A called meeting of the Board of Ai dermen was held yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock ; present, His Honor, Mayor Hall, and Aldermen Worth. Bear, Boney, Giles. Dudley, Darby and Howe. Alderman Giles stated that the meet ioc was called by the Mayor, at the re- quest of three Alderco en. for the purpose of reconsider in 2 certain, action of the Board at its last meeting. Alderman Boney arose and said: "At the last meetine of tbe Board I intro duced tho motion to. abolish the office of Superintendent ot Streets Carts, which was adopted. I made the mo tion on my individual responsibility without consulting the members. of the Beard, because I bad concluded after proper reflection that the office was an unnecessary expense, and that the duties thereof " could and should be attended - to bv the Chief ot PollceV hand. besides,' I had heard crave and serious" charges against the occupant ol tjieoffied, madCby respon slbterahireliable parties am!I regard ed the abolition of the office under these cirenmstances as a satisfactory way of diving o the cUy $Gda per annum, aid at the sameiinler avoiding the necessity oF an investigation of the charges against the officer. Since the action of e the Board on this matter two of my colleagues, Messrs. Worth and Giles have requested me to move for a re consideration of said motion. I have undergone no change of opinion as to the usefulness of the office, but from a sense of courtesy to my colleagues, and with a vie w of affording the Board ao opportunity of investigating the charges and the officer an opportunity of vindi cation, I moye a reconsideration of tho motion abolishing the office of Super intendent of Street Carts." s - Alderman Dudley stated that at the the, request of AldermaaBouey ho sec ond the motion, and theinotion to re consider was adopted. The Mayor stated Othat: thof original propsit ionthe resolution that the office of upeiiniehdent of Street Force be abolished was now before1 the Board tor action.-: : v Tho resolution was then put and was not adopted. Alderman Giles moved that a com mittee of five be appointed to investi gate any charges which may be made against Mr." Charles Murphy, the su perintendent of street force. Adopted. The Mayor was authorized to ap point the committee hereafter. Alderman Dudley moved that here after when meetings are called that the object of the meeting be stated in tho call. Adopted.? - - The Board then adjourned. " , Have you seen our Fish Scales? 'AH housekeepers should have ooc. Can bo bad at Jacoiu's Hardware Depot .J election of Officers.

Wo have made fiome, inquiries, as to tne aiiegeareanciionjot rates ot insura ance in this city since the water .works were established here,- and find that it U nearly ail on paper, (japtl Divine was misinformed when he was told that there had been a reduction of, 20 per cent, on business houses and dwellings In some instances, in the; suburbs, there has bee'n a tcluction to this effect but ?t . has Jnot ' beefi carried to business houses or stocks The argument is that water oftentimes doe3 more injury than fire and hence the rates on stocks of goods and busi ness houses remain unchanged. Their is. however, a change in another direc tion, and that is an increase in the rates on eotton, which is, universal, and also on frame buildings in central lo calities. So that, in: all , probability, the average rate is as high, or higher, to-day than it was before we had the water works. That these works are a great advantage and a great blessing to this community that they have been instrumental In saying a great deal of property from destruction and in pre venting moro than one disastrous con flagration, is indisputable. The fact is reccgnized by the Board of Alderman, in. retiring one of the three fire steam ers as an unnecessary expense. . ' : , : r , -J' ' ' Fourth Street iiritlge. For several days past there have been petitions in circulation for signatures asking for a new iron bridge across the railroad at Fourth street.
