The motion was put and lost.A motion was then introduced by

Mr. Bright that the cost of repairs bo raised by loan. There was a great deal of discussion upon the motion. It was eventually put to vote with the result of 1 blank vote; 45 yeas, and 11 nays.

city is and has been continuously ad­vantaged, without any compensation to the marsh owners. In consideration of these facts, together with the statement that through the maintenance of the marsh banks the Ninth ward is, in its lower part, saved every year from flooded cellars and from dauger to the health of the residents and of their property, and for these reasons to ask of the publie bodies pecuniary aid to­wards defraying the expense of repair­ing the river btfuk. It was arranged that tbe next meeting shall bo at the call of the directors.

In general discussion of tho subject of city aid it was learned that if the marsh company does not make the repairs in question tho city will have to do it in self-protection. The city line goes clear to the river, £ of a mile below Edge Moor.

An expenditure of $2,000 would be required for temporary work to keep the wator off the Cherry Island Marsh Company’s property.

The rivor wall extends 1* miles from Edge Moor wharf to the lighthouse. At the lowest estimate, of 60 cents u foot, thte would be $5,500 for an ordinary river wall and $1,000 more for the inner wall. There are between 935 and 936 acres iu the Cherry Island marsh. At

assessment of $10 per acre to cover all expenses, the umount needed to put up permanent repairs would be about $10,000.
