Fri m the Committeeon Law, Mr. Wagner
made a report as to what gentlemen were en
titled to meet as members of Counc Is on the
first day of January, 1867. It is to the effect
that the law requires the organization of City
Councils on the first Monday in Janaary in
each year. It provides, also, that the term
ol outgoing members expires on the last day
of Decembers The committee therefore re
port that only those members whoas terms
have not expired have the legal right to
meet in the Chamber on the Thursday pre
viour to to the first Monday in January. A n
appended resolution was as follows:
Resolved. That there be no meeting of
Councils between the last day of December,
1866, and the first Monday of January, 1867.
This was agreed to.
Mr. Freeman offered a resolntion that
whereas, the revenue from tavern and
drinking licenses is comparatively small,
and the expenses incident to a municipality
arising from pauperism, growing directly
out or the effect of the promiscuous sale of
ardent spirits; therefore the Committee on
Daw is instrnoted to prepare an aot by
which the State tax upon drinking-houses
shall be transferred from the revenue of the
State to that of the city. Referred to the
Committee on Law.
A ordinance providing for the payment of
$2,000 to Rebecca Nathans, for losses sus
tained by her in the opening of Broad street
was passed.
Colonel Page offered a resolution instruct
ing the City Commissioner to report by
what authority certain parties are allowed
to drive heavy carts into Fairmount Park
to draw ice cat from the Schuylkill,
Adopted.
The bill making appropriation to the De
partment of, High ways for 1867, was now
taken up.
The proviso of Common Council requiring
that contracts be given to the lowest bidder,

The bill from Common Council to lease
Dock street wharf 'was postponed for the
present.
An ordinance authorizing George W.
Hammersley, postmaster at Germantown,
to erect a wooden post-office building near
the depot, for the accommodation of the

_ Also, an ordinance permitting the erec
tion of a wooden building at Ninth street
and Columbia avenue,
. Also, the ordinance making the •annual
appropriation to the City Ice Boat.
The ordinance making appropriation to
the Department of the City Controller was
concurred in, but so amended as to make
the salaries of the assistant clerks §1,200 in
stead ot §l,OOO. The salaries of the Control
ler and chief clerk were raised from §5,000 to
$5,600 (for both).
The ordinances making appropriation to
the Department of Wharves and Landings
and to the Department of Law, were con
cnrred in.

Water Department, as it passed Common
Council, was so amended as to increase the
salaries of those employes receiving §BO6 to
On the question of concurring in the bill
the yeas were 8 and nays 9. So the bill fell.
An oil painted portrait of James Lvnd,
late President of Select Council, was how
formally presented to the Chamber by Mr.
Charles Thompson Jones.
The portrait is suspended from the wall
beside that of the former President, Theo
dore 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 bath
Messrs. King and Freeman—were adopted.
,* A ?,- ordinan<se mak ing appropriations to
the City Commissioners was taken up.
Mr. Marcus moved to amend by adding
among the municipal contributions to the
various churches, “To the Jewish Foster
Home, §500.” Adopted.
The bill making appropriation to the
Commissioner of City Property was then
taken up.
Mr. Kamerly moved that the item of
§6,000, to improve and repair Fairmount
Hark, be made §15,000. He claimed that
§6,000 would be entirely inadequate to do
the merest patching, ft would be better to
spend §15,000 at once than to spend twice
that snm in petty installments.
. Colonel Page thought that just as much
approvement would be done with §6,000
as with §15,060, under the present regime.
Until the management of the park is placed
under the charge of a commission, the
smaller sum appropriated to it the better.
The amendment was lost.

ments to the Highway bill, and a committee
of conference was appointed.

appropriation to the Department of City
Controller this Chamber now receded.

address to the members of; Councils.'
The matter was referred to the Committee
on Fire. r
A “communication received from Chief
Engineer Lyle of the Fire Department, an
nounced the suspension of the Niagara and
Franklin Fire Companies for rioting. Re
ferred to the same committee.
The Chamber then passed the ordinance
appropriating the animal expenditure to
the water Department, with an amend
ment to make the Chief Engineer’s salary
§5,000 instead of §2,800. "
Mr. Miller, of the Committee on High
ways, reported resolutions to pave Live,
Warnock and Alter streets. Agreed to.
Mr. StantoD, of the Committee on Port
Wardens, presented a report relating to the
, lease of the important property on Dock
street wharf. The report states that the pre
sent proprietors of the wharf, when it was
"rented by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
Lfpany, purchased the five years lease owned
F fcy that company, purchasing also the sheds
and improvements ereoted by that com-,
pany. W hen that lease expired the present,
renters released the wharf, at pnblio outcry,
for throe years. This latter lease is now,
almost/expired, and the committee reported'
the following ordinance: /'
Section 1. The, Select and Common
Councils of the city of Philadelphia do
ordain, .Tbat the Commissioners of Markets,
Wharves and Landings be, and he is hereby
authorized to enter into a lease of Dock
wharf, on the river Delaware, with the
"Delaware Avenne Market Company, for the
term of ten years from the time of the expi
ralion of«*he present lease, at the rent of
four thousand dollars per annum, payable
quarterly.
Sec. 2. That the siid lessees shall bind
themselves, with sufficient security, to ex
tend the pier of said Wharf, at their owu
expense, to the Port Warden’s line, to ex
tend also through the pier the ; sewer as of its
present size and oirection. The work on
said extension of pier and sewer to be done
within one year from the c jmmencsment of
the lease, in the most substantial and work
manlike manner, under the supervision of
and in accordance with the plan and specifi
cations 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, wharf, and
all the improvements, in good order and re
pair, without any charge to the city, and, at
the expiration of said term, deliver posses
sion ot the property so leased to the lessors,
including all improvements, (except the
sheds), in good order and condition.
Mr. Stokley stated that he had proposi
tions from other parties offering §7,500 per
year for the same wharf.
Mr. Stanton explained the action of the
committee. The lessees of the wharf are
ihe Delaware Avenne Market Company.
They own the extensive market property
and sheds at the terminus ot Dock street,
and their property is ornamental to the city.
It is also the only wholesale market open
to onr citizens. Itsnpplies a want widely
experienced prior to its erection, and which
will be more grievously imposed if the
market be removed. The rent asked is
§4,000, but it will not be all that the com
pany will expend. It will agree, and by
the acceptance of the lease does agree,/to
extend the wharf to the wardensLDme.
This great improvement will cost §40,000, or
a sum that, divided among the ten years of
proposed lease, will make the actual rent of
the wharf to the market company §S,OOO per
annum.
Mr. Hetzel moved as an amendment that,
the wharf he disposed of by public outcry,
by Moses Thomas & Seas, at 12 o’oloek on
January 2d, at the Exchange, no bid being
legal unless over §7,000 per annnm.
The amendment failed. The ordinance
was agreed to.
Select Council bills were called up.
The resolution not to meet on Thursday
next was concurred in.
The bill to pay R. Alexander West §5OO
for phonographing .the, meetings of the Se
lect Council Committee of Inquiry into the
Gas Trust was concurred in.
The lease to the Butler and Mahanoy Coa!
and Mining Company was concurred in.
Mr. Palmer presented a resolution of
thanks to William S. Stokley, the retiring
President. The Chamber adopted the reso
lution, and directed a copy to be engrossed
and forwarded to that gentleman.
Mr. Bardsley, from the special committee
to investigate the charge made by Mr. Bil
lington, that §2OO was paid for carriage hire
by the Common Council committee of in
quiry into the management of the Ga-
Trust, reported that the amount expended
was much less. .
Mr. Hancock, from the special committee
on inquiry into the circumstances attending
the building of the extra chimney on tin
new court house, reported that the chimney
for which Mr. Colladay retained §B5O coul-a
be built of §350. The committee, therefore
introduced a resolution instructing the City
Controller and City Treasurer to retain §B5O
from the appropriation to the new couri
house. The resolution was adopted.
The School bill was then considered till a
late hour; and finally passed without the
amendment for the proposed increase of
salaries, which came up on an ordinance to
appropriate §140,000 for the increase, offered
by Mr. StantOD. Adjourned.
