EVENING STAR Affairs in Georgetown. Boarp OF ALDERMEN. —Present all the mem- bers, the Recorder presiding. The Kecorder requested to be, and was excused from attend- ance for the evening, and Mr. Hyde, Vice Pres- Scent, took the chair. Mr. Hyde, from the standing committee, Tesolation favor of Jesse D. Bright: . The com- mittee material alterations in the res- olution autherizing the Mayor to contract for putting down b: ts, for keeping them in repair, and for tapping water mains; and offered @ substitute authorizing the Mayor to make a eovtract with Wm. Whelan & Co.; adopted. ‘The committee asked for more time to consider } the resolution in regard to the election of gas | lighters; ted. The following were received trom the Council :—A communication from the Mayor, recommending Mr. H. D. Cooke to fill a@ vacancy in the Board of Trustees of the Corcoran Charity Fand, and a resolution to this effect, offe: by the Chair, was adopted: a report of the Sergeant of Police with reference | to lighting the gas lamps, which, én motion ef | Mr. Thomas, was referred; an ordinance to | regulate and license hucksters and batchers Was read im the Council and referred to the | Aldermen. Mr. Simms doubted the right of the other Board to refer to this Board a matter which had originated with the Common Coun- cil. Messrs. Thomas and Cropley knew of no | precedent for such action, and suggested that the ordinance be Iaid on the tabie for fature consideration. The Chair said taat as the other Board had taken no action, this Board could mot act om the matter, except by framing an ordinance that would meet the requirements | of the case. After some farther discussion, on motion of Mr. Cropley, the ordinance was laid over. An ordinance for amending an ordinance for the government of the new Market House, approved May 27, 1865, was taken up, and after @ spirited debate between Messrs. Thomas, Simms, and Cropley, the vote was taken upon its passage, and it was lost by the following vote: — Yea—Mr. Simms. Nays — Messrs. Hyde, Cropley. ‘fhomas, and Hieston. An ordinance for the improvement of part of West street, Mr. Hyde objected to the third Teading, * and the ordinance {faid over under the rules. A resolution in favor of Walter S. Cox, paying the sum of $250 for his services as Recorder for the year 1865; passed. Adjourned. Common Council.—Messazes from the Mayor, appointing H. D. Cooke to fill a vacancy in the Beard of Trustees of the Corcoran Charity Fund; in reference to certain cross gutte: meeding repairs; enclosing the bill of W.L. | Fletcher for repairing two arches; and relative fo commissioners for grading streets, (recom- mending Joseph Libbey and John Fowler as commissioners.) were read and referred: as also were petitions of John Hurd for privilege of erecting & building in a street, and of cer- tain property-bolders on 3d street for a flag footway acroes Market, at 3d street. Mr. Cla. baugh offered a resolution relative to tenements or dwelling houses withont privies, probibit- ing the occupancy of such houses after notice of 30 days, until such houses are so provided, and subjecting the owner or owners toa fine ot $5 for every week the owner shall neglect to Petrie such privies as are required: referred. be report of the poor and worichouse for the quarter ending April ist, 1566, was referred. Mr. Goddard, from streets committee. report ed an ordimance for improving 7th street. be. tween High and Fayette; laid over. Mr. Da- vidson, from claims committee, reported a res- olution appropriating $250 to pay claim of W.S. Cox; passed. Mr. Orme, from streets committee, asked to be discharged from con- sideration ot the report relative to lighting street lamps, and that the same be referred to the Aldermen: agreed to. Mr. Libbey offered resolution requesting the Mayor to organize a Board of Health, in conformity with the ordi- nance of June, I-32, and moved that the rules be Suspended to consider the resolution immedi- ately, which was lost. The Tesolution was passed in its order. Mr. Goddard, from com. mittee on streets, reported a resoiution for the repair of certain streets. A resolution in favor ot Jobn Kaiser, amended by the Aldermen so as to appropriate $16.25; laid en the table. An ordinance to regulate and license hucksters and butchers. Mr. Wheatley moved to refer to ways and means committee to report at the first meeting in June: lost. Mr. Wheatley Moved to refer till the second meeting in May: lost. Mr. Orme moved to refer the ordinance tothe Aldermen; so referred. An ordinance to amend an ordinance tor the government of the new market house Mr. Libbey moved to amend by extending the limit for country deal. ers to 1(0 feet east of Washington alley; laid on the table. And the ordinance was passed— nays4. An ordinance for the improve- ment of a portion of West street was passed. A resolution of the Aldermen making an ap- Propriation for the contingent {und for the £lerk of the corporation wag adopted. Mr. vime introduceé 4 tesolution instructing the arket house committee to inquire into the expediency of reducing the rates of license for certain amusements, and fixing the rates for balls given imthe new market hall: referred. Mr. Barrett offered a resolution making addi. tional speropriahon for dredging the chakael 41 the Potomac river. Mr. Goddard, from the committee to confer with the Corporation cf Washington, reperted that the commit- tee bad dome all that it could do to induce that Corporation tomake an appropria- tion of £25,000 for the channel. They were@s one time sanguine of sucess, but have little hope Yow. The bill was passed, but witha rider providing that the Corporation of Georgetown shall raise the canal bridges to let boats through to Washington. It would seem that by spend ng $25,000 or $50,400 we may get $25,000 trom Washington. Mr. Libbey remarked that he bad consulted with some of the prominent ™members of the Aldermen of Washington, and | he thought that the main bar preventing the cor- dial co-operation of that Corporation is a mis- apprebension in the minds of the people that the Corporation refuses to raise the canal bridges in order to prevent the trade Passing to thatety. This is a misap; rehension, for it ‘would be to the interest of Georgetowe. if the beats of all kinds could pass through and in- crease trade. Kemove this misapprehension and we may obtain the co-operation of Wash- ington The resolution was referred.
