Boanp ov ALDERNER, August 27th, 1967.— The Ubair Iaid before the Board a com- munication from the Mayor stating that fhe had approved several acts passed by this Board. Also, @ communication trom the Mayor stating that he has approved the act entitted + An act establishing a pound fo. the sate-keeping ot dogs.” The Mayor says : ‘It ig tmpossible, however, to execute the act, for the ¢iret section authorizes the Mayor to construct a suitable pound for dogs, withou making an appropriation therefor. I recom. mend ‘he passage of an act making provi-ion for the erection of a suitable building for tnat purpose; ” referred to Police Commute. Also, a communication from the Mayor enclos- ing @ remonstrance from Messrs. Sykes & Cbedwick, C. G, Willard, and a mumber of offers, protesting against the use of Four- teenth street west, between E and F streets north, being used as a stand for hacks. Spyker, Chadwick & Co. ot W:llard’s Hotel, #ay: “Your petitioners have the bonor res pectfully to represent that they are the pr rietors of Willard’s Hotel. That their pi ic dining-room is upon the lower floor, ex. tending along 14th street almost the whole dis- tance from Pennsylvania avenue to F street. Itis lighted and ventilated solely by windows nearly on the Jevel of i4th street. Tkat in order to render the dining-room more pleas- antand agreeable, more than ordinary care bas at all times been taken by your petition- eTs to keep this portion of 14th street, and es- pecially the side-walks and clear, for unless it is so the large number of guests frequenting the hotel are greatly an- noyed, and the room would be rendered unfit for the purpose for which it 18 now used. Your petitioners having been intormed that it is the design of your honor- able body to anthorize the establisament of a back stand op 14th street, between F streetand Pennsylvania avenwe, respectfully remon- strate, and beg that soseverean injury may not be by you inilicted apom them, but that you will protect them and their business from 80 greata disaster. Tne establishment of a hack Stand at tbat point, and upon so narrow 4 street, with the accumulation of filth and of- fensive smells necessarily accompanying it, ‘will render the dining-room of their hotel en- urely unfit for use, and will inflict great in. convenience upon the traveling public. it would also render the dadies entrance to the ho- tel very inconvenient and unpleasant: and there is not, as your petitioner believes, any neces. sity whatever for the location of a hack stand at the point named. nor will any public ine terestbe promoted by it, for there are other points equally conventent where hacks may stand withont inflicting any such private as well as public injury. and we therefore re- spectfully remonstraie against the proposed action, begging from your honorable body such protection in the enjoyment of our property as it is the right of ail to de- mand ‘and such as your corporate ac- tion heretofore warrants us in expecting now.” The petition from ©. C. Willard, Esq., pro- prietor of the Ebbitt house, enclosed protests from persons occupying offices under tbe Ebbitt honse and others on Fourteenth street, against making a hack stand of that portion of 14th street, between Pennsylvania avenue and F sireet. Mr Willard states that he is a friend to the hackmen and desires them to have suitable stands for their business, but the backs be permitted to stand on [4th reet it will not only injure the hotel busines: toanexient hardly to be imagined by tho unconcerned,but,by remaining, thestand will bean inyary tothemselves. Accompanying the petition ot Mr. Willard are communications from the following named persons engaged in business on 14th street: N. W. Barchell; Ja: R. Young, V. ¥. Tribune: H.W. Boynton, Cin chonalé Gazette, Obicago Tribune aud Missouri Democrat: Wo. W. Warden, Baltimore Sin and Philadelphia Ledger; George W. Adams, ¥. ¥. World, Obicago Republican, Philadelphia and Boston Herald; Thomas 6. Gon- ‘Ys N.Y. Herald; L. L.. Orounse, N. ¥. Times; Bigelow & Co; Ford & Hevkie; Black, Lamon Co. The petitions were referred 10 Police Committee. Tbe Obarr also laid before the Board a com- muuieation from the Mayor, in which he say “A more critical examination of the act whic! originated in your Board, entitled ‘An act amendatory of an act to drain the alley in square 514, and to construct a sewer slong 5th treet west, approved May 27th, 1567,’ since my coromunicarion of July 22d, giving reasons for withholding my spproval of thar bill, and your action thereon has made patent another And fatal objection thereto, compelling its return to you again. By an oversight, as I presume.on the part of the gentleman who framed the bill, the whole expense ot con- structing this sewer, which is partly in tae Third Ward, acrors interseetng streets and avenues, is to be paid out of the funds of the Fourth Ward. Under the provisions and isting laws, the expense of making this sewer acrors such intersections of streetsand avenuns must be charged in just proportions upon the funds of the Toird and Fourth Wards.” On motion of Mr. Moore, the Secretary wasordered to file tue bill as a Jaw; god the Mayor's com- munication was referred to the Improvement~ Committee. Also. a communication from the Mayot en- closing one from Benj. Severson, Esq., Me- cbanical and Civil Engimeer, making lengthy suggestions with reference to theimprovement of the Washington Canal. Hesays if the canal is arched over and reduced im width it will not be sufficient to carry off all the water from Ti- ber creek and the sewers, which will cause the water to back up, fill the cellars, burst the sewers. and cause sn inundation of many lower streets between the Capitoland 15th street. He suggests a plan for further improving the canal whiob will. he says, work no injury to any le- eitimate interest either public or private, but which if adopted will promote both, and that is to leave the width of the canal just as it Is for the presen'.and 'o open a navigable channel throuen its entire length just as soon as possi- wirer ble. This, he states, would make the income for the first year at least $2 Igy Which would more than pay the interest on %300.(100, and yet the object desired can be accomplished for Jess than $100,0i0 The chair also Iaid betore the Board a communication from William Morgan.

The Chair subsequently appointed Messrs. McQathran and Richards on the committee on the part of this Board. ¢ ‘The special order, being the act making ap- propriations for the public schools for the fisc year ending June 30tb, 1865, was taken up. ‘The bill was read, and Mr. Moore asked the reason of the increase in the appropriations. Mr. Noyes said that the additional amount ‘was needed for the support of new schools, it was inevitable that there should be a steady increase yearly. of the school appropriations, as the number of schools were increased. Mr. Moore thought it strange that the con- tingent expenses bad increased + so much more in proportion than the increase for teach- e1s for new schools. Mr. Noyes eaid that the increase for salaries for new teachers was net in proportion to the general incrense, for the reason that the new schools organized were all of the lower grade with teachers having & small salary, while the general expenses for the support of these lower grade schools were as great as for those of a higher grade, Mr. Richards said there were about schools now 10 be provided for. Mr. Moore still thought tie increase in ex- penees enormously large. Mr. Noyes said the bill bad been framed on the estimates of the ‘Trustees, and covered only the necessary expenses to carry ont ex- istug laws. The Trustees were gentlemen who labored, without pay, in the interests of the Pablic Schools, and they deserved our confidence and support in their efforts. He believed the Public Schools here were man- aged as economically and judiciously as any the country. In Boston the expense per pupil was $27 90, bere it was but $14.71 per pupil. In Boston the Superintendentot Schools re- ceives a yearly salary of 4,0): the Secretary $1,500, messenger, $500. Here the only sala- ries tor our School Board were $50) for the Treasurer, $200 for the Secretary aud $25 for meesenger. Mr. Moore said he would oppose the appro- priation for new schools durmg the coming year as not germaine to this bill. It provided tor schools not in existence. Mr. Noyes explained that the schools in question had all been authorized by acts of the Councils, but hey had not yet been organized. Mr. Moore moved a verbal amendment, which was adopted, to make the appropria- tion for new schools read, for new schools ‘already authorized, but uot organized;” and the bill was passed. ‘The next special order being the bill amend- atory of the act regulating and fixing the rates of fare of hackney carriuges, was postponed for one week, and ordered to be priated with the proceedings. Mr. Given, from the Committee on Finance, Feported back Council bill for repairing and refurnishing the Collector's aud Surveyor’s offices in the City Hall, witi an amendment. striking oui the provision for a partition across the hall, because it would obstract light and ventilation, which amendment was adopted, and the bill was passed. Also, reported ad- versely on Council bill making an appropria- tion for JD. Clark, attorney, and it was re- jectes Mr. Moore. from Improvements Commitiee, reported back, without recommendation, the bill to change the grade of north Capitol street, between ‘id and 4th streets east; which was returned by the Mayor withont his approval. and the question being: “Shall the bill pass notwitbetanding the objections of the Mayor tne bill wae rejected. Mr. Moore then tatro- duced a bill in reference to the grade on that s'reet, which he thought would overcome the objections of the Mayor. aud ii was paseed Also, introduced a bill to open, grade and pave an alley in sqnare 49%; passed Also, introduced a bill enacting “that Messrs: Burlew and Smith, the patentees of what is deecribed in their petition as +a vew and dur- able prvement superior toany now in use," be and are hereby authorized, notwithstand- ig any law tothe contrary prescribing the material of which pavements shall be con- strncted,to lay a sample foot pavement in front of the property of any citizen who may con- sent | thereto and also to lay a sample of their patent block pavement for carriage ways at the intergection of any unpaved street. which may be preferable to them for that purpose and be approved by the Mayor: Provided, that more than one of each of such pavements be jaid onder authority this act: that no expense shall be incurred therefore ey this Corporation and that if it shall be deemed necessary 10 take up or renew the toot pavement hereby authorived it ehaill be done at the ex pense of the owner of the property in, front of which it shall have been laid”: passed Also. reported a bill to grade and paye alley im square 756; passed. Also, reported Council bills to set the curbstones and pave the foot- ‘Ways and gutters on the east side of Ist street west, between Virginia avenue and E street south; the west side of 13th etreet west, be- ween N and Ustreets north; on the south side of N etreet north, trom 13th to 14th streets west; on the west side of 9th street west, be- tween Rhode Island avenue and K sireet nortb;and on the south side of N street north, between 10th and 12th eireets weet, with amendmente, which were adopted, and the bills passed.

Moore beld tbat the lower Board amend- Mrpt Was directly designed to strike out the ‘word ‘white” from the present school bill, and cause the colored children to be mixed with white children in our public scheols. Mr. Elyans said the matter would lead te de- bate, and he was in favor of postponing the consideration of the question. Mr Mc(stbran boped Mr. Moore would ‘withdraw his amendment. It would be time enough to meet the issue when made. Mr. Noyes eaid thar he doubted if it really was the purpose ot the lower Board to mix white and colored children in our public schools. He knew that many leading Repub- licans of the city wer decidedly opposed to mixing the races in the schools, as being inju- dicions and inadvisable in every respect. Mr. Ricbards thought there was too much sensitivenees about this matter. He did not believe tbat any considerable number of the members of tbe lower Board had any refer- ence to the public schools in passing the pro- posed amendment. For himself he bad never thought of any such effect of it. If we take ac- tion calling direct attention to the subject, gentlemen will probably draw upon them- selves from Congress just such legisiation as they profess to dread. r Elvans said that if his bill had been passed. providing for separate colored schools, all this difficulty would have been avoided. Mr. Moore said the bill of Mr. Elvans would be inoperative until it had received the sanc- tion of Congre ‘Tbe matter was further discussed by Messrs. MrOathran, Turton, Moore, Given and others. Mr McCathran moved to postpone the fur- ther conrideration of the question. ‘Mr. Given thought it best to meet the sup- posed issue now. He thought that the rejec- tion of the Council amendment would answer every purpose. He wanted the colored chil- dren educated, but wanted the lines drawn between them and the whitechildren. If Con- gress imposed this burden they had power to do so, but be would advise resistance to the bitter end. He was oppored to postponement, and in tavor of meeting the issue in a manly way. Dir. McCathran said be was ready to meet the question, and was Teady to resist the at- tempts of the lower board to bring about amal- gamation. It Congress thought proper tosad- die this thing upon the citizens of Washington, he was wiiling to wait until Congress should do so. He hoped that the question would be postponed until next meeting night, as it was now growing late, and gentlemen would like to vive their views on the matter. Mr. Moore withdrew his amendment, and the motion of Mr. Noyes was adopted, and tne Board retused to concur in the amendment of the lower Board, the vote heing as follows :— Nays—Mesers. Elyans.
