Mr. Mitchell stated that the object of the meeting was to escertain, if possible, why the contractors for paving the Avenue between 9th and 10th streets with wooden ip ent had not commenced work. He read the advertisement for prog osals of date of September 10th last, in which was a provi-o that the work should be commenced within thirty days after the notifi- cation of the contract. The contractors were notified on October 7th last. Mr. John F. Ennis then stated that ‘When the Mayor was first called upon about the Of this section, he replied that he had allowec an additional time in which to put im the bond, and when that time was expired yet more time was grant, and wheu the bond ‘was offered—not being in proper form—was by him (the Mayor) rejected. jubsequently the Dond was altered and returned to him, approved by Judge Cartter. and by him received; put, in the opipionofs some tlemen to whom it form ‘t should be. 40ne of the bondsmen, the ti Dy the Mayor, crrrened great fe: ication that case; and fu! bond.

We have the opinion of legal gentlemen that the bond is Of vo value whatever; yet the Chief Justice of the — Court approves gnd the Mayor ac- ir.

P Dr. \phortnesy Fe the born geaey oho pou- drette, made a lengthy report as to the pou- drette tactories in the First and Sixth Wards. It considers first whether the premises in ques- tion are amenable to the present general law regulating nuisances, and quotes from the law on the subject, Wate law has no force applied to the Sixth Ward factory, but does bas tothe First Ward factory. The proprietors claim that they can with proper care conduct their estab- lishment fn such a manner as to cause no offense by disagreeable odors. The report states that the prevailing winds in summer are south and southwesterly, and the First Ward factory is di- rectly in the range of the winds which sweep over Washington, while that in the Sixth Ward ismore favored. After detailing what was seen at these factories, the r speaks of the French police laws in relation to such establish- ments, and expresses the opinion if they are to be continued as a place of depos.t for = soil, “their location should be without city limits, with due regard to the prevailin ‘winds, and in as elevated and wooded a distri as they can obtain, and that their construction and management should al: be under sanitary supervision of 0) sort.” The fs: uestion, which reyort proceeds: ‘*Another is all-important, is involved Tadirectiy in this subject—one the importance of which will be- come more and more apparent as the city in- creases in size and its i rd of sewerage be- comes more thorongh.

After in re- terring to the French lawson the subject, the committee recommend the disposalof aight soil to poudrette factories, and their mode of disin- fection with the material used should be stated to the Board of Health, whitch board, at the same time, should have a due regard to the right of proprietorship in its use and privacy. BROMOPHYTE. The Secretary read communications from the Bromophyte Company, signed by the president, Gen. Balloch, with the draft of the bill pending in the City Councils, and abstract of which was egg in the Aldermen’s proceedings in Taz STaR of Tuesday lasi. Gen. Chipman was allowed to speak on the manufacture of bromophyte, and addressed the board, stating that the plan they proposed was & feasible one, but to reimburse the company for their outlay they should have the contract tome years. He bighly complimented the report made, and expressed the hope that it would be —— They hoped to secure a place down he river where they could continue the manu- facture unmolested. He said that the city of Baltimore paid $18,000 for the removal of night © plan pro; a tee— was followed outin St. Louis. Dr. Lee asked it proposed to allow the board to have supervision over the factory? Gen. Chipman replied that it was ex that they would be under the supervision of the District authorities until they were beyond the Jurisdiction of the District. Mr. Wallace said this was one of the most: feasible plans he had seen suggested, and he was willing to give his sanction to the plan. THE ADDITIONAL FEE. Mr. Thompson said that the people would make an outcry against the payment of an ad- ditional fee. Gen. Chipman stated that in his conversation with citizens on the subject he had found none who — to this fee. ‘Mr. Wallace asked why the company could not take the job off the scavengers for the same fees now receive. Gen. Chiphman remarked that the company would go outside its sphere in such a case, and thus attack a worthy class of men. Mr. Thompeon said that he coald not consent to taxing the people, for: there was no doubt but the project would be a paying one. ; After some further debate, the memorial was referred to the poudrette committee. Mr. Thompson moved that a committee be ap- pointed to present the report to the Mayor with a request that it be printed. ; Mr. Harkness moved as a substitute that the president and secretary wait on the Mayor in reference to publishing the report; carried.
