Mr. J. D. Seaman considered the ex- plaination given by Councillor Horne satisfactory, and thought his services were still required for Ward §. He would, therefore, nominate him, which was second- ed by Mr. John Harper.

Mr. G. ©. Hooper said the present compact should be dissolved, three months salary should not have been voted Marshal Flynn,“and alteration in contract of City Building would cost the city more than they expected, a

Mr. W. N.
