amounted to a bonus o f ' a b o u t § 7 0 0 0 e a c h to the

which wa s afraid to go forward, but still more alraid

after a series of the most disgraceful manoeuvres ever

s ta led lo the board that he had received a c o m m u ­nication from R. J . L u c k y , president of a m e e l i u g of ihe fire department on T u e s d a y evening last , s tal ing that several companies had signified their iu-icntion to resign their connexion wi th the depart­ment. He had c o n v e n e d thi3 meet ing for i n e pur-po=L' of lay ing this document before tho board, a n d to roquest act ion thereon.

Aid Pel l ottered the following preamble and reso­lutions :

W h e r e a s , the chief engineer e l ec t has uot taken his oath of office, as required by l a w . within ten days after his appointment , aud whereas the said chief engineer has , it is supposed, decl ined his ap­pointment, therefore

Reso lved , thai the law relative to the election of chief and ass i s tant engineers , be and is hereby re­pealed.

Resolved, that the report made by Aid Hal l , g iv­ing the se lect ion oi chief and assistaut engineers lo ihe firemen, be adopted.

Aid .McDonaldopposed the resolutions, aud hoped thut the c o m m o n couucil would unwaveringly ad lierc to their previous ac t ion , even though it should break tip the present organization of the department i h e compumes wh ich remaiti7~added lo the cit izens wh > would volunteer their aervioes in case of need, would be sufficient to man the engines until a tho­rough reorganization of tho department could be ef­fected. H e considered tho present a very favorablo opportunity for its accompl i shment , and hoped the .Mayor w m l d he permitted to issue his proclamation invoking the assistance and co-operatiou of the c i t i ­zens.

Aid l l . i l l moved that the resolution offeted by Aid Pell lin un,the t a b l o : curried.

Aid Taylor rrmurked that he thought, if tho firo-m'-n hud 'July reffeded upon llio pr; : ;\ in winch il iey blood tiioy would readily • t-i: J ia i limy WITH rtC.nig prematurely and hastily. . nl t in t they were askiug lor no subiitiiitiul tig' , benefit or privilege

Aid Cady advocated tho plan ol attending s o m e ­w h a t to the wishes of the lire department , especial ly when the tiou fulfilment of them w a s l ikely l u c a u s o the resignation of oue half of tho members . But notwithstanding this, he considered it loo late uow for this board to rct iuco their s teps , consis tent ly with their o w n dignity . H e contlc inn.d the pre­text upon which tho board uclt-ti in refusing the deparlmei the se lect ion of their officers. H e epoke of the highly rt-spcclahle character of a 'arge portion of the firemen, nnd thought that the w a y oi e levat ing the character of ihe dcdartmeiit general ly w a s t o meet their w i s h e s , aud not lo degrade them by at tempting to break down their self renuect

H i s honor the Mayor , ill reply to au interroga­tory of A i d Hl l lber l , slatetl that there were sume four hundred e x e m p t firemen in ihe c i ty , but e x ­pressed his uuct-rlaimy us to the number wlio would be likely to render their services when called 111.— H e had reason, however , to suppose that tho greater portion o f i h e n i would do so .

S o m e disconnected conversation occurred, during which ihe resignation ot "Engine Company N o . l o w a s remarked upon, w h e n Aid Mc Donald s la ted that the teasons which had induced their wi thdraw­al Were connected with ihe ine l ig ib le aud unsatis­factory location of their eng ine house . It hall heeu located near the At lant i c Dock in accorduncc with the petit ion of the property owners iu that vicinity.

The question w a s taken upyn the rcsulution of Aid. Fisk. and it w a s unanimously adopted.

Theferry question.—Aid M c Donald offered (he following preamble nnd resolution, v'z:

'' W h e r e a s , the iutorrsts of ihe city of Brooklyn hove for a long t ime suffered for the want of suit­able ferry facilities, in consequence ol the city of N e w York having assumed the exc lus ive right to establish ferries between N e w York and L-mg Island. A u d whereag, by an act of the legislature, paused by a two t h i t d s ^ v o l e . o u i h e . 1 4 t h of^.May, 1 8 4 5 — t h e y having appointed a board of Commis­sioners to license ferries. And w h e r c t s , -a li­cense has been obta ined from said Commiss ioners with tho assent of the present UusU'cs of the ferries named, and'iti accordance with.tbe v i ews of the citi-zeus of Brooklyn, fo: four ferries from Fulton ferry south. .And whereas , the c o m m o n counci l of N e w York have passed a resolution to employ addi­tional ooonool lo resist the establishment of said ferries aud the rights of Brooklyn- And whereas , it caunot reasonably be/?xpected that the granlcesof said licenses should be cal led upon, out of their pri­vate resources, to prosecute so important and expeu

"stvtr a suit as m a y l;c uecessary to maintain the rights of the c i ty of Brooklyn.

" Therefore tesolvedj. lhat a specia l commit toe of three members of this hoard be appointed to coufer with the grantees .of the l icense above n a m e d , in behalf of iho city of Brooklyn, with power to render such aid as may bo desired in viuJicat ing the rights of the ci ly uudersaid license, and for that purpose to employ counsel tin bohal fo l the city ; said counsel­lor to advise with said parties and Iheir counsel as lo their rights, and in rc.rpect, also, to such arrange­ment as may bo effected with tho common council «f ihe city ol" N e w York for procuring u speedy and final decision ol the legal questions involved."

T h e resolution was adopted and the following geul lemeu were appointed the c o m m i t t e e : Aid Mc Donald, T a y l o r and Schul tz
