By Alderman Drake—Whereas the contract for paving Broadway with the Russ pavement, entered into between the Corporation of the city of Now York and Russ & Reid, clearly and beyond doubt scts forth that said Russ & Reid shall pave the entire width of the carriage- way, from curb to curb, with the Russ pavement; sad whereas said Russ & Ried have, in the manner so do- | seribed, paved the lower part of Broadway and the square in Whitehall in conformance with the provisions of said contract, but have omitted so to‘do in the other portions of said'street, consequently the gutters being of weaker material than the rest of the street, have given way, and are all in a very bad condition—therefore, be it resolyed, that the Commissioner of Repairs and’ Sup- plies be, and he is hereby, directed to have the contract for paving the entire width of the carriageway of Broad- way fully executed and completed, according to all the provisions contained therein, by said Russ & Reid, with- bi 7 ual delay.

Alderman BoaRpman moved in substance that the printers of the Couneil be summoned, and an inquiry be instituted as to what, {f any alterations have been made in documents while in their charge, after they have pass- | ed the Com mon Council. Alderman Morr would like to see the resolution more explicit, and define the alterations, which were only hinted at. Alderman Boarpxan had been told that the Comptrel- ler had altered documents after they had passed thie Board and had been given to the printers. The charge might not be true. He did not accuse the Comptroller; he only wanted information on the subject. Alderman Hrenick had also heard that alterations had been made in an important document in the masner stated, and he would like to have the fact established, or | the Comptroller acquitted, and hoped that the resolution vould pass. Documents, after they had passed thie Peard, should be sacred from mutilation. Alderman Voorms said that the Comptroller had semé in a report to the Finance Committee, and it was ordered to be printed. The printer sent it to the Comptroller, and an error was corrected, in which he saw nothing | wrong. These, he believed, were all the facts of the case. Alderman Brows would like to know whether it was | one of the Comptroller's own reports that was corrected? | . Alderman Hgrgick understood that the Comptroller im | the report in question had struck out some im, matter, which gave Mr. Reynolds ground for an attack upon him. He had heard of documents having been al- tered before by the printers, and wished to their fidelity. Alderman Cuauxcey thought it better to amend the re- | Solution, and summon the Comptroller to answer, instead of all the printers. Alderman BoaRDMAN had no objection to alter his rese- lution #0 as to include the Comptroller; when Alderman Morr moved to lay the whole subject the table, which was lost, and the original rosolut with the amendment, carried. ‘THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. Alderman Biv introduced a new ordinance in rele- tion to this department, of which the following is a copy: Whereas, The Fire Department of the city of Now York is 8,000 of our citizens, being mostly meoham- | | composed of ov | ies, and depending upon their Iabor for thelr support, and it carinot but he justly acknowlodged b; one residing im | Gur clty who han witnessed the herole devotion of the dre: men, that from the formation of mont no class of porsons have re Poorly compensa- ted and yet more faithful to the of property owners: and our citizens generally, than the firemen of this city: And it evidently shows a want of s proper appreciation of their conduct in our city governmont in not having sooner adopted some means by which the members of that depart- ment should receive a salary for the labor rendered thes far gratuitously to the ott The mombers of the Fire De- portment are exposed to all weather; thoir health La im ed; snow and rain do not prevent them from scoomplit their labors. At the first alarm from the fire bell all a ness must be Iaid aride, and everything requiri | tention left uncared for—their own interests they m for the interests of others. If labor is to bo rewarded, why should the labor they impose upon this olnss of our fellow present Fire Depart- citizens be left unrequited? The constant fights when, pave jon caused alled ; Tunnors, attaching themsely other fire apparatus; the department they cannot he prevonted. And as unillions of dollara worth of property are annually @ by fire, and more fires occur in. this city than in city in the world, an should be adopted. Un- der these circumstances the following pian for the > ization of the Fire Department of this city is respocttall submitted: — AN ORDINANCE YOR THE BETTER REGULATION OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF NEW YORE. The Fire Department of the oity of Now York shall be afvided into the following sections:— Section 1.

Alderman Woopwarp moved to lay the question on the table. Alderman Bont moved to lay on the table and print. Alderman Hrrick said that this was the fourth projest on foot relative to the Fire Department, and he hope@ that no more money would be expended in printing auch documents. ‘The Prestpent put the question to lay upon the table, which was carried on a division. ‘THE PARK AT JONES’ WOOD. By the report of the Committee on Lands and Places, a concurrence in the following resolution of the Board. of | Councilmen was recommended, viz. ‘That the tage lature of this State be requested to repeal'tho act tive to the purchase and laying out of certain lands fer a public park in the Nineteenth ward, and the powers and duties of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonaity, tm relation thereto. Aldermen Bint moved a concurrence. Alderman Hernicx was ngainst a concurrence. Alderman Voorsis said that the tax of Jones’ Park was thrown on the city generally by that law, and it was most unjust that the man whose property was situated on this park did not Pay mare than proprictors inother parts of the city. He hoped the Board would and show the Legislature that it would not have the whole city robbed in. order that a fraction of it might be benefitted. Alderman Morr said that tho Legislature was fc the city of New York to take private property for ures against the will, consent, and interests of the lat- ter. The city in obliged to pay one or two. millions for this ty against the will of the Mayor, Aldermem | and Commonalty, and he believed er amaneeaee on record, in this or an count s similar cas, | He had yet to learn that. the Legislature could conapelt | the Comigen Council to take private land far public ser- not requized. He moved that the resolution should be | concurred in. | Alderwan Vooums had no objection to Ia; out a yark, provided the taxation in every part of tI wee | the same. At present it was the bounden duty of the | Board to ank for the repeal of the law. | On the motion being put by the President, concurrence with the Board of Councilmen was It was then moved and secomied that the minority in relation te the same subject be Inid upon which was aleocarried. } CLAANING OF THR STRERTS.
