by Common Council, anthorlzlng the Mayor to re
new the contract with Henry Bickley for cleaning
the streets of the northern district of the city, re
ported back the bill as committed to them, and re
commended ita passage.
The ordinance renewing the Uichley contract

From Philip Fitzpatrick was received a com
munication ottering to rent Bock street wharf, at

Another was received asking, on behalf of the

the Committee on Otrard Estates.
From the Committee on Law Mr. Wagner made
a report as to what gentlemen were entitled to
meet as members of Councils on the first day of
January, IH17. It is to the ellect that the law re
quires the organization of City Councils on the
first Monday in January in each year. It pro
vides, also, that the term of outgoing members ex
pires on the last day of December. The Commit
tee therelore report that only those members whose
terms have not expired have the legal right to
meet in the Chamber on the Thursday previous to
the first Monday In January. An appended reso
lution was a follows:
Hesolved, That there be no meeting of Councils
between the last day of December, lsiMJ, and the
first Monday of January, 1SW7.
This was agreed to.
A rf solution was now offered by Mr. Freeman,
with a preamble, that whereas, the revenue de
rived from tavern and drinking licenses is com
paratively small, and the expenses incident to a
municipality arising from pauperism, growing
directly out of the ellect of the promiscuous sale of
ardent spirits; therefore the Committee on Law is
instructed to prepare an act by which the State
tax upon drlnklng-honses shall be transferred from
the revenue of the Suite to thut of the city.
This waB referred to the Committee on Law.
A ordinance providing for the payment of $30110
to .Rebecca Nathans, for lOBses sustained by her in
the opening of Broad street, was passed.
Col. Page offered a resolution instructing the
City Commissioner to report by what authority
certain parties are allowed to drive heavy carts
into Fairmount Park to draw Ice cut from the
Schuylkill.
Col. Puge stated that to repair the carriage-way
after these ice carters had completed the work of
tilling their ice houses would cost the city from
five hundred to one thousand dollars.
The resolution was adopted.
The bill making appropriation to the Depart
ment of Highways for 1M17, was now taken up.
The Chamber then resolved Itself into Committee
of the Whole, Mr. Freeman in the chair.
The proviso of Common Council to item 4, re
quiring that contracts be given to the lowest Did
der, was stricken out.
On motion of Mr. Barlow, item 7, for repairs to
roads and nnpaved streets, which was ,ijii,oo(i, was
increased to 50,000. Agreed to.
The bill, as amended, passed.
The ordinance making appropriation to clean
the streets was concurred iu just as it passed the
opposite Chamber.
The bill from Common Council to lease Dock
street wharf was postponed for the present.
An ordinance authorizing George W. Hammers
ley, postmaster at Germautown, 10 erect a wooden
poEt-otlice building near the depot, for the accom
modation of the people, was adopted.
Also, an ordinance permitting the erection of a
wooden building at Ninth street and Columbia
avenue.
Also, the ordinance making the annual appro
priation to the City Ice Boat.
The ordinance making appropriation to the De
partment of the City Controller was concurred in,
but so amended as to make the salaries of the as
sistant clerks $1200 instead of $1000. The salaries
of the Controller and chief clerk were raised irom
5000 to 500 (for both).
The ordinances making appropriation to the De
partment of Wharves and Landings, and to the
Department of Law, were concurred in.
An ordinance authorivinK the paving of a batch
of streets (see Common Council report) was con
curred in.
The amendment of Common Connciljto the ordi
nance regulating passenger railways was not con
curred in.
The bill to make an appropriation to the Water
Department, as it passed Common Council, was so
amended as to increase the salaries of those em
ployes receiving 8fe50 to $900.
On the quession of concurring in the bill the
yeas were 7 the nays 9. So the bill fell.
An oil painted partrait of James Lynd, late
President of Select Council, was now formally
pretented to the Chamber by Mr. Charles Thomp
son Jones.
The portrait is suspended from the wall beside
that of the former President, Theodore Cuyler,
Esq. A series of resolutions, expressing the high
regard of the Chamber for Mr. Lynd, accepting the
picture, and assigning it a place upon the walls of
the hall after very handsome remarks by both
Messrs. King and Freeman were adopted.
An ordinance making appropriations to the City
Ccmmissloners was taken up.
Mr. Marcus (whose laith Is Hebraic) moved to
amend by adding among the municipal contribu
tions to the various churches, "To the Jewish
Foster Home, 500." Mr. Mark us very feelingly
explained that the people of his religious faith
maintained their own poor. None professing that
creed were ever the recipients of public charity,
yet that people were largely contributors to the
taxes of the city. They paid tributA'cheertully and
without reserve. While the city was contributing
to the support of so many other churches, it was
no more than right that they should make recog
nition of an asylum such as the Jewish Foster
Home.
The amendment was nnanhnously adopted. (It
was also nnanimonsly adopted in Common Coun
cils Kbp.)
A committee of Common Council now announced
that they had completed their business, unless Se
lect Council had something to communicate.
The President said that several bills were yet
unacted upon that would require the attention of
Common Council.
The bill making appropriation to the Commis
sioner of City Property wus then taken up.
Mr Kamerly moved that the item of $0000, to im
prove and repair Fairmount park, be made $15,uoo.
He claimed that JfOlioO would be entirely inade
quate to do the mereBt patching. It would be het
ter to spend $15,000 at once thuu to spend twice that
sum in petty instalments.
Col. Page thought that just as much improve,
ment would be done with $(ono as with $15,000,
under the present regime. Until the management
of the park is placed under the charge of a com
mission, the smaller the sum appropriated to it the
better.
The amendment was lost.
The Chamber insisted upon its amendments to
the Highway bill, and a committee of conference
was appointed.
From their amendment to the bill making ap
propriation to the Department of City Controller
this Chamher now receded.
The School bill, as passed by Common Council,
was concurred in, with some small amendments.
The Chamber adjourned at a very lata hour,
rendering necessary a special meeting to complete
unfinished business.
Common Uranch. This Chamber met at 3 P. M.,
Mr. Stokley, President, in the chair.
Mr. Marcer presented the following document:
To Joseph F. Marcer, Chairman of Finance
Committee of Councils Dear (sir: The following
preamble and resolution were adopted by the
Finance Committee of the Trustees of the Phila
delphia Gas Works at their meeting last evening:

mended an appropriation of 18 per lamp for the

test against the action of the Finance Committee

pnblic lighting be made the amount asked for by
this committee.
Kesolved, That a copy of the foregoing be sent

Ci v.mittee of Councils.
J.ttj ecUi.lly, Smuki, M. Whitb,
Jitrjitrrnr.
The Chamber referred the matter to the Oa
Committee. This, of course, send the communi
cation begging Into the new year. Of the Commit
tee on Ohs Works for lflti7, Alex. J. Harper, of the
Eighth ward, will be Chairman. I
A communication was received from the Board
of Directors of the Fire Department, asking Coun
cils to stay proceedings on the Fire bill until the
Board could prepare an address to the members of
Councils.
The matter was referred to the Committee on
Fire. ,
A communication received from Chief Engineer
Lyleof the Fire Itepartraent announced the sus
pension of the Niagnra and Franklin Fire Com
ponies for rioting. Iieierred to the same commit
tee. 1
The Chamber then passed the ordnance appro
printing the annual expenditure to the Water De
partment, wl'h an (intendment to make the Chief
Engineer's salnry 5000 instead of JIO.
Mr. Miller, Chairman of the Committee on High
ways, reported resolutions to pave Live, Warnock
and Alter streets. These were agreed to.
Mr. Ball Stanton, chairman of the Committee
on Port Wardens, presented a report relating to
the lease of the important property on Dock street
w harf. The report states that the present proprie
tors of the wharf, when it was rented by the Penn
sylvania Bailroad Company, purchased ine five
years lease owned by that company, purchasing
nlso the sheds and improvements erected by that
company. When that lease expired the present
renters released the wharf, at public outcry, for
three years. This latter lease is now almost ex
plred, and the committee reported the following
ordinance:
Section 1. The Select and Common Councils of
the city of Philadelphia do ordain, That the Com
missioners of Markets, Wharves and Landings be,
and he Is hereby authorized to enter Into a lease of
Dock Btreet wharf, on the river Delaware, with the
Delaware Avenue Market Company, for the term
of ten years from the time of the expiration of the
piesem leate, at the rent of tour thousand dollars
per annum, payable quarterly.
Section a. That the said lessees shall bind them
selves, with snllicient security, to extend the pier
of said wharf, at their own expense, to the Port
Wardens' line, to extend also through the pier the
sewer as of its present size and direction. The
work on said extension of pier nnd sewer to be
tone within one year from the commencement of
the lease, in the most substantial and workmanlike
mariner, under the supervision of and in accord
ance with the plan and specifications of the Chief
Engineer and Surveyor. Provided, That said
lessees shall, at all times during said term, keep
the docks of said wharf clean, and the pier, whari,
and all the Improvements, in good order and re
pair, without any charge to the city, and, at the
expiration of said term, deliver possession of the
property so leased to the lessors, including all im
provements, (except the sheds,),ln good order and
condition.
Mr. Stokley stated that he had propositions from
other parties ottering $7500 per year for the same
wharf.
Mr. Stanton explained the action of the commit
tee. The lessees of the wharf are the Delaware
Avenue Market Company. They own the exten
sive market property and eheds at the terminus of
Dock street, and their property is ornamental to
the city. It is also the only wholesale market
open to our citizens. It supplies a want widely
experienced prior to its erection, and which will
be more grievously imposed if the market be re
moved. The rent asked is 1000, but It will not t e
all that the company will expend. It will agree,
ard bv the acceptance of the lease does asree, to
extend ihe wharf to the wardens' line. This great
improvement will cost ll ,000, or a sum that, di
vided among the ten years of proposed lease, win
make the actual rent of the wharf to the market
company StsotiO per annum.
Mr. Hetzel moved as an amendment that the
wharf be disposed of by public outcry, by Moses
Thomas k Sons, at 12 o'clock on January '2d, at the
Exchange, no bid being legal unless over 7iMiuper
annum.
The amendment failed. The ordnance was
agreed to.
Mr. Krnpp here took occasion to express his en
tire disgust at the management of Councils during
his connection with those bodies. He said that he
could not find terms to characterize the conduct of
Councllmen. An angel from heaven couldn't pro
perly name the mode of operation by which Coun
cils perfected its legislation.
The speech of Mr. Krupp was not finished. A
general noise in the chamber prevented its com
pletion. Select Council bills were called up.
The resolution not to meet on Thursday next
was concurred in.
The bill to pay R. Alexander West 500 for pho
nogrnphli.g the meetings of the Select Council
Committee of Inquiry into the Gas Trust was
concurred in.
The lease to the Butler and Mahanoy Coal and
M.ining Company was concurred in.
Mr. Palmer presented a resolution of thank? to
William S. Stokley, the retiring President. The
Chamber adopted the resolution, and directed a
copy to be engrossed and forwarded to that gentle
man. Mr. Hartley, from the special committee to in
vestigate the charge made by Mr. Billington, that
'J(H was paid for carriage hire by the Common
Council committee of Inquiry into the management
of the Gas Trust, reported that the amount ex
pended was much less. Mr. Billington, when
called belore Mr. Bardsley's committee, was com
pelled to squarely back down from his charges.
The report closed with a sharp suggestion toCoun
cilmen not to iterate allegations of special extrava
gance without the necessary substautiatory know
ledge. Mr. Hancock, from the special commute on in
quiry into the cirenmstances attending the build
ing of the extra chimney on the new court-house,
reported that the chimney for which Mr. Colla
day retained s50 could be built for S33II. Tt:e
committee, therefore, introduced a resolution in
ttructing the City Controller nnd City Treasurer to
retain .S0O from the appropriation to tha new
court-house. The resolution was adopted.
The School bill was then considered in Com
mittee 01 the Whole, Mr. Harper in the chair, uu
til a late hour. It was reported from the commit
tee, with important reductions, and llnally passi-d
without the amendment for the proposed in
crease of salaries, which came up on an ordinance
to appropriate SI 10,000 tor the increase, ottered by
Mr. Stanton. The Chamber then adjourned.

Mr. Leygett, who occupies the first floor of tna
builcfin?, was loading a wagon with tails from

almost instantly. Near the c irner of the build
ing, on Twelith street, Mr. Weeder, who keaps
a take and collee-stand, was talking with

i few doors above. Mr. Keenan was completely

volver and tired, when the t wo men, who were
nowioined by a third party from the street, u
is believed, beat a rapid retreat, carrying with
