The Taxpayers' Protective aasociatloa met at 4 o'clock yesterday at the office of Mr. J. C. League, but being unable to secure the constituted quorum, the chairman moved that they ncljonrii over until iioxt Monday at the same time. The motion was seconded and adopted, but not before some general "discussion was had concerning the business of the association.

Mr. Joseph. Franklin used a many words to impress the meeting that it should be a part of the duties of the executive committee to get up the proposed petition ret erred to at previous meeting, and present the aame to the city council or the lumrd of appraisers as a means of redress. Mr, Robert Franklin said that such a petition, as suggested by Mr. Joa.

"Frankl i would no doubt be very desirable; but lie thought that unless it was made for a thorough investigation, it would be of no moment, and might do more harm than guod. "WhHt they wanted, he stiid, was a committee to organize and up a thoroughly capable petition, aud for that reason thought the association could not bo too cautious in Uio formation of the They should have it of all classes nr" citizens. He thought that the associa- tion would accomplish a great deal of good, though was a large effort they had uu- derttiken. He said they wanted people in whom they could placn confidence, aud who would sustain them in their efforts for reform. It would be best, he thought, not to tlelay too long in getting down, to solid Imt-iuess, and tiring more enthusiasm into the members.

Mr. Franklin thought they should niflko use of advertising, uncl to this effect moved that all those present come up and their iH) cents, which was so stipulated in tlit) constitution and by-laws, us a means of clef my in the cxponsos of! advertising.

Heiad also received no notification officially from the Wharf company removing the restriction of 25,000 cubic yards per annum. In the face of these facts he could not draw up the contract.

Alderman Bherwood thought the matter ehcmld be referred to the committee on water supply. Alderman Fowler saw no use of incurring the delay that would be incident to this reference.

The city had no other alternative left save to make a contract witli tho Waterworks company and might as well do to at once and BO notify the, cooiimuy, that they might not be delayed in their proposed work. Ho moved that tlio committee so notify the Waterworks company and tbe motion was carried. Tho waterworks committee further reported two claims of the Waterworks com- jmiiy, one for $7 interest due on March payment and another for $20 for water supplied in wetting down poatoflloe street for jjitving. The lulln wore received and re- terrt'd to the proper committee. Alderman towier suggested that any further contract made with the Waterworks company Bhmild include all water furnished tho city to obviate uny moro such bills as this one for $2().

The motion that the contract with the Waterworks company be renewed was, ou motion, reconsidered, and the matter re- lerrcd to the committee an water supply to draw up a contract that would in the future obviate these for extra water.
