• TAXES.
v^The ordinance granting" the Southern
railway., permission to construct a-spur
•track ; along .Virginia street ;andv Mill
;Street to Fifteenth,: under' certain con
ditions, came to the Board from the
Common Council. ■■.. . ; . -
Mr; Hardwicke.- proposed .to ; amend by.
making concurrence, contingent upoiv the
payment of taxes by the Southern road,
for. which they are considerably in ar
rears. ,'■■ /■ ' ;-; '■■-':. :-.'■'- -.- -\:.i '■ -
-Major Alien . said this extension . was
asked for by the 'merchants.. He 'was . in
favor -of the policy suggested ; by -Mr.
Hardwicke, :but he, thought:. tlie amend
ment should not be tacked on to this ordi
nance. Mr. Hardwicke withdrew, his -op
position; and the ordinance was passed. .
The resolution to ; increase the . pay:of
the steward of the almshouse.^adoptedby
the" lower- bra rich , was referred to the Fi
nance Committee, "with several other res
olutions of a similar, nature, the object
-being I ': to '.have. them all considered in con-;
nection with next '■' years-b udget. ...

-Mr. Cutchins movt-d to -amend -the. bills
by striking out so. much of them as. pro-,
vides. for theissuing' of sewer .'or ci ty rail
way bonds. The : city, lie safd. was -al
ready within a narrow margin of the
maxinnim bond issue allowed by law. ..He
thought the elimination of -this ;•; feature
was of sufficient importance to; call the
Common Council together to pass, upon
the amendments. .- ; \ ;
President Tiirpin; said the session of the
legislature was about half over. Jt might
not be possible to ; get a meeting of tUe
Council, and thepassage of the bill might
be jeopardizes. ' . . .
".; Messrs. Allen •. and Cutchins -both said
"they did notwish to imperil the bills, and
