grade and gravel D street south; bill to grade and gravel C street south, from 3d to 4th east; bill totrim and gravel New York avenue, from 15th to 19th streetwest; pe- tition of John Baker and others, requesting the repeal of the pound law; and a letter from Geo. R. Wilson relative to committee on drain- age, and they were referred to the appropriate committees. The following from the Board of Common Council were referred, viz:—Bill for the relief of the Franklin Fire Company; bill to take u, and relay the gutteronm the north side of street north, between 12th and 13th west; bill to pave the carriage-way on F street north, from 7th to 14th west; bil] to construct a brick arch over the creek on North Capitol street, Third Ward; bill to repair the gutter on the south eide of I. etreet north, from 9th to 10th streets west, Third Ward; bill to repair the gutter on the east side of 10th street west, from H to I north; bill to supply a deficiency in the appropriation for laying a gutter across H street north, on the east and west side of 7th street east; bill to pay for extra work on the new school-house in the Sixth Ward; bill to improve square No. 677, and bill for support of the public schools for the year 1965. On motion of Mr. Noyes, the Conncil bill to lay gutters across 11th street west, at Virginia avenue and C street south, was called up and assed. 2 The bill to improve the sanitary condition of the city was amended in Uommon Council 80 as to appropriate $3,000 instead of $10,000, and the amendment was concurred in. Mr. Plant introduced a bill for a sewer on 14th street west, from K street north to the ca- nal; and it was referred to committee: on im- provements. Adjourned. Common Council.__The Board met at the usual honr, and was called to order by the President, ‘Mr. Lioyd. All the members pres- ent except Messrs. Edmonston, Stephens, Wil- son, Ward, and Walker. A communication was received from the Mayor enclosinga communication from Lieut. Col. Oberteuffer, 24 Pennsylvania artillery, calling attention to his communication of May last, in which he asked remuneration for dam- ages sustained by his carriage being precip!- tated into an excavation for a sewer. Col. O. claims in addition to the amount named in his first petition ($160) $20 for hire of yehicles since Bei has Bea deprived of the use of his own. ferred. The Chair laid before the Board a petition of Joseph Schafiield, asking that he may be al- lowed to continue the manufacture of icecream by steam.

He thinks that the salary of the Chief Engineer ($1,200) should not be reduced, and that that officer should b+ a firm, active, and determined mao. The commissioners propose to reduce the foremen’s ealaries, and allow them te engage in other business, of which Mr, P sees no advantage except thatitis to give the te particular men. and he names the following active and efficient firemen who applied forthe places and agreed to give their undivided attention to their duties: Thompson and Stroble, of the Perseverance; Maddox, of the Franklin ; Bur- gess, of the Anacostia; Lowe and Tait, of the Columbia.

He sees no objection to the in- crease of salary, but there is no nevessity to increase the salary of the steam engineers, as by the time the engines arrived it will be found difficult to get good men at the increased rates, as the wages are advancing daily. In relation to the addition of another hook and ladder company, he says it will only add an annual expense of $2,000, without being of any benefit. There isno necessity for an in- crease of the number of companies, if they were properly located, which, he says, is not the case. One engine should be located near the Capitol, another near the Post Office (and the hook and ladder should be housed with this one), and the third near the corner of New York avenue and J5th street. If this were the arrangement, one engine and the track would be ready to work in any partof the city in ten minutes, and in the heart of the city, where nine-tenths of the fires occur, they will be ready to go to work in fiv2 minutes. r. Peabody’s arrangement would leave all that large por- tion of the city south of the canal “out in the cold” altogether, and the allegation that by this location of engines any part of the city can be reached and the engine feady to be worked in ten minutes, is the greatest absurdi- ty meeenevle ee It is & mistaken idea about pulling down buildings when they are on fire, and this means should be applied only when all others tail. He is confident that, with proper management of the department, if the engines are located properly and the tele- graph in good working order, in nine cases out out of ten the fire will not get out of the build- ing in which it originates. Mr Peabody says that the absence of fire companies at the fire in the Sixth Ward on the 2itn of July; was owing to the old department having been abolished before the new one was organized, which was the fault of the Mayor and Commissioners, as they had ample time to putit in operation without the steam-en- ginee, and it would bave been more efficient than the old department.
