suing of bonds of. the Water Lean, the ordi
nance providing for the same having been
poStponed for further consideration at the

Mr. Gross, of the Committee on Surveys,
said that Committee had deemed it !nee
„essary to call a meeting of Councils in
order to have the resolution passed in Com
mon Council at, lost meeting, transferring
$9,000 from Appropriation No. 9 to No. 23;
in which S. C. non-concurred, so amended
as to meet the views of Select Council and
passed.: The Committee were desirous of
commencing the work allotted to them as .
scion as practicable, and could not proceed
until the appropriation was made, . and Ile,
therefore, moved the matter be taken up.
.The President then read the ordinance
and resolution referredito. •
Mr. Gross moved to. amend the second
section of the ordinance, which Makes the
decision of the Survey Committee final rel
ative to disputes about the grades and loca
tions of streets, by requiring them to re
port their decisions to Councils for approv
al. The amendment was adopted, and- the
ordinance as amended read three times and
passed.'

last meeting, was then tak.en up.. • :
Mr. Gross said as the money was in
tended for the use of the Survey Commit

he would move to amend ,by adding the
words, "or to the Survey Committee;” af
ter the word twenty-three. 'The 'intend
ment was adopted.,
• Mr: Ogden then moved to amend by
making the amount $5,000 instead of $9,000.
'Mr. Gress said the Committee - had care
fully examined the matter:and were satis

accomplish . the work to be done, and, ho
hoped Councils would not interfere. with
the well digested plans of the Committee by
adoptng the amendment.
Mr. Tanner. said he would favor the
