Tho Select and Common Coun cils of the city of Philadelphia do ordain, That the proviso to item 20 (relative to sewer inlets) of the ordinance entitled an ordinance making an appropriation to the Department of Highways, Bridges, Sewers, &c, &c, for tho year 1871, approved December 31, 1870, in tho following words to wit: "Provided also, That they bo constructed of iron upon tho plans of the Chief Engineer and Surveyor," De ana ine same is nereoy repealed. Tho Highway Committee requested tho passage of this ordinance. Mr. Bardslcy stated that this was one of the most important subjects yet brought before Councils. By repealing that proviso tho in lets would be built by contractors out of stone and bricks, at a cost of some $140, while tho iron inlets needed no repairs, as in the case of the stone inlets, and could be constructed at tho same cost. Repairing of stone inlets was ono of tho heaviest expenses of the Highway Department. Ho hoped the ordinance would not be passed. Mr. V aples in reply, advocated the stone inlets, alleging that tho iron was liable to be broken by a heavy team. Mr. Samuel Miller was opposed to tho ordi nance. After a lengthy debate a motion to indefi nitely postpone was withdrawn, and Mr. Logan moved to refer the matter to a special committee of five, to obtain the views of the Chief Commissioner of Highways and the Chief Engineer on tho subject. The yeas and nays wero called on tho ques tion and it was lost yeas 28; nays 28; a tie. So the question recurred on a motion of Col. Glenn to refer tho matter to the Chief Com missioner of Highways, which was lost. And a vote was taken on a motion to postpone it, which was lost. A vote was then taken, and a motion to refer the matter to the Committee on Surveys, which was agreed to, so the matter was dropped. The rules wero then suspended and Mr. Calhoun, chairman of the committeo to in vestigate the case ofMr.Eisenbrown,contesing the seat of Mr.White, sitting member from tho Sixteenth ward, presented a majority report, signed by 6ix members of tho committee, which declares Mr. Whito legally elected. The reading of the very lengthy report con sumed considerable time. Mr. McAleer, from the same committee, presented a minority report, which is signed by five members of tho committee, which de clares Mr. Eisonbrown legally elected. The majority report was adopted, and Mr. White retains his seat. Mr. Calhoun offered a resolution authorizing tho Commissioner of City Property to retain a portion of tho iron fence around Penn Squares, to enclose a school building. Referred to tho Committeo on City Property. Mr. Shane, from tho Committeo on Firo De partment, presented a report, which recom mends that tho supplementary act to tho fire bill, which impedes tho freo action of the Commissioners, bo not repealed, and assigns, among tho reasons therefor, that tho Commis sioners gave no security for the expenditure of foney, so that a supervision by Councils was perfectly proper. Tho Chamber passed a resolution changing the names of several small streets intho.Twen-ty-fifth ward, near the boundary lino. Mr. Walker, on leave, offered a resolution that the writ of mandamus served on Com mon Council during the session be referred to the Committee on Law, and that the City So licitor be instructed to represent Council be fore the Court on Saturday. Passed. Various petitions for water-pipe, grading of streets and gas lamps were introduced and re ferred. A niessago from the Mayor was received, with the bill which fixes a special tax rate of six per cent, tor the erection of the public buildings, without his approval, assigning rea sons for his dissent. The question being shall tho bill pass, Mr. Wagner stated that tho reasons assigned for tho veto were entirely insufficient, and urged the Chamber to pass the bill over the veto. Mr. McG rath moved to refer to tho Com mittee on Law. Lost yeas 10, nays 42. The bill was then passed over the veto yeas 44, nays iu. A communication was read from the Com missioners of Fairmount Park indorsing tho construction of a fire-proof Art Gallery in tho Park, and asking for the necessary appropria tion. Select Council bills being in order, tho Chamber concurred in a resolution of request to the Legislature for tho opening of Twelfth street through tho Parade Ground. On motion of Mr. Calhoun the Chamber pro ceeded to consider the additional clause of the fire bill, which authorizes tho Commissioners to expend sums not exceeding $1000 for the repairs af apparatus. Mr. Shano moved to refer it to the Commit tee on Fire. The motion gave riso to a lengthy debate, and members were divided as to what extent confidence should be placed in the Commis sion. Pending the question tho Chamber ad journed. INSURANOb. DELAWARE MUTUAL SAFETY INSURANCE COMPANY. Incorporated by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, 1836. Ottlcc S.
