The Mayor says: ©The bill, as presented tu me, although properly sigaed by the presiding officers of both Boards, and other- Wise duly attested in form, has the following imdorsement of the chairman of the Committee on Enrolled Bills in your Board upon it, over his own signature: «This bill never passed the lower Board.” If this be true, it of itself would be sufficient ground for returning the bill with. Out my signatury; but there are other objections which I deem it iny duty to make known to the Councils. 1 the first place, the propriety of continuing the eanal, over which this bridge Passes, for the purposes of navigation, bas been, and is now more than ever betore, ques- toned by the most intelligent portion of our People, and the idea of using it for that purpose and as @ sewer at the same time, will, after a few years, when our popuiation bas increased, As it will increase, be considered intolerab! In my opinion, the time bas arrived when measures should be taken for arching and hiding from view this pesuilent eye-core: and 1 indulge the hope that before the present Con- gress expires permission and aid trom that source may be obtained by which the Corpora. tion will derive title to the ground reciximed by closing the canal, and thus will be opened to civilization and’ settlement this hitherto offensive waste. If this be done there will exist no necessity for constructing & bridge at the point indicated—indeed the expense of erecting anew all the bridges that span this ecbannel, as well as that of maintaining s officers, Will be saved to the city. In the second piece, many citizens, in whose judgment 1 have the fullest confidence, and who areas much interested in baying Asaf bridge at the Virginia avenue cros sing as any Oue can be, assure me that the prevent struc- ih a small outlay for repairs, will stand al years—at all events until the ques- sing the canal is determined. Intl Tis definiiely settled, 1 cannot give my assent to the expeuditare of the revenues of this corporation for the purpose of endeay- oring to keep in navigable oruer a ditch that has absorbed and sunk beneath the scum and filth with which it is now filled nearly to tue brim such a large portion of the taxes collected from our people. If we wish to expead money to improve the navigation and commerce» ot the city, and thas give employment to the han- dreds now looking in vain for work, let us turn our attention to our river frout oa both of our shores, and we will surely advanca the interests and prosperity of both. Or they can be profitably employed oy walling and arching the canal. In the thitd place Vice ginia avenue is under the exclusive jurisdic. tion of Congress, is subject to the coutrol of the General Government, and if a bridge 1s to be erected across the canal atits interseetion with said avenue it should be done by the Government through the Commissioner of Pub- lc Buildings and Grounds. These and other objections. which itis deemed wunecessary to name at this time, have induced me reluctantly to withhold my assent to the bill.” ‘The question was taken on the passage of the bill, and it was rejected—yeas 3, nays 15. Mr. Fowler presented an invitation from the proprietors of the Whitehurst Gallery tor the members of the Board to sit for their photo- graph; accepted, Mr. L. B.S.
