Mr: .7. C. Patterson, :"Chairman of the
Street.Conaluittee, presented the follow
ing report::
\fienliemen: Your COMmittee'on Streets
an dSewers respectfully report as follows:
The principal, business before .them,
I outsidellie various petitions for grading,
paving and sewering, was. in relation to
the necessity of constructing the
~Trunk
'sewer throujh West 10AtainifIfs, , from
Pasture Lane to MOnigomery avenue
;sewer. It is an\ adtnitteci fact that the
sewer must be built soon ; or later in ,
order to ' afford Arainitire to ail that rerrf- .
'tory lying north , of. North avenue, and ,
there are several.veryoßd reasons why
prompt' action' shottid be taken now. The
Common . Ground is ; being im proved rap
idly at considerable expense to the city.
The railwAy, company, in pursu an ce of
their pledgei - lo` 'Cotmcils, have \com
mencetilhe niitittiy work Of , beattti-,
fying,their_ roadway through _the Coth
mon Ground, all of wltich wilLbe carried\
forward with the 'oharadniristic energy
of that corporation. --tinlesti,Councils
take prompraction in-flits matter, delay
will prove very expensive economy.. A,
consitierible , item of• the expense' Of the
Company in 'constructing the north wall
along their/roadway;will'be. Senseless
waste of money 'unless- Councils order
the construction of the, - inp,Poiled-sewer
promptly. The ',sewer * , it may not be
generally known, traveises for a consid
erable 'distance the line of - the proposed
wail, and if. it. *not built anterior to
building the' wall,- t will', 'have to be ta
ken down , yvhile.the work on the sewer
progresses. Thin. Additional 'cost will
have to.be paid by the city, as the wall
will hate to be rebuilt. Your Com
mittee realize the. difference of opinion
between members of Council regarding
the expediency of building main sewers,
under the present sewer law, but the cir
cumstances of the ease are so essentially
peculiar and different from all others,
and the necessity for prompt action so
apparent,, that no person can fail to per
ceive the necessity of going to work vig
orously and with an eye single to the in
terests of the city.- In reference to this
matter your COmmittee report an ordi
nonce and respectfully ask its -adoption.
In' relation to petition of property
holders on North Canal street, with re
fezence to,phtting fence on the wall;
the city lias no authority to assess the
cost of the same upon the property holtko
era, but the necessity for such a'; fence is
apparent, and in. iew of the'fact that the
petitioners are tuitions for such improve
ment.,
the following:resolution is re
ported:
Resolved,-That the property, holders on
North Canal street;from Chestnut street
to Ikladison avenue, be and they are here
by authorized to build a uniform fence
on the south side of said street, thesatne
to be;constructed under the supervision
of the City Engineer.

Extensive Confidence Operation.
The latest, and one of the most exten
sive operations that has been perpretra
ted in this city was corummated pester
day,sboth the victim and the 'victimizers
being colored men. Some days since two
Colored men arrived in this city, Purport
ing to hail from North Carolina, and took
lodgings at a colored boarding house on
Webster St. The day following the arrival
they exhibited a considerable amount of
gold coin to George Denney, a colored
hackman, who resides in Allegheny,
stating that they got it fro& their master
during the war. They farther stated
that they Wanted to use the money and
would be willing to exchange it for green
backs with a colored man or colored men.,
Denney having by his industry and aeon-,
only_ saved about p,ook which he,
had loaned out and de .. ted in different
places, thought this a i opportirnity for
, a speculation told the North Carolina
men that he would.raise the money and
take the gold it they would .give him a
little tiny., which they agreed to do,' and
it was arranged that he should moot them
at the l 'Union De t, lard evening, and
make the. exc • : ge. 'According to ,
agreement. Denney appeared at the ap
pointed place 'about seven o'clock last
night, with his carriage,and having in his
possession, $3,000 of his hard-earned
money, which he had been - years in ao
cumulating, and there met the other par
ties who gave him a trunk which, they
said contained the ;$3,000 in gold. He
Paid. them the greenbacks,• and placing
the trunk 'in his'
. - carriage droye
to Allegheny, and on arriving at his rel.-
idence, opened the trunk to take a look
at his treasure, when instead of gold he,
found` nothing but stones. He inime
diately returned here and reported the
matter at the'lldayor's office,- but up to a
late.hour last 'night do. tidings of the
victimizers : had been received.
