The City Council met last evening for

the purpose of examining the Books of the

late City Collector, Mr. Shepherd. Pres ent were Mayor Daws n, Recorder Fit: gerald, Councillors Murphy, Chappelle,

Koughan, McLean.

Councillor Chappelle, remarks, submitted t! ment, showing the amount which remains uncollected

lotsl amount uncollected, $3,296 25.

He also submitted a comparative statement |

showing the difference in the collection during the last year Mr. Shepherd was in office—1880—and the present year when the taxes were paid at the City Clerks Office. In 1880 the Collector's returns amounted to $23,328, while in 1881, $29,- 378 were paid into the City Clerk's Office. This proved that the present system of tax gathering was superior to the old.

Tne Recorder stated tnat by order of the Council he submitted a list of those in arrears fer City Taxes for i879 to Mr. Shepherd, and he, on examination of it, certified that there were only five names that paid the taxes for the years mentioned. These names were afterwards shown to the City Glerk who coavinced Mr. Shepherd by his (the Clerk’s) books that these five parties did not pay.

[It was moved by Councillor Chappelle, seconded by Councillor Koughan ,—

Resolo-d, That a comnittse of three be ap- poiated to ascertain the names of all parties in arrears for City Taxes previous to 1851, and to enforce immediate payment thereof.

Carried unanimously.

Committee — Councillors Koughan and Morris.

The Committee were instructed to pro- ceed immediately against the delinquents.

Councillor Chappelle asked that the amount collected from Bishop McIntyre, as taxes for the City Hospital, be refunded. This could not be done, in the opinion of the Recorder, as civic taxes could not be remitted. The matter could be remedied, the Mayor remarked, by giving the amount collected asa donation to the Institution. His Worship took this opportunity of re- turning thanks to the Superioress for her kindness in admitting the Spanish eailor to the Hospital, and also reviewing the action which he took 1n trying to have the sailor adautted to the Marine Hospital. He said his letters to Dr. Taylor on the ccca sion were gentlemanly, while the Dr.’s, as the p coarse and in- sulting.

It was moved seconded by Cou

by Connecillor Chappelle, neillor Koughan, that the

sum of 832 be donated to the Charlottetown

Hospital.

At the sug srestion of Conncillor McLean, the amount was raised to $50, and the motion Was carried.
