These not having been fully engrossed on record, pursuant to the resolution ot Council at Its last meeting, and the clerk having excused himself by pleading sickness, the reading was deferred.

The bill of Captain Reed, for twelve months' I 8torag~, at the rate of live dollars per month, or a large roller and flxturea used on the shell road, was referred to the committee on accounts. I SRtlOSfc Alderman Voigt presented a petition signed by many citizens, moat of them engaged in the mar-1 kat business, requesting that licenses should not I be issued to hucksters and pediera to sell poultry on the streets, as thii practice worked manifest injury to those who had paid for their licenses and had hired stalls at the market for the pur pose or selling poultry; also representing that the j refusai of the license would discourage the theft of poultry. The matter waa referred to the com mittee on licenses. A communication from Wm.

' Alderman Taylor, of the committee ou way a I and means, to whom waa referred a report or the I city appraiser, stated that the paper contained I nothing bnt a nasa of information which could I be found tn the reporta or the city officers. On motion the document was ordered to be left at I the Mayor's office for Inspection and information, j Alderman Slgwald, of the committee on vacant om ce?, reported that he waa ready to report, bat I as several billa would be brought up relating to I many of the office?, he begged leave to postpone n. s report au ul later l-i the session.

That the committee on retrench- I ment and relier be instructed to report at the f next regular meeting of on nell the propriety of reducing the Balarles and abolishing unnecessary offices, if any there be. , <~ He Bald the committee had gone to work calm : j, I ana endeavored to do their duty felthQaUy and impartially. They recommend the abolishing of several offices, and the reduction of the Balarles I as follows : The city appraiser $15 0; two assis tants $1000 each; civil engineer $1200; assistant engineer, abolished; harbormaster $1200, formerly I $1500; harbormaster clerk, abolished; city hall messenger $500, formerly $900; city registrar I $1500, formerly $1800; clerk $500, ronner ly $800. The committee also recommended a reduction of the appropriations for etreete and the police I department. The r?ductions in salari?e would } save the city rally fie JO yearly, and leave ample I and remunerative salarie ? to the officers. The I fin committee reported that they were unable to ex amine into the City Court, but that lt was now so shorn of the authority as to appear useless, and ita farther continuance seemed a needless expenditure The offices or recorder and clerk I v of the City Court were recommended tobe ab ol- I 45* tabed, or that no appropriation be made for their J salaries, and If the offices were createl by] legislation, to petition the Legislature to abolish the same. I On motion of Alderman Yo'gt the matter or the City Court waa referred to the city attorney to fur. nish Council with such In for ma* ion as would en abie them to take proper action in the matter at its next mee: lng. ? 4 Alderman- Bowen added that bit Hone* the I Mayor had suggested to the committee to begin ijR thelr retrenchment by reducing the Mayor's sal- I i ary from $30co to $2600. [The proposition waa 'Vuo? entertained by Council.] I . vT..\. Alderman O'Neill suggested that the report be [ ^vRftSelved so far, bot that the cemmlttee continue ^?^elr work. He did not see the city attorney noticed, whose salary was now $3000, and was formerly $800. Alderman Pelzer moved that action on the re- j port be deferred for the present. **j Alderman Vc1 gt seconded the motion, aa the I report could not atand against the ordinance creating the offices and salari?e. The motion was Alderman Pe'zer, or tte committee on asaess raeais, brought forward a bill to amend an ordi? nance to abolish the offices of assessor and assist? ant assessor, and to create the offices or appraiser and assistant appraiser.

A communication was read from the Boa FIremaatera calling the attention or Coane the booses occupied by the Hope and Pain Fire Companies, and sta' mg that the front of the former waa actually dangerous. Rere to the committee on the Fire Department. The Mayor asked if any bula would be ti up for the second reading. Alderman Simonda hoped that thia would be done, unless a bill was pressing and ape call was made for lt. Alderman Taylor moved that the police bl taken np. . Alderman Slmonds first begged leave to the following resolutions, which.Were adopte Resolved, That i he cit.j sheriff be required t port to Connell, according to ordinance. I Statement, Of the unpaid tax executions rem lng la his office, and Inform Council what moi necessary to eaable bim to make money then Resolved, Tbat the additional bills handed amounting to $118133, be referred to thee mitten on accounts. The bins sent in at the last-meeting amoni to $25,617 23. The poi-.e bill waa then taken up and real sections by the Mayer. Ia the first section, Al man slgwald moved to amend by making the ol th J Alte guard six hundred dollars, lnsteai roar hundred and eighty dollars, per annum, knew that the policemen's duty was no chi play, and fifty dollars per month was well ear by all of them who did their daty. Alderman Taylor objected, that the ame ment would kill the btu by adding $12,000 at blow to the expense, which at the present ngu amounted te $58,000. Alderman Slmonds moved to lay the ame ment on the table, and his motion waa carried the casting vote of the Mayor. Alderman Slgwald made a similar objection the pay of the night guard, which was also ov ruled, and after some discussion the bUl * passed to Its third reading, the only amendme carried being the increase of the pay of the fe sergeants from three hundred an J sixty-five d lars to four hundred dollars per annum. Alderman Slgwald remarked that the blU in latlon to streets had already practlcaUy go into effect, and reqoeated that theblU lntroduc ! by Alderman O'Neill be taken up.

Alderman Taylor thought lt was time to mak a serious ot Jectloo. which he had long entertain ed, against the passage of this bin. ita title wai a misnomer. The contractors performed ni duties as apothecaries. They acted ?Minply ai druggists. It was hard to see wh7 i,he city wanting to purchase drugs by wholesale, abouie go to a retan apothecary, when, they could ge the same here or elsewhere ' much cheaper a wholesale prices. The proposal to have "nlghi bella" would amount to nothing. After some further remarks, he moved to lay the bill on the table, which motion was carried.

Alderman Voigt aald the office of city treasurer was not reported vacant, although be had been told the term or that officer bad expired. He had professional opinion that the tenure of that officer expired on the loth of October, 1871. He moved that thia matter be referred back to the commit? tee. Agre? to. Alderman Taylor asked if a detailed report of the proceedings of the High School board for the last year had not bren made. He wanted this for information, as the school waa not in a aatlsfac tory condition. He moved that Alderman Voigt, a member of the board of supervisors, prepare a report and ru m lah lt at the next meeting of Coun? cil, showing the number ot pupils in attend ance, the number or teachers and the'.; Bi;a. rles, and aa to, how the. appropriation had been expended. Last year six thousand six hun? dred donara were expend?d on the teachers, and there were but forty scholars, seventeen or whom were beneficiaries. This was too expensive. Alderman Voigt asked that a rormal resolution I DD the subject be passed and sent to the chairman or the board, as lt wonld be almost impossible for aim (Alderman Voigt) to mase the report without tlelay. ' Alderman Taylor said as the Mayor was ex officio a. member of the board his Honor might furnish the i eport. The Mayor promised to use every exertion to throw light on the matter. The city treasurer stated he woald be able to furnish al! the facts relating to the subject, and would do so at the next meeting. Alderman Voigt moved that an advertisement be published giving flv? days' notice that all vacant offices, as reported, woald be filled at the nexr regular meeting of Council.
