6 REPORTS OF THE STA.\'DING
We respectfully recommend, that the Council permit whoever may be the Superintendent of Street-Work, to occupy the house and lot, known as the Ann Orphan ~hylum, free of rent, ina~much as his pay is not adequate to the maintainance of his family, and for the further reason that the City l1ns scarcely received anything for rents for tho last five or six years from said property.
In the month of September, 1RG7, your Committee acting by an order of Council, purchn~cd of J>. Sullivan, two mule.'!, two horses, one wagon, three carts, and sundry drills, hammers, &c., for the pur- pose of doing all street-work at the expense of the City, for the sum of $1,338 00, which deducted from $7,215 00, ( the amount appropri- ated,) will show S5, i7 00, the actual amount appropriated for city expenses covering the space of fourteen mouth~, a little Jcc;l'l, or about the amount asked for in the begiuing of the !aFt year, Lut not allowed by your body.
By the advice and consent of many of the members of the Coun- cil, your Committee finding tl1ey could do with one less of the horses, did, on t h e - day of November last, sell at public auction, on four months, time, one of the hor~cs belonging to the City for the sum of 1145 00, which has been duly accounted for.
Re,..pectfully Submited,
