CITY COITNIXUI.
A stated meeting was held yesterday af
terrtnon.
'SELECT
Mr. Bumm presented a cominnieation
from George Sinith, ,- No. 799 'Thompson
street, who offers`to' cleaUthe streets ot the
•• city for five-Years, for the sum of $O,OOO for
• ....7thofirsethree Years, and $70,000 . tor the last „
• .
two years of the said term. 'The party offers:
• r e'ample - security to the city for the
~‘'tperfbrinance of his contract.
4 ,..• jar.Bumm another, signed George Han
--11.on, the writer of which agrees to clean
every, main paved street in the city once a
'- 0 week, and every alley . once a month, for
!tho sum of $BO,OOO a year, giving sufficient
"....aeourity that 'the work shall be performed.
ce :Mxlltitchle presented a petition asking for
kr.o.lie compulsory removal of certain coal oil
works in Belgrade street.
Along petition, numerously signed, was
offered, as.king for the removal of the rail
road track Broad street.
A series•of resolutions from the Board of
Health; (printed in our issae of yester
,day,) relative to the had condition of the
streets, were offered.
• Mr. Spering and others pronounced the
lesolutions disrespectful.
e 4.4, Vae resolutions, by vote of the Chamber,
tlo„,- were returned to te Board froia which they
emanated.
` r . The bill from Common Council authoriz
': lug the Mayor to contract for the cleating
- of the streets of the city, made • the special
,order of the day, was now taken up.
Mr. Hopkins moved to amend by striking
out the words, - "the Mayor of the city," and
insert "Chief Engineer of streets" in the
first section.
Mr. Gray reminded the Chamber of the
magnitude of the failure that has always
attended the contract system.
Mr. Barlow thought it behooved him, as
chairman of the committee, to say some
thing about the bill. His object was to
„. 4 , benefit the tax payer and the health of the
irk people. The speaker had framed a bill,
eNO. , which was the bill passed by Common
and now before this Chamber.
• Now let the Mayor contract with the best
mart who has made proposals to do this
• work, and with the power that this bill
gives him we shall soon have what we so
much need.
Mr. Gray still insisted that the bill he ad
vocated does place the work under the
supervision and control of the Mayor.
Mr. Smith said.that he liked this bill as
well as any other, barring that it authorized
the Mayor to make the contract. A Mayor
is not responsible to Councils; a head of
department is. He would vote for the pro
posed amendment because it seemed only.
right.
Mr. King said that after the contracts are
once made the position of street inspector is
a sinecure. Almost every member of the
Chamber has had, this afternoon, a con
tractor at his bow. They are all around
. us. looking out for this immense job. In
' New York the speaker had heard a con
• tractor say that he was called upon to put
$lOO,OOO as a margin, and yet he didn't get
. V.,. the job. The speaker had no desire to vote
for a bill making the contract here. He
felt perfectly willing to have Mayor Me
l' Michael make the contract. He had in him
the most entire confidence, and didn't in
tend to compliment him either. He de
served it, and the whole community, he
doubted not, thought with him. Strike
, out his name from the bill, and it is de
feated.
Colonel Page said likewise. Remove the
name of Mayor McMichael and the bill IS
inoperative. The difficulty. ; in all our
matters is the absence of all responsibility.
Here it is fixed upon the Mayor, and
nowhere could it better be reposed.
Mr. Freeman opposed the'bill.
Hodgdon earnestly opposed the strik
. out of, the name of Mayor McMichael
In the bill. Give to Mr. Bickley the con
lr'ttabt; and to-morrow morning he will begin
the work. He has the wharves, the horses,
4 and the men. If he cannot clean the streets
.
f0r595,000 the city can lose nothing. Rather
than see the name of the Mayor erased from
the bill, he would see stricken off the name
of the Street Inspector.
On the motion to strike out the name of
the Mayor, the vote was---16 nays to 8 yeas.
The amendment therefore fell.
Mr. Freeman then' moved as a further
• amendment to the first section, to divide
the city into four districts,instead of into ten.
-• Mr. Gray" moved to go into Committee of
. the Whole. This was lost by a large vote.
Mr. Spring moved now to amend, by di
minishing the time to one year, so that a
trial might be given to the plan. This was
oat.
Mr. Gray moved a further amendment
that before a contract shall be made the
contractor shall make oath that he has made
po promises to any member of Councils to
, 1.704' t the contract.
1 1) 4 .4Mr. Hodgdon pronounced thi\an insult
-•-?•• • tterthe Chamber.
:the bill passed finally (every amendment
„ing lost), as it came from - Common
Council.
The bill providing for the sale of certain
superfluous real estate'belonging to the city,
postponed at a previous meeting, was
ta.ken up.
Colonel Page stated that there were se
.riohs objections against the sale of the To
• Aco';'Warehouse, includel in the lot.
en the tobacco trade is restored it will
WO - use. Itlis now rented for $4,000, with
a drawback of $1,500. It rented for $7,000
A .:.befilite the war began. The building ought
to produce the interest of $lOO,OOO.
• Mr.Spering thought that now of all others
. was the time to sell real estate. The city
.never can manage this property or get so
much out of it as the interest of the money
t.-1 is, will bring.
:Mr. King desired the property to be sold.
It doesn't pay 3 per cent. ,
The bill passed without amendment. The
ts, Tobacco Warehouse, therefore, will, also be
sold, but the bill passed with this under
standing, that not less than $lOO,OOO will be
accepted for it. •.t.
Mr. King offered a resolution requesting
the Board of Health to communicate to
• __,..Councils in what manner the $20,000 appro
, •-owitriated some months ago was'expended.
The bill from Common Council appro
.,- *biting $1,300 additional for the extension
Yine streetwas then passed unanimously.
,the bill from Common Cduncil, intro
it • istreing certain fire alarm boxes, ctc.,passed.
Ad,&xned.
COMMON BRANCH. •
• ' TR - Mayor's clerk presented a communi
tt.raltion from that officer, accompanied by the
resolutions passed by the Board of Health,
."\=ing the streets of Philadelphitt nui-
Mr. Harper moved to refer the communi
cation to the Committee on Health.
'Q .A eed to.
. i. Mr. Dillon presented a petition from the
tilopthwark Hose Company and citizens of
Sogthwark, asking for the removal of thet
irabks on Broad street.
Similar ones from the United States Hose
Company, the Shinier Hose Company, the
Hope Hose Company, the Vigilant Engine
company; were also presented. -
Petitions of corresponding import were
tti_esented by every member of the Chamber,
somemembers •• submitting three or four
long strings - of signatures. They were all
referred to the Committee on Law.
"Mr. Ray presented a communication re
. quesan' g the removal of a coal oil establish •
rent, at York avenue and Belgrade street.
The refuse from the works, is emptied into]
Gunners' Run, and then is carried to the
• Eighteenth Ward Water Works and
pumped up into the reservoirs. Referred to
• the Committee:on. Water.
The Fairmbunt Park bill was then
called up.
• • ••":741r. Hancock's resolution to repeal the or
dinance anthorizing the purchase , of ground
• -
Njacent to the. Park was declared the'sub
sect of consideration. ,
Mr. Hancock said Ae.Wits 'in favor of let
ting the people of‘the' city know that Coun.
oils are right in one thing at least. It may
be all right to pay $300,000 for the land, but
the money does not go into the pockets of
the property Owners.- There a margin of
$lBO,OOO left for shysters, men who feed upon
the public treasury and are nourished by
the pap - . These are the men who secured
the, removal of the markets, and now they
are hfingrk for the pickings of the Park ap
propriation. He knew them, he said, and
if Select Council •refused concurrence in the
bill of Common Council, he would name
them and give their names to the public.
Mr. Harper called upon Mr. Hancock to
define his position more clearly. It is use
less to repeal the ordinance, but if men are
plundering or trying to plunder the city
treasury, the people should know who they
are.
Mr. Simpson stigmatized the plan as a
swindle, than which none greater has ever
been presented to the people of the city.
There are persons now trying to buy up the
property at high rates, trusting to recover
still higher prices from the city. There is
a large margin in the purchase money. He
believed the Court will set aside the verdict
of the jury.
Mr. Evans demanded of Mr. Hancock the
revelation of the names of the persons who
are to receive, the $lB,OOO.
Mr. Wolbrt hoped the resolution of
Mr. Hancock would pass. He did not be
lieve that any sane man in Philadelphia to
day will say that the property • had not
been assessed at more than $200,000 more
than it is worth, including all the damage:
He gave an instance in which a piece of
property had been assessed at $1,700 more
than the owner rated it.
The Chamber finally :voted on Mr. Han
cock's resolution, and passed it. This re
peals the ordinance authorizing the pur
chase of the ground, as far as Common
Council is interested.
A communication was received from the
City Solicitor stating that, in his opinion,
Councils have no right to require the Board
of Trustees of the city Gas Works to sub
mit their books for inspection, beyond the
monthly account of receipts and expendi
tures, already obligatory upon the Board to
furnish Councils.
The telegraph alarm was extended to
the machine shops of Matthew Baldwin
& Co.
Mr. Stanton, Chairman of the Committee
on Port Wardens, reported an ordinance
appropriating $1,357 to widen Vine street
wharf. Passed.
Mr. Harper offered a resolution requiring
the city railroad companies to replace the
stones displaced at the street crossings.
Referred to Committee on Railroads.
Mr. Marting offered a resolution instruct
ing the Committee on Law when they report
upon the legal right of the members from
the First, Eighth, Ninth and Thirteenth
Wards to their seats, to report what assess
ment the Sheriff has made hitherto in his
proclamation;whether the Courtot Common
Pleas did not decide that the assessment
made the year preceding the organization
was to be taken, and what assessment the
Supreme Court had before them when they
acted upon the Meeser case. Agreed to.
Mr. Derbyshire presented a resolution re
questing the Legislature to pass a law pro
hibiting the sale of meats in the streets of
Philadelphia. Agreed to.
A resolution to approve the sureties of
George F. Gordon, Commissioner of Street
Cleaning, was then agreed to.
• Mr. Evans offered are solution that the
regular meeting of Common Council on
next Thursday be dispensed with, and:the
Chamber meet on Friday at 3 o'clock.
Agreed to.
Mr. Evans offered a resolution instruct-
ing the Committee on Law to inquire by
what right the Reading Railroad paid into
the city Treasury the sum of $l,OOO as car
toll, on the City Railroad, instead of the
regular tolls authorized• by law, the com
mittee to have power to send for persons
and papers. Agreed to. Adjourned.
