The lobbies and ante-room were tilled with people, and the attendance ot members was fall. The basinets' was as follows: StUct Branch. President Sperm filled the chair. A communication was received from the officers 01 the Hestonyllle Railroad, asklnii permission to recta temporary wooilen bnlldinR on lianoester pike, between Forty. first and Forty. second street. A number of petitions were received asking the passage of an ordinance to prevent the laying of railway tracks in Twelfth or sixteenth, streets, as is proposed by parties applying to the Legislature for each permission. A petition for the removal of the track of the city railroad, In Market street, between Tenth and Eleventh, was, with the others, referred to com mittees. A communication from the Superintendent of City Railroads, recommending each removal, was also referred. A communication was received from M. Hall Stanton, Kq , one of the Trustees of the Philadel phia Uas Work, Informing Councils that that body bad adopted a resolution, bv a small majority, to continue holding, with closed doors, as before, their recnlar meetings, tlleterrnd in linmmiuui nn Law. Gol. Page offered a resolution providing for the appointment ot a special committee of three, rela tive to the a flairs of the Pennsylvania Railroad: Resolved, by the Select and Common Oo a noils Of the city of Philadelphia, that the communica tion of Meters. Liewls K Ik In and John Ric, Direc tors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in . answer to a resolution of Councils, be referred to a joint special committee of three from eaob Cham ner, and the said committee are hereby authorized, if by them it shall be deemed edvteable, to direot the Mayor to cast the stock vote of the city for or against the acceptance of the act of Assembly, ap proved March, 1888. This act authorizes the Dlrec'ors to borrow from time to time such sums of money as they may deem needful, and to lesne bonds therefor, in sums of not less than 1U0. The increase of the capital tork of the company not to exceed 200,000 shares. Mr. Van Oleve did not see why a road in a con dition already so prosperous should ask for per mission to increase its capital stock to the extent f 2lW,000 (hares, and to effect the loan of an , amount of money equal to its present capital. He hoped that a committee would be appointed to see whether such an increase would be for the bene IK Of the stock held oy the city. Mr. Smith spoke to like eUttct. Mr. King favored the resolution. It conld do no harm if it did no good. The subject was unanimously referred. On motion, the committee was increased to nine. A communication was received from the Con trollers of the Pablio Schools relative to sundry " Improvements, and was referred to committee. : An ordinance was presented by Mr. Buram, Chairman of the Committee on Cly Property, pro Tiding for the sale of certain lots owned by the city, in Chesnut street, from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth, on these terms: '20 per cent, to be paid in cash, the balance to remain on ground rent at the option of the purchaser. This ordinance passed. Mr. Bumm presented a report from a Joint Com , mittee of City Property and Surveys relative to the inadequate accommodations for many of the county ofiicers, with an ordinance attached, pro viding for the appointment of a commission for the , erection of public buildings. The report shows that the offices of the Board of Revision, City Commissioner and search clerks of the Receiver of Taxes are all small and unsuit able. The offices of the departments should be ad jacent to them. The cost of making duplicate bosks for the revision and assessment of taxes would be very large, besides a large annual outlay to keep them brought down for use, which, if the offices were adjacent, would be saved. All the Courts are Inadequately accommodated, and the new Court-house is but a temporary make-shift. ' The rooms of the District Court are unfit for the : business of the city. In all the departments, the re port says, there is great want of room, and the committee unanimously recommend the immediate erection of new public buildings. The cost of Keeping the present ones in repair amounts anna ally to almost the interest on the cost of new struc tures. Toe city Is paying In rent $18,000, which is the Interest upon 8300,000, and, adding the cost of repairs, the city Is expending yearly the interest upon half a million dollars. The committee recommend the selection, as such , a locality, of Broad and Market streets. In a few . jears the railway tracks for burden cars will dis appear from there, and the point is really the very centre of the city. The plan for the entire build ings should be adopted now not with a view of entering immediately upon the erection of all of them, but to tlx the general arrangement, so that the city can erect and finish a portion yearly until the completion of the whole. The committee object to the leasing of the Adelphl bmldlng, and urge immediate action upon the bill appended. The report is signed by the entire committee, Mr. Bumm, Chairman. The bill names as the Commission Henry Davis, John Price Wetherill, Furman Sheppard. James A. Freeman, Edward Shlppen and N. B. Browne, who, with the Mayor ana the president oi uoun- cils, shall bold tor the term of tlve years the otllce of Commissioners of Public Buildings, unless the buildings herein provided for have been before . that time erected and completed. k ' Any vacancies occurring in the said Board, ex cepting those of members by virtue of their office, as Mayor and President of Councils, shall be filled by the rerouinlng members of the Board. The ' taid Commissioners shall meet within one mon'.h after the passage of the ordinance, and organize by the election of a president and secretary from . . their number; but shall receive no compensation for their services as Commissioners. Section second provides that it shall be the duty Ot the said Board to advertise, In at least two daily newspapers published in this city, for three weeks, for plans and estimates of cost of the proposed building; and they shall, within three months after their first meeting, determine upon and adopt a plan, and thereupon shall determine what por . tion of said plan shall be first erected. They shall . advertise, for at least two weeks, in one or more . newspapers, for proposals for the erection of such parts to be by them designated In the advertise ment, and shall award the contracts to the lowest and best bidder who shall give the requisite se curity, who shall thereupon enter into a contract with the city, and shall proceed, under the direc tion of the said Commissioners, to erect said build ings and fit them for the purposes intended. Section third provides that the said Commission ers shall prepare a contract, to be approved by the City Solicitor, the terms of which shall be pub lished at the time of advertising for the proposals for the erection of such portion of the buildings as shall be designated to be first erected; they shall provide terms of payment and the amount of se curity, and shall proceed In the erection and com pletion of any other part or parts of the buildings; provided, that the contracts are awarded after ad vertisement, In the same manner as above pro Tided for that which is first to be erected. , Section fourth provides that the said buildings hall be erected In ore or more of the public squares at Broad and Market streets, as the com mission deem proper; that the faith of the city Is pledged to levy a special tax each year of one eighth of one per cent, upon teal estate, or such other rate as will yield at least 8200,000 annually; . the said special tux to be collected separately and kept ns a separate turd by the City Treasurer, and to be known as "I he Public Buildings Fund." It Is also provided that in order that Immediate steps may be taken for the erection of said build ingsi the sum of saoo 000 Is hereby appropriated to the Ccmmisi-ioi era of Public Buildings, for the expenses of the yeax lbU", to carry out the objects of the ordinance; the sum to be reimbursed out of a loan hereafter to be created.

Adjourned. Report Submitted by City Hirectoks p Pennsylvania Railroad to City Councils. The folloalnor coraniunlcation was sent to Councils yesterday by the City Director of the rennsjivama luiiroucu. Company The Di rectors ol the Pennsylvania RailroartOtfiipany representing the city have considered the reso lution 01 select ana common councils ot the city of rhilftdolphia, in relation to a supplement to the charier of the company, passed by the Legislature in ft: arch, 18C6. The Directors, alter quoting the act oi Assembly, say: "The a Hairs ot the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have, fiom an early period, through the In structions of tbe shareholders, been adminis tered upon the most enlarged and liberal basin, and under this policy it hat rapidly crown to be the roost important work: of the kind in this country. It has not only extended its original line ot but 248 miles in length from Harrisburg to Philadelphia, but it has brought Into suc cessful use, by a liberal application of its means, over 1100 miles of branch and connect ing railways, all of which add to tbe profits of tbe main stem. It has now under its general supervision, exclusive of the main line from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, nearly 100 miles of railway." The only expenditures it has incurred that were ot a doubtful character were those di rected by the shareholders, or required by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, commuting tbe tonnage duties. It is true that the Board might have lultilled the letter of its obligations in both these cases by applviug the amount required to be appioprlated by its principals to the objects directed, and then have charged off the stiois so expended to protit and lo?s. and gone no fur ther. Ti e Hoard prelcrred advancing further sums, with a view not only to save their orl einal investment, but bIho to make the works they had aided -partially to build productive to their f liHrtholdcrs and useful to the countries travmed. A list of the roads so aided and brought successfully into use comprises tbe Pittsburg, Fort Way ue, and Chicaeo Railway. 496 miles long; the road between Pittsburg and ColtimbiiH, 200 miles: the WeBt Pennsylvania Railroad, between Blalrsville and Pittsburg. 70 miles; the Evansburg and Cresson Railroad, 9 miles; the Tyrone and Phillipsburg Road, 23 miles; the Bald Eagle Valley Railroad, 64 miles; the Bed ford Railroad to Bloody Run, 20 miles; tbe Milllin and Centre County Railroad, 7 miles; the Pennsylvania and Erie Railroad, 288 miles, etc, The Directors have been enabled to meet the expenditures thus incurred without in creasing the indebtedness of the company to the limit of its capital stock, while it ceil 1 holds assets in Its vaults more than equal to its first and second mortgages. The increase of its facilities for transportation must advance with the growth of the tratlic of the country, This will require continual addi tions to its equipments, to its tracks, to its sta tions, to its fchors, and additional extension of branch lines. The means for these can only be obtained under the judicious limitation of the borrowing power 01 the company by an enlarge ment of its stock basis. It is to meet this neces sity that the cash dividends have been proposed to be limited to not exceeding eight per cent, per annum. It was a subject of grave discus sion whether these dividends should not be limited to six per cent, per annum, but the first figure was unanimously adopted, and the action proposed under it, will if approved by the shareholders, probably -be a dividend of eight per cent, in May nest, three per cent, in cash, and five per cent, in stock, and in November four per cent, in cash, and thereafter four per cent, in cash semi-annually whenever unaccom panied with a stock dividend, The Board would have preferred to have opened the books of the Company to the share holders for a subscription tor this increased capital, according to the number of shares held by each stockholder; but in adopting this plan on a previous occasion, the Directors met tbe decided opposition of the city authorities in consequence of her inability to participate in buch subscription. If this plan had been satis factory, the Board would have preferred to adhere to semi annual dividends of five per cent, in cash. The City Councils will doubtless learn witb satisfaction mat tne stook: propose! to be divided in May next is but a part of the surplus profits ot the Company. The remainder, except one million of dollars placed in a oou tineent fund, it is proposed to apply to the re duction of the construction account, with a view to keep the cost of the companies' books below a specie standard. 8HH11 These piohts have been secured without an increase (except on a few items) of the rates of the local tonnage of the line since the suspen sion of specie payments, which is, we believe, without example in any other business. We have great satisfaction in atating that in our judgment the Coiupttny's finances are in a most healthy condition. To provide means to enlarge the capacity oi the Company's roads and their equipment to meet the increasing tratlic of the country, as we have already mentioned, an in crease in the stock basis is necessary, and this can be obtained in but three ways by sale of shares by a stock dividend of surplus protits or by subscription by the shareholders in pro- f 101 tion to the interest on each at par, payable n Instalments as tbe money is required. This latter plan would have been the fairest and best suited to the views of the Board, but the city, as previously slated, under constitu tional restrictions, could not participate in the mbbcription and its consideration was aban doned. Instead of any disposition upon- the part of the Board to water tbe stock, we can state ol our knowledge that tbe efforts of the President and Directors . have been to keep down the capital account by applying surplus piobts to meet expenditures that a;e usually charged to construction account. lour Directors will also state that they have from time to time conferred with tbe City Com missioners of the Sinkiug Fund, who control the stock owned by the city respecting the pros pects and policy of the company. Ytry repectlully, your obedient servants, Cliai Lewis Klein, t John Rice. Peopeety Exem ited m this City.
