Osman, from committee on laws and ordinances,
to whom were referred the draft of an ordinance
proposing to increase the license fur selling liquor
from o to f 100 a year; and a draft for another
ordinance te increase in a like ratio the license for
shows, exhibitions, c, iu tie city, submitted the
following report:
That ia reference to the former of these prtposed
ordinances, to increase the license for retailing in
toxicating liquors, the committee are of npiuion
that it is inexpedient at this time to make the pro
posed change, and therefore ask to be discharged
from the further consideration of the subject.
In reference to the license far shows and exhibi
tions, tne committee beg leave to suggest, in lieu
of adopting the proposed ordinance referred to
them, the adoption of the following amendments to
Chan. XXIV of Kevised Ordinances :
Amend Sec. S, referring to etrenses, so as to in
crease the liceuae from 25 to S0, and the penalty
far violating the ordinance to 1"0 instead of fid,
as now; also,
Ameud Sec. 4. referring to caravans, menageries
or collections ef animals, so as in like manner to
increase the license to fV., and the penalty to 10U.
These chauges would be accomplished by the adop
tion ( the following ordinance:

Respectfully submitsed.
On motion ot Lturke, report was received and or
dinance as recommended adopted.
Also the following report :
The committee on laws aud ordinances, to whom
was referred a communication from the Board of
hducation in relerenco to the levy of taxes for the
support nf the public schools for the year b7u, re
spectfully report :
In said communication the liohrd of Kducation
"instruct" and "require" of this council, that they
levy, for the support of the public schools of the
city, for the current year. 1. A tax of ,0(X) to
maintain said schools ; A tax of 1.500 to make
up au alleged deticieucy in the taxes that were re
quired by law to be levied last year for the support
ol the public schools of the city : and S. A tax of 2
mills on each dollar of the assessed valuation of
the taxable property of the city for the year 170.
to pay arreari of mdebteducs of suid Board of
Education.
Your committee are constrained to advise the
council not to accede to these "instructions" and
"requirements ' of the Board of Education. The
statute under which the Board seem to imagine
they are authorized to make these requirements of
the city council is the act of March 30, 1 S6f, enti
tled "An act to amend an act entitled 'An act to
establish tree schools in the city of Ottawa' and
the acts amendatory thereof." ' JJr that statute,
this council was directed to levy the following
taxes for the use of the Board of Education: i
For the year 164 and succeeding years, "such a.
tax, not exceeding fuM.O'ti, as the said Board of
Kducation of said city shall decide to be necessary
and proper" to maintain th public schools of said
city; 2. A special tax of five mills on the dollar on
the value ot all the taxable property in said city
in the year '.', to be upplied by said Board to the
paymeut of the then ( March 30, iMi'.i) indebtedness
of said Board; and 3. A further tax of two mills
on the dollar on the value of all the taxable prop
erty in said city in the year lb70, in case the pro
ceeds of the five mill tax directed to be levied as
above should not be tuthcicot to pay the then
(March L s6'J) indebtedness of said Board of Ed
ucation. This act was passed by the legislature at the in
stance and request of sundry meetings of the citi
icns of Ottawa, held in February and March
before the assessment for that year had been made,
and when it was supposed the assessment for city
and school purposes would be about the same it
had been for the preceding year, in round num
bers, !2.50O,Ctf. The Board of Education was then
supposed to be in debt some tH.OoO. A tax of 0
mills en the assumed assessment ef $2,SoO,0"0
would not yield enough to pay this indebtedness ;
therefore the provision far i mills additional ia
170 was made to wipe out all the then indebted
ness of the Board. But when, in June l0y, the
assessment was made, it w as found to foot up some
$3,iiu0,000. An assessment of 5 mills on the dol
lar on this sum would yield some $17,500, while
the Board of Education had otlicia.il y reported us
indebtedness on March '.'fib, 1S6S, the day before
the act of the legislature above alluded to was ap
proved by the Governor, at i4,G0S.3i. When the
Board of Education banded in their requisition up
on the council for taxes to be levied for school
purposes for ISC9, they asked for the "highest
rate per cent, authorized bv said law," (meaning
the act of March SO, 16CJ.) That law specified the
highest sum to maintain the schools fur the year
to be $i.',0'.'u and the highest sum to puy the
"present" (March 00, l;y) indebtedness of the
Board, to be $14,'0S.r.4, the two sums amounting
to $o4,6('S,31. The city council thereupon directed
a tax of ten mills on the dollar of the assessed val
uation ef tlie taxable property of the city to be
levied for the support ot the public schools and the
payment of the indebtedness of the Board of Edu
cation a levy which it was believed would yield
at least the re'quired (34,608.44, and which actually
yielded U.itXJ to 11500 more.
It is true, if tho letter of the statute of March 80,
IStiy, is to be followed, und not the spirit of the
law, us well as the clearly expressed intention
both of the citi.ens meetings in fiuming, aud of
the legislature in passing the act, the city couu
cil, in the levy of but 5 mills on the dollar in
lSCi!) to maintain the sellouts, fell short some
t'-'.iOO of the $S0.0(H asked for by the Board of Ed
ucation. But in giving the Board some $17,500
with which to pay its then indebtedness, the
council exceeded the requisition of the Board some
$3,000, lor which sum, us the Board under the
statute in question hud no power to make uuv
other use of it than to pay its then indebtedness, it
would become the duty of the city council, if tlio
literal interpretation given to the statute by the
Board is to be adhered to, to demand of the Board
that it shall account to the council. But instead of
proposing to account to the council for this excess,
winch, il' tin- interpretation put upon the statute by
the Board is correct, they acknowledge to have re
ceived in excess of their requisition of lHi',', and
in excess of what they were authorized to receive
by the statute, the Board make upon this council
the extraordinary requisition thai it levy a two
mill tax in 170, to pay urrcurs of an indebtedness,
less by $-J,J.M tliistt they acknowledge to have ul
ready received lor tho specitiu und sole purpose of
paying that indebtedness! The Board have seen
lit'to charge this council with a want of "courtesy ."
Your ci'iiiinUtee would not be lucking in material
for it suitable retort in view of such u refreshing
piece of vlirontory.
I'tidertho considerations thus presented, your
committee, therefore, recommend that tho city
e'erk bo directed to inform the Board of Education,
in response to their comiiiunicittion uf the 3th inst.,
that, in tho view tho city council is constrained to
take of the truo intent ntid meaning of tho law of
March 30, ISC'., referred to in tlio communication
from snid Board, this council has no authority,
and must therefore decline, to levy upon the peo
ple of Ottawa, for the aso of the public schools of
sam city tor tne year i7U, aay ot tne taxea re
quired and instructed to be levied by said Board
of Education, save only the 120,000 directed to be
levied bj aaid law for the snata tenants of the pub
lic schools ef the city for the year IS7.
