TilE ALDERMANIC BOARD

Discuss Important Coramnnlcations ata Special Session Dr . ' Watt's

Disputed Account .

The Government Propose a . MoneySavinir Method of Adjustment

The Indian Reserve .

There was a full attendance at the specialmeeting of the City Council held last eveninK with His Worship Mayor Beaven presiding . The reading of tho minutes wasquickly disposed of and the Assessment By .law , as reported front committee , was dulypassed .

On the Mayors recommendation , the by¬

law which provides for the closing of a por .

tion of Craigflower road was allowed toremain on the table, the date for its cominginto effect being left blank until the Councilpasses a resolution dealing with the subjectand the usual notice has been given in theGazette .

The Mayor next presented the followingstatement : .

I

Tho undersigned begs to direct the attentionof the Council to the lollowlng :

At n meeting of the Council held on the 18thInstant a motion to placo the sum of $ t07,50 In

:1IIhands of the commissioners to salariesallowances In connection \ . ttl sewer

age works tor the month of December , 1892 ,was rejected .

That It Is presumable that similar clnlms willbo made for the month of January, 1893 . and Induo course for the ensuing months unless somefurther action Is taken by the Council .

That the rejection of the motion to pay forservices rind ired In December . 155 ? , Indicatesad cilro to discontinue the services , but doesnot absolutely say so .

'rhat the contract entered Into with Mr .JlcUcan In 1890 , according to schedulerates amounted originally to $: m.OiOH . andthe addition made by the Council after thecontract wan lot . Increased the coat of the workby over 50000.00 .

That work was done by Mr . McBoan . to thevalue of ll)2,3U0.78) . up to the time the contract was terminated , and SUI.Col.8li( paidthereon , leaving a balance o ' $17.711.92 duo ac ¬bytheat the expiration ef the term of maintenance ,provided no further repairs are required .

That the resolution of the Council terminattag Mr . McUenn'a contract paaecd on :31stAugust , 1892 . tad ho was notified on 1st Sep ¬

tember . 1892 .That according to clause IS of the contract ,

ten days ' notice Is sufficient to terminate thecontract .

That the balance on hand . December 31 ,1S92 , from money obtained under the Sewer-age

¬

Loan Bylaw. 1890 , was $ IS.80UG , out ofwhich . In addition to the amount payable toMr . Mclionn . should bo provided the balancewhich will bo duo to the U . C . Pottery & TerraCotta Company on completion of their contract . of about $11,5GO . and the sum of 1000 tothe Douglas estate for the rlghtof way through

'

section 82 , Fairfield estate , besides the cost ofconnecting the St . Joseph's Hospital and theConvent buildings with the main sewers :

The undersigned , therefore , requests theCouncil to signify their wishes In regard to the .monthly expenditures , nnd urges Immediatenotion to connect the buildings on the line ofthe sewers now In the ground . In order that :the sewers may bo tested before the expiration

,

of tho period during which Mr . Mclican )Iuu IIcontracted to maintain them .

( Sd . ) ItoiiERT BEAVRX ,Mayor .

The Sanitary Engineer also presented areport on the same matter , as follows :

Hit H'orsltfjithc Mayor and Hoard of Aliler-men :

OENTLEIEN-I have the honor to acknowl .edge the receipt of n letter from the City Clerkstating that the Council decline to sanctionthe payment of the accounts certified to audchecks signed by the Sewerage Commissionersfor amounts duo to various per < ons to 318t Docomber last

From the newspaper reports It would seemthat the Council are under the Impression thatthe Commissioners have, no munuy to their

I credit other than a sulHclcnt sum to cover thebalance which may become duo to Mr . Jlc .

Bean under his contract at the expiration ofIIthe term maintenance some three monthshence .

I beg most respectfully to state that such linot the cam : there Is now Iho the bank to thecreditor the :0 *erne Commissioners morethan $ I.OCO in excess of iho sum which may torequired to cover the abovementioned bal .ance . I have the honor , etc . ,

( Signed ) KUWARD MoiiL'x .

TUB MAYOR remarked that it would benoticed there was a discrepancy betweenthese two reports . The Sanitary Engineerignored the amount due to the Terra Cottacomp1nyand for right of way over theDouglas estate .

ALD . BELYEA contended that provisionhad to ba made for the payment of the billsalready due , some of which were for sal .

aries .

ALD . BAKER said it was shown that therewere no funds on bund , notwithstanding thereport of the Sanitary Engineer . TheCommissioners had not handled the mutterin proper form . He thought that if theSanitary IEngineer and the Commissionerswould look at the matter rightly they wouldresign .

THE MAYOR explained that contracts hadbeen let for sums which exceeded in thewhole the amount for which the SewtrngoLoin Debentures sold . The sum of SI lCJOdue to the Terra Cotta Co. was in considera-tion

¬

of the payment for the six.inchsewerpipe held back from delivery by requestof the Council . The contract for the pipewas still binding although the pipe had notbeen delivered .

AID ; STYLES and Baker contended thatthe employes on the sewerage work shouldbe notified that they would no longer be re-

quired¬

, as there was no money left to puywages .

ALD . BF.I.YEA introduced resolution pro .

viding for the payment of tahrica for December . After it had been pasted theMayor remarked that provision would nowhave to bo made for January .

ALD . MUNN moved that the latter part otthe Mayors report bo referred to Cite Sani ¬

tary committee .to report on Wednesdaynight .

ALD . MAKER moved in amendment thatthe Sanitary Engineer and the SanitaryCommissioners be notified that their serviceswill be no longer required .

ALD . BRAGQ seconded the amendment , onthe principle of stopping expenditure whenthere was nothing with which to meet it .

The original resolution was carried .

The Library committee recommendedthat the offer of the Journal of Commerce toadvertise the city by means of 2,000 copiessupplied to the city at 5 cents emjh: be notaccepted . The report was adopted .

The Hoard of School Trustees communi

I cated with the Council to obtain the use offf

five upper rooms ' in the City Market forschool purposes , to 'prevent overcrowding-in thE present buildings . '

ALD . BKLYEA and McKiLUCAN stronglyopposed the .proposition both for the Bake

of the children and also on'account'-

of theeffect on the

.building , but principally the

former .' The Council here adjourned to the com

mittee room to hear a deputation from theSchool ' Board upon the subject of overcrowding .

Upon resuming the session Aid . Munnmoved that the request of the Trustees .

bo

complied with at a nominal rental .

An amendment was made placing therental at $15 a> month for each room .

The matter was dropped on an adverseveto against its adoption .

A motion by Aid . McKilltcan , that tenders bo invited for the printing of 500

copies of the report for 1802 , was carried .

ALD . BRAOO moved that'a publio meetingof the citizens be called to take into consideration the acquisition of the IndianReserve by the city . *

ALD . BELYEA stated that he had ready aresolution to have something " done . " Thecitizens had heard enough " talk " ; itwould please them better to see some stepstaken in the matter .

The motion was curried .The following letter was read from the

Deputy Attorney-General with reference tothe account of Dr . A . T. Watt for prof'es-

sional

¬

services during the smallpox epi ¬

demic .VICTORIA , Jan . 23 , 1893 .

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City ofVictoria :

GENTLEMEN :-1 have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 7thInst . , In the matter of the account of Or . A . 1 .

Watt agalnet the city , or settlement In regardto the amount of the account .

It may now bo presumed that the only ob-

jection¬

to the payment of the bill Ili on accountof the unreasonableness of tho charges . Theletters from Doctors Unvlo and Mime , enclosedIn ray former communication . appear to theGovernment sulllclaDt to flx the scale and tosettle any question as above .

The Government do net desire to use theclause In the health rules which was designedto secure payment of just accounts by partiesnecessarily employed by the city In carryingout the rules .

It Is contrary to the whole spirit of the rulesthat nn employe of the city under the rulesand moro especially a professional ono , should-be driven to sue for the recovery of his fees .

In order to determine the amountof time account and the reasonableness of the charges , I Imvo been In ¬

structed to Inform you that the Governmentwould propose that ft bo left to any Jvdgo ofthe Supreme court us solo arbitrator to decideI

upon time reasonableness of the account , and lofix the amount .

This would avoid expense and trouble andwould no doubt be satisfactory to tile city .

1 have boon asked to request you to furnishthe Government with the name of the judge ,if the above arrangement Is acceded to , towhom the question might bo loft

I have the honor to boo sir ,Your obedient servant ,

(Sd ) A . G . SMITH ,Deputy Attorney General .

ALD . BELYEA said the principlei involvedin this bill was of great importance . TheGovernment seemed to have power to contract bills to any amount and then requirepayment by the Council on the threat ofputting the sheriff in possession . Ho favoreda postponement of the question until legaladvice could bo obtained .

This was acquiesced in by the remainderof the Council , and an adjournment wasmade till Wednesday evening .

gether for the purpose of ascertaining theirfeeling as to whether they wished him tocontinue in the pastorate . lie did not boo

licvo the (action of the meeting would boendorsed by the congregation .

Mr . J . B . McKilligan did not think , In

justice to the reverend gentleman himself ,

that this would bo a wise course to pursue .
