September Meetlng or City Ceunvilb.
A stated meeting of select anil common
councils was held last evening.
Select Council.
The following members were present :
Messrs. Bering, Decrr, Eberly, Zcchcr and
Evans, president.
The city treasurcr's'repert for the past
month was presented and read. It showed
last months rceeipts te have been $3,353.
71 ; payments $13,012.20, balance in trea
sury Sept. 1, $35,220.47.
Mr. Zcchcr prcsented the monthly re
port of the finance committee. The report
contains an abstract of the proceedings at
the meetings of the committee, showing
the amount of bills passed upon and ap
proved, and also rccommending that the
city bring Buit against the county te re
cover the amount of fees due the city for
cases heard before the mayor, payment of
which has been refused by the county com
missioners. On motion of Mr. Ebcrly the
matter was referred te the city soiieiter te
proceed te collect the same. Common
council concurred.
Mr. Zeclier presented the monthly
report of the water committee. It
contained nothing important, but was
accompanied by a statement of Superinten
dent Kitch relative te the insecure condi
tion of the south bank of the cast reser
voir. The superintendent proposes two
plans for making the necessary repairs :
lirst, te make a thorough repair of the en
tire wall, similar te that made en the north
wall, the estimated cost beiug $1,100;
second, the removal of the brick lining of
the south wall for some ten feet iu depth,
puddling the defective part and relaying
the brick in ccment,at an estimatcd cost of
$250.
Mr. Zcchcr moved that the water com cem com
mittce be authorized te make the repairs
in accordance with the last proposed plan.
Mr. Eberly moved te amend by providing
that before any repairs be made councils
make an official visit te the reservoirs te
inspect them, the time for said visit te be
fixed by the presidents of councils. The
amendment was accepted and the motion
as amended adopted. Common council
concurred.
A petition of citizens of Laucaslcr town
ship, residing a short distance east of the
city was read. The petitioners ask that
about 850 feet of water main be extended
along the Lancaster and Williamstown
pike, te near the residence of Samuel
ltanck, se that the petitioners may be able
te get a supply of water. Thoyagreeto
pay for six hydrants, and pay the interest
en the cost of laying the pipe, estimated at
$900. The petition was laid en the tabic.
An ordinance providing for the removal
of all awning pests and rails from Centre
Square and from King and luccu streets
within four squares of Centre Square was
read oneo and referred te the hlicet com
mittee. Mr. Bering wanted te knew why
the finance committee directed sev
eral months age te audit the books
of the city treasurer had net reported.
He said that an attempt had been made
te cast suspicion en the integrity of the
city treasurer, aud new, when the com
mittee finds that his books are all right,
they having been carefully examined by
Jeseph Clarkseu, one of the most accom
plished accountants iu the ety, who de
clares he never saw a set of books mere
correctly kept, the committee through
malice refuse te report, and still leave the
treasurer resting under the cloud of sus
picion they have raised around him. Had
Capt. Franklin, who moved the investiga
tion, been re-clcctcd president of select
council, he would net have demanded the
investigation and had the funds of the city
been deposited in the banking house
" ever the way," neither the president
nor Mr. Ebcrly would have pushed the in
vestigation. The city treasurer was a
friend of his, (Mr. Bering's) and he thought
it a shame that the committce should re
fuse te report and thus keep him under the
cloud that they had unjustly raised around
him. The committce themselves had,
year after year, audited the treasurer's ac
counts and ever their own signatures, de
clared them te be correct. If there was
anything wrong with the accounts why
did they certify tetlicir correctness, aud if
they are correct, why don't the committee
say se new and vindicate the integrity of
the treasurer ?
Mr. Bering was frequently interrupted
during bis remarks, and sharp words
passed between him and Mr. Ebcrly and
the president, Mr. Ebcrly disclaiming any
personal feeling in the matter, and the
president explaining that the cemmittee
could net yet report because Mr. Clarksen
had net yet completed his examination of
the book. He said that the charge that
the treasurer had ever been solicited by
him te depesit the city funds in the bank
ing heuse "ever the way " was false. On
the contrary the city treasurer had himself
made an efler te depesit them there. In
conclusion he called Mr. Bering te order,
saying there was nothing before council.
Mr. Zeclier offered a resolution that the
mayor be instructed te charge the sum of
seventy-five cents per copy for the city di
gest te all persons net members or officers
of the city government. The resolution
I was adopted. Common council concurred.
A message was received from the mayor
announcing the temporary suspension of
certain policemen, for cause stated, and
the appointment of ethers in their stead
and asking council te approve his action.
Alse announcing the resignation of Charles
Dorwartefthe Seventh ward from the
pelice force. The action of the mayor was
1 unanimously approved.
Fer action en street committee's report,
permanent lean, ordinance for lighting city
with gas, and resolution te apply te street
purposes a portion of contingent appropri
ation, see proceedings of common council
below.
Adjourned,
Common Council.
By the timejthe clerk finished calling the
roll and reading the minutes the following
named members were in their seats: Messrs.
Albert, Barnes, Bees, Bergor, Brown, Cox,
Downey, Hartley, Hays, Hershcy, Jehnsen,
Kceler, McMullen, Sing, Smeych,. Snyder,
Sprcchcr, Springer, Stennfeltz, White,
Yackly, Lovergood, president.
Common council concurred iu select
council's action of last stated meeting
amending the action of the former branch
with regard te the August report of the
street committee, by directing the com
mittee te advertise for proposals for rubble
pavement en Grant street, said proposals
te be referred back te councils for action.
Petitions as fellows were presented and
referred te the appropriate cemmittees:
By Mr. Hershcy : for gutter en Grant
street, between Mary street aud Marietta
avenue.
By Sir. Hartley : for a gas lamp in front
of Humane hose house.
By Mr. Keelcr : for a crossing en the
south side of North Queen street, at cor
ner of Lemen.
A lengthy communication signed by
Councilman Keelcr was read, urging upon
councils prompt and urgent measures te
secure the appointment by the Pennsylva
nia railroad company of watchmen at the
dangerous railroad crossings iu the city as
follews: at the corner of West "Walnut
and Prince streets; at the corner of "Water
aud Lemen streets, and at the Harrisburg
turnpike Mr. Keeler thought that the
number of fatal accidents that have occur
red at these points during the past four
teen years, averaging ene per year, ren
dered advisable "an appeal te the Penn
sylvania railroad cempauy te supply the
necessary safeguards," by placing "reli
able and sober men as the conservators of
the safety of the whole community at the
designated peiuts along said read." Mr.
Heeler's communication called attention
te the fact that the company habitually
runs its trains through the city at a rate
of speed that is in direct violation of the
previsions of city ordinance.
Mr. McMullcn agreed with the views ex
pressed in the communication as te the
necessity of having watchman stationed at
these dangerous railroad crossings; but at
the same time, since legal action has been
instituted against the railroad cempauy
with relation te one point made in the
communication viz.,that of running trains
through the city and ever the specified
crossings at an illegal rate of speed and
as the matter is pending, he thought it
unnecessary te sart any new movement in
the direction of the end aimed at while the
old ene is hanging fire. The communica
tion evidently designed te inveke the
power of moral suatien with the railroad
company. Mr. McMullcn seemed te favor
the mere vigorous process of the law, and
he gave the legal department of the city
government a reminder of their duty te
bring the pending actions te a determina
tion in the supreme court, where the rail
road cempauy seems disposed te have the
issue.
Ne action was taken upon the paper.
Mr. McMullen, from the street commit
tee, presented the monthly report of that
committee, recemmmending work te be
dene as fellows :
The petition for the repair of Concord
street, coming under the head of repairs, is
in the province of the street commissioner
te whom it is referred.
Cressing at the corner of Duke aud
James streets.
An inlet into the Lemen street sewer
under Pennsylvania railroad at Water
street.
A means of carrying off the water that
accumulates at a point in Charlette street,
near the running pump is deemed neces
sary by the committee, who have instruct
ed the city regulator te iuake an estimate
of the prebable cost of a sewer there, but
have net as yet received any return from
that official.
The committee recommend the granting
of a petition from citizens en West Orange
street, asking for permission te build a
sewer in a 'common alley running from
Pine te Mary streets, in the rear of then then
lets, and connect with the Mary street
sewer.
The committee call the attention of coun
cils te the fact that the sum of eighteen hun
dred and forty-six dollars and sixty-two
cents ($1,810.03) of the money appropri
ated for repairs of streets for the current
year has, through some misunderstanding,
been improperly paid te Messrs. Cunning
ham & McNichol for work dene en Peun
square during last year. It appears that
that amount of money had been paid by
property holders towards paving East King
street and Centre square, and was sup
posed te be in the treasury, whereas it had
in fact been turned into the street fund
aud expended by the former street com
mittee. At the time of the regular meet
ing of councils in July last there had been
paid in by propertyCholders the additional
sum of seven hundred and forty dollars
($710). At that meeting councils adopted a
joint resolution directing the mayor te
draw his warrant lin laver el Cunningham
& McNichol, for the money paid by prop
erty holders as frontage. The mayor ac
cordingly drew his warrants for tweuty tweuty
five hundred and eighty-six dollars and
sixty-two cents ($2,580.02), which sum was
paid by the treasurer from the meneys ap
propriated for repairs of streets thus tak
ing from the fund of seven thousand dol
lars ($7,000) the sum of eighteen
hundred "and forty-six dollars and
sixty-two cents, ($1.8-10.02), and rc
ilucintr the sum en band at this
date te five hundred and eighty-three dol
lars ($583). The cemmittee therefore ur
gently request that the sum of eighteen
hundred and forty-six dollars and sixty-two
cents ($1,8-16,02) be refunded from some
source, at once ; otherwise there will net
be sufficient money en hand te pay for the
work already dene.
The recommendations of the committce
were adopted. In select council action
was deferred until next meeting, upon Mr.
Ebcrly's motion, in order that Mr. Shcnk,
who was chairman of the former street
cemmittec,might, if able, te be present, ex
plain te councils the transfer of the money
for payment of Belgian block pavement te
the strccj; repairs fund.
Mr. Jehnsen presented a communication
from William J. Eerdney, chief engineer
of the fire department, setting forth that
several sections of the hose recently pur
chased from the Cleveland (O.) rubber hose
manufacturing company, which at the time
of the purchase had guaranteed the hose
for three years, had burst. The chief sug
gests that the committce en fire engine and
hese companies be instructed te negotiate
with the Cleveland company for the re
placement of the burst sections with geed
sections. The recommendation was adopt
ed and the committce directed te demand
of the Cleveland company the fulfillment
of the guarantee Select council concurred.
BLC. jucniuueu eiiereu ;i resolution mat
the sum of $1,840.02 be taken from the
fund for contingencies and added te the
fund appropriated for repairs of streets,
which was adopted. In select council it
was read, but no action was taken.
Mr. Bergcr offered a resolution direct
that 05 cents overpaid water rent be re
funded te Peter Krauss, as recommended
by the water committee, which was adopt
ed. Select council concurred.
Common council ordinance Ne. 4, au
thorizing the issuing of a permanent lean
of $17,000 te pay for Belgian block pave
ment, macadamizing certain streets, and
for labor, material and general street
work, was, en Mr. McMullenV motion,
taken up and read a second and third
times.
Mr. Albert offered the following amend
ment te Section 1 : "Provided that no por
tion of the money hereby appropriated
shall be used in the payment of debts il
legally contracted."
Mr. McMullen suggested te his friend
from the Eighth ward that neither the
street committce nor any ether member of
council, as he presumed, bad any idea of
employing this money in payment of ob
ligations whieb, in their opinion, had been
illegally contracted. They premised that
the debt is en honest ene that the city is
legally and morally bound te satisfy. The
adoption of a proviso of this character
must inevitably result in innumerable com
plications ; for if, upon the application of
this money te the purpose provided, any
one should choeso te claim the debt te be
an illegal ene, who was te decide whether
it was or net ? The question could only
be decided in a court of law, and the effect
of this amendment would be te cause delay
and complications.
Mr. Keeler threw in an irrelevant remark
that he thought the city's old debts ought
te be paid before new ones are contracted,
and that was the reason he was opposed te
the preposition te Belgian block the square
of North Queen street from Orange te
Chestnut.
Mr. Albert, in rcsponse te Mr. McMul
eon' s objection te his proviso, said that he
had read the newspapers and the mayor's
veto message and bolieved iu consequence
that the greater portion of the debt which
it is proposed te liquidate by this measure
had been contracted in violation of law.
The old street committee, by whom these
obligations had been made, exceeded their
authority iu going abeve their appropria
tion and placing the city at the threshold
of the constitutional limit of its indebt
edness. President Levcrgoed put the question en
the amendment and it was rejected. The
section was then adopted as read, as were
also the succeeding sections, aud en final
passago'the members voted as follews:
Yea: Messrs. Bees, Berger, Brown, Cox,
Hartley, Hays, ilershey, McMullcn, Sing,
Sprcchcr. Springer, Stermfcltz, White,
Yackly, Levcrgoed, president 15.
Nay: Messrs. Albert, Downey, Jehnsen,
Keeler, Smeych, Snyder 0.
Se the ordinance was adopted.
In select council the ordinance was re
jected, threo members, Messrs. Bering,
Decrr and Zncher, voting in favor, and two,
Messrs. Eberly and Evans, against it net
the constitutional majority.
The ordinance is identical with the one
recently passed by both branches of coun
cil, and vetoed by the mayor, except that
the amount of the former ordinance, $15,
000, is raised te $17,000.
Select council ordinance Ne 2, "for the
lighting of the city with gas," which passed
that body at the regular August meeting,
but was materially amended in common
council, was taken up in its amended form.
It provides forthe extension of the con
tract from ene te five years, and requires
the contracting company te extinguish the
gas lamps at daylight every morning as
well as light them at sunset. In common
council all the memberr voted for it and it
was adopted. In select council Messrs.
Ebcrly and Evans voted no, and conse
quently it was defeated.
On Mr. McMullen's motion common
council ordinance Ne. 3, providing for uni
form curbstones, was taken up, read sec
ond aud third times and unanimously
adopted. It is as fellows :
An ordinance ireYldiug for uniform curb
stones iu the City of Lancaster:
Sec. I. He it ordained by the Select and Com
mon Councils of the City et Lancaster :
That in all cases where by existing
ordinances eurlxstencs are required te be Het

cessors by net having the opportunity of

en the ether side of the house, adjourned.
