[Here a rush from made ; intense excitement prevailed :

but the statements of both gentlemen were explained away and order was again re- stored. |

Councritor Crrtis then resumed cau!ion-

ing ali present to vote against the con struction vf a building which would add greatly to the burden of the taxpayers. - Henry Racxam, Ese., believed that the building was required, but if its erection involved a cost of $18,000 to $20,000 on the taxpayers he would not vote for it.

Grores Peake, Esq, said that the re- moval of the engine from Ward 1 would be a breach of faith with the people who subscribed privately towards the purchase of the engine and the erection of the engine house.

Joun P. Tanron, Esq., objected to certain items in Councillor Crabbe’s scheme The estimates of the building were too

small, He thought that $20,000 would be more likely the cost when completed. Again the building site cost too much

money. A right equally as good as the one bovght by the city could have been obtained for $2,000. The meeting, he said, was not legal, as the provisions of tue Statute regulating citizens meetings, were not complied with. The citizons had not thirty days notice of the meeting in two newspapers published in the city. It was, thesefore, illegally organized. He moved the following resoluticn :

Resolved,--That this meeting is opposed to the construction of the Building, and that the consideration of the subject be indefinitely postponed.

Councillor Curtis seconded the motion.

Councittor Haszarp said he believed in the scheme for erecting the new Building becanse it would affect a great saving to the city. It was- somewhat singular that the men in the Gouncil who were at first most anxious to have the plans of the new Buiid- ing given to their own favorite architects, were now the parties opposed te the Build- ing. He at first moved in the Council that the plans be given to competition, but

could get no one to support him. Finally the Council, fieding that the building

which the first architects planned was too expensive, threw ihe matter open to compe- tition, and they received plans which came within the bounds of money which they wish to spend on the building. It the citizens thought the building was still too expens.y@, let them order the Council to call for new plans of a cheaper building.
