EL McRee. Messenger to Mayor Melvin Dent Before proceeding with, the election of officers, Mayor Waddell had the minutes of preceding meeting read and also a resolution adopted upon tbe incoming of the Board juat prior to the present one in which certain civil service principles were laid down. He stated that this waa law until repealed and it waa read for the information of those present He then announced the appoint ment of the following committees : j Finance Tne Mayor, Bailey and West. Fire The Mayor, Harriss and Yon Glahn. Lights West, Parker and Skinner, i Marketa Maunder, Harriss and Spencer. Ordinances Harriss, Skinner and Mann. Police The Mayor, Mann and Maunder. - Public Buildings Skinner, Von Glahn and Parker. Sanitary Johnson, Spencer and West Sewerage Bailey, Mann and Von Glahn. Streets and Wharves The Mayor, Bailey and Johnson. Water Works Spencer, Johnson and Parker. In this connection Mayor Waddell stated that until the new James Walker Memorial Hospital is com pleted there will still be need for a hospital committee, which will be named later. At this juncture Alderman Harriss stated that in reading his nominations for the various city offices, he had omitted to state, that the board in caucus had agreed to abolish the office of Lieutenant of Police and upon being questioned by the Mayor, stated that the duties of the clerk of the police court which were formerly performed by the lieu tenant would in the future" be looked after by the Assistant Cty Clerk and Treasurer, who in the present instance is Major 0. H. White. A motion to this effect was unanimously adopted. Alderman Johnson moved the adoption of the civil service resolu tion of two years ago, which is refer red to above. The motion failed to meet with a second and in ' the ab sence of actios, Mayor Waddell stated that it was understood to be in force. Alderman Harriss said he thought it would be the policy of the Board to have the appointment of policemen. firemen and street force under the supervision of the several committees in charge of these departments. The Major ordered that applications for these positions be referred to the respective committees. He also stated that it must be understood that all elections of policemen, eta.Jwould be subject to the physical and mental examination reauired under the late ordinance unless this ordinance is r? pealed. . ' . - ' Alderman Bjdley, chairman of the committee on sewerage, reported that further time would be required to give the consideration necessary to a report on the ordinance recently submitted by attorneys -for .the .Philadelphia company. It "was agreed upon the conclusion of the night session to take a recess until' next Monday night when a conference with City Attorney Bellamy anci the receiving of : other information will enable the committee to make a definite report. - Mayor Waddell called .attention to the fact that the Finance' Uommitt in tbe near future would find it their duty to make up a budget of expenses for the coming fiscal year. - V Alderman. Parker in this connection msde a motion, which was seconded by Alderman Johnson and carried, to tbe eff ect that the budget should t dude a provision sufficient for the extension of the water system Into Nfth ward. a. communication from former City ; Attorney IredeU Mearea was read in which it was i stated that he ymA J.!vered to . the' CSty Clerk and Treasurer tax bookiL which had been in his hands for the past two; years as he thecity as-to the collection of back taxes would extend, so far as the books are concerned, beyond his term of office. The attention of the Board was called to the fact that there is now. pending against the city civil actions for al leged damages, which would likely be set for trial at the April term of the court, as follows: W. EL Worth, alleged damage by overflow of Water, $5,000; T. F. Bagley, for same cause, $540; H. li Peterson, personal injury. $10,000: Emeline Mask, personal injury, $3, SCO. Attention was further called to the fact that there are some forty-odd suits by the city pending for collection of back taxes, in which he had drawn tire complaints after search of title, and some of these are alreadv in iucV- ment and process of collection. As the next term of court beean 'Anril 15th, Mr. Mearea asked advice whether in these cases pending he should con tins to prosecute and defend thena for tbe city. In the civil actions re ferred to, Mr. Meares stated that if, it was not ther pleasure of the Board to continue hia. employment he would present a bill to the eity for such ser vices as hatt been rendered lBta4ee- andinthe tax cases; if he is not to o jntinue, he would present a bill for such actual expenses as incurred in their prosecution; but If, on the con trary, it is desired that he should con tinue these, he would do so under the arrangements heretofore existing. He stated further that it had been cus tomary, where civil actions are pend ing, lor tne attorneys representing the city in the first instance to continue representing the city until they are finally determined. Thus, in the case Of Strauss vs. City, which was tried in his term, the ease had been defended for the city by other attorneys, who were first employed, and he had neither charged or received any com pensation in that case; and in tbe cases upon the dockets for the collection of taxes, where the attorneys had filed complaints before the beginning of his term, he had accorded and acted upon the same principle. The closing para graph of his letter is as follows: "I simply address this letter to-you that I ' may be advised of the pleasure of the Board in time to take such proper action in the pros' cution and defence of these cases as may be neces sary at tbe coming term of the court.'' Upon the conclusion of the reading of the letter Alderman Harriss moved that the suits which Mr. Meares is de fending for tbe city be continued in his hands. AldermanParker stated, in concurrence witnvan opinion ex pressed by the Mayor, that the matter abouhLgo to the Finance Committee. .1, li,. . . . i , Ajaerman west expressea pracucauy the same opinion and signified his un willingness to vote for Alderman Har riss' resolution, which was at length defeated by a vote of 6 to 4, those voting aye being Harriss, Johnson, Bailey and Mann. Upon the defeat of the motion Alderman Harriss moved for a recess untl next Monday, which was had by a unanimous vote. COUNTY SANITARY- COMMITTEE. AppolBtmeats for.
