Lloyd (Alderman Magrader in the chair) made @ statement in reference to the charges for advertisement, &c., made against parties who were delinquent in paying water taxes, saying that parties who failed to pay because they had not personal notice of the tax, now had to pay, in many cases. more than double the original amount. He offered a res- olution referring the matter to a special com- mittee of three members, to devise some plac to relieve the parties affected from future ex- penses of the same character. Mr. Cross said that it would be impossible for the Collector to give each tax-payer per- sonal notice, as the water tax was received from the Registrar close up to the diay of ad- vertising the tax sale. Abundant notice w: however, given to delinguemt water tax pay- ers by the previons notices advertised by the Registrar. Mr. Lioyd said that the Registrar's notices ve only the square and lot, andin his own case he did not know the number of bis own square, And consequently did not notice the announcement by the Registrar of his lot, and now found it Advertised. Mr. Cross explained how utterly impossible it was in view of the large number of transfers of property to give personal notice to each de- linquent water tax payer; and in regard to the cost of advertising, this could not be avoided if the description of the Property was to be made sufficiently accurate toavoid a defective sale. Ibe cost of the advertisement weuld vary with the extent of the description, and when it wasa part of a lot the des: ption was necessarily longer than when it was a whole let. After some debate, the resolution was adopted: and a bill effered by Mr. Magruder on the subject, requiring the Kegistrarto make up the water list in season for it to appear on the Collector's books, was referred to the committee. The Chair( Mr. Magruder) appointed Messrs. T. ©. Lieyd, Gulick and Barr as the com. mittee. Mr. Lewis, from the committee on improve- ments, reported unfavorably on a number of bills tor street improvements, and they were severally considered and rejected. Mr. Barr, from the committee on police, re- orted unfavorably on the petition of Mich’! enneliy, and the committee was discharged from its further consideraiion. Mr. Tait, from the committee on health, re- ported favorably on the nomination of Dr. Charles Allen as physician to the Poor of the Seventh Ward, and the nomination was con- firmed. Mr. Cross presented statement of Justice Cull in reference to tine imposed on Nathan Blum, and reported frem the committee on claims & billto remit said fine: which bill was parsed. Mr. Noyes, trom the committee on schools. Teported unfavorably on Ceancil bill direct- ing & classification ef certain taxes. [The bill directed the Collector and Register to cause separate accounts to be keptof all monies paid into the city treasury by the colered people of this city frem each and every source of tax- ation, and report the amountso collected to the two boards of the Vity Council. As the tax-payers are not designated on the books by color, the bill was deemed impracticable as Well as injudicious.) The bill was rejected on the third reading. Mr. Owen, from the committee on wharves, reported fayerabiy on Council bill for pro- tection of the harbor ot Washington. appro- priating $500 for removal of sunken and aban- aoned vessels; passed.
