M6Crary Engineering Company was, on motion duly made and seconded, acoepted, and the City Attorney was instruoted to prepare and have exeouted a proper oontraot. The president of the Council then stated that the rapid de- velopment of the City made the burden of the ~ork upon the different members of the Council quite onerous, and suggested that each of the standing committees be composed of one member of the Council, who should assume full responsibiltty for the work, and two other citizens who should aot in an advisory capacity.
