Larner secretary. ic. Jolin Wiison submitted the REPORT OF TRE COMMITTEE to wait on the board of pablie works. The re- port states that the committee were courtovusly Teceived by Messrs. Shepherd and Magrader, of the board. The whole subject was tully dis- cussed, and the board expressed in the strongest terms their views of the injustice and bards of the laws under which they were acting, Dut their inability under those laws or the lagal ad- vice given them to do otherwise than they aad done.” The work had been done and mux be paid for. Ohurebes and schovls were exempt from taxation by law, and the improvemen's in front of them and the crossings of the etrects are to be charged upon the assessable property, there was ne general fuad to which to cuurge them. ‘The committee insisted that property heldors shonid only be ebargeab one-third of the contrect price of the improvements in froxt of of the improvements in trent of cuurches, echools, reservations or street erussings.

Mr. Shepherd, in closing, says: “The change of grade referred to really saved the property-owners @ large sum of money and also great damage.” THE RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Wilson offered resolutions: 1 highly appreciate the earnest, zeal severing efforts of the board of pal the improvement of our city, &e; by feel that it would be just or expe tient to su our p 4 to which ts added five per es, $1,801.42, making ect operty to the Operations of these unjust Loppressive laws and look to some future aud unceriain relief for the wrongs of which we hO* complain; we will, therefore, apply tu the courts for such relief in the premises as t of our country will give us. 2d, Taat t w present, and all who muy atter, come forward and sign er to the eifect that we will ap to the = fur relief, and to this end will agree to en- gage the services of three competent la present our matters to the courts. 3.

DISCUSSION AND The organi may assess a just proportion of the expenses, not exceeding one-third; anid it was in their power, if they saw fit, to assess but 1-110 of the oust on'the property. Mr. Wilson said in the conference with the board the commitice took this view, and the board stated that the law as interpreted by | their legal adviser compelled their action. In answer toa question of Mr, Henry Piper, Mr. Wilson said the Legislature lad the power to authorize the issue of certificates to Indemnity the property-holders as the Loard proposed. Mr. John C. Harkness said he would be glad to place himself fair aud square on the resoiu- tions, but could not do so without stultitying himself, for the statements in the first resolu. tion were untrue. These men now say that the assessment bill is unjust, when they themselves drew up the bill and presented it t» the legisla ture with their plan, in which they deciared they had given exact and true measurements and estimates. He moved to stril which was agreed to. ‘The resolutions were amended; on motion of Dr. Miller, so as to provide for ail incijiental expenses of the proposed suit, and, as amended, were adopted. Mr. Larner moved that a committee of three be appointed to carry the resolutions into effect; adepcd, and the pointed Me-sra. Michaei Green, f. Lenman, and D.

If these were net proper parties in the cese, the case could go no further. In repiy to the question whether those mentioned are proper parties to the ease, he answered unhes- Matipgly no. Each of the complainants are owners of separate and distinct lots, not in common, but as individuals, and the assess- ments were separate and distinct. and in which the complainants had no common inter- est.
