With the exception of a little ripple toward the close of the proceedings, the sesMon of the City Council passed A jott last nijtht as quietly and as tamely aa a eon? entioa of missionary worker, and the throng of spectators, which at first tilled the lobby to overflowing, jrradually drifted awsy, until at last the legislators had an Audnce only of empty benches. There was so moch regular business on hsnd to be transacted, that, although everything was done to hurry it through, the dial of the clock registered nearly 11 o'clock before the routine work was finished, and by that time everyone was too tired even to think of the bond ques- tion, so its consideration was very sagely postponed until Thursday evening; next. President Camron was in his teat almost precisely at 7:30 o'clock, and calling the meeting to order, the minutes of the last session were adopted, and then same the hearing of a mass of petitions.

They were ai follows: From Nicholas Liming, protesting against the assessment for the paving of Broadway, from the norsh tine of Seventh street to 200 feet south of First street.

City Clerk Brady tben pr -sented a long li-t of resolutions which bad been refetred to tbe Board of Public Works since the first day of April. There were over 200 of them, and before he bad read half way through them alt, Councilman Macdonald arose and wanted to now what it was all about.

Mr. Evans explaiued that tbe Board of Public Works had complained that tbe Council had not worked in harmony with them, and that tbe list was to show just what the Council had done for ibe board. Mr. Uackett thought the list should not be read befoie being exaruiuiued by a committee, and on his motion it was referred to the Ordinance and Judiciary Committee. Councilman Brosnnhan tben moved that when the Council adi urn it be until Thursday next, and that tben the question of water rates be taken up.

On being put to the vote, it was so agreed. Mr. Macdonald moved a suspension of the rules, and moved that the order of business be changed, putting "special buiineo'' where work" has been attended vice versa. He explained that it is so late when the Council generally gets down to the street work that it could not all be attended to, and be wouli like to have it attended to earlier. The motion was carried, and the street wjrk was theu called up.

Tbe Nineteenth Avenne Question. Proceedings in relation to tbe assessment for improvement of Nineteenth began with the reading of the following resolution from the Street Cummitf-e: Rt'nived, That in the matter of the appeals trom the assessment for the street work on Nineteenth aveuue it is ordered that the absesament is couiirmed, but that the assessment errs wherever it assesses any lot or portion of a lot for the whole cost of the work apportioned to aaid laud when said cost exceeds one half of the assessed value of such lot. And the tiuper-inteuaent of Streets is hereby instructed ti Usiio a new aasesment In conformity to this decision, and that then the assessment upon the identical lots referred to hall be only to tbe amount ef one-half of said lot's preceding municipal valuation and the proper romainder of said assessment shall be assessed to the city of Oak-laud." Mr. Hasset asked for permission to speak a few words and tben prote-ted against the adoption of tbe resolution, saying that tbe assessments ought to be uniform, and that they are not. Councilman Collins sad that it was with the object of settling the matter for good that tbe resolution had been presented by the Street Committee.

He did not know whether or not the assessor had d.me his work, but the committee had done everything it could in the premises. Mr. Uackett iumped up acain and said that lots bad been ass-esed at $530 that would not bring $350 in the market. Councilman Kirk wanted to know where they were and said be would take them ell. This raised a well-taken point of order, which was rdlowed by a few remarKs from Councilman Evans.

He said that in matter of the fact the individuals who are now protesting against the assessment are the very ones who petitioned for it. What was reallv the status of the matter, was that that the people were Irving to take advantage of the situation It was well known that the property aftveted by tne street work bad far enhanced in value, instead of deteriorated as bad been stated. Mr. will give you some of the lots for tbe Councilman Wakefield thought that enough bad already been, on previous occasions, devoted to the subject bv tbe Council and thus being evi dently the general trend of opinion, the roll was csiled and the resolution was declared adopted.

J. iaiTDIRS, GenersJ A rent lor, the I ordelw strees Crj for Pluih nee Coin councilman aicAvoy wanted it indefinitely postponed but it was referred the Ordinance Committee, where, judging by the remarks that were made, it will as-mrediv be killed. New ordinances were tben introduced as follows: Evablishing the width of the sidewalks on First street, from tbe east curb line of Broadwav to the west curb of Alice street.

Establishing the widtb of sidewalks on Clay street, between. Firsthand Seventeenth streets. Authorizing tbe Board of Pnblic Works to expend $10,000 for the reconstruction of the main lake sewer, between tbe east line of Broadwav and the inlet to said sewer at Lake Merntt, near the west line of Harrison street. Then came up the ordinance drawn in accordance with the tecomendation of the Board of Public Works for the expenditure ot $4000 for a burglar-proof safe for the treasury and Councilman Evans objected. The matter was referred, however, with the rest to tbe Ordinance Committee.

Funher ord nances were then read and referred as follows Authorizing the purchase of 3000 feet of tire hose. Ordering tbe opening and extending of Clay street, from its intersection with Seventeenth street to San Pablo avenue, and appointing commissioners to assess the benefits and damages entailed. Also an ordinance fixing the fees of tbe City Engineer. Authorizing the Board of Public Works to expend $1450 for macadamizing the roadway of the Twelfth street dam. This was also read for the second time and passed to print.

Apprjviug the enforcement of certain rnles and regulatious of the Board of Health in relation to plumbing and drainage. Establishing the official grade at tbe crossings of Harland, Hollis, Louise. Helen, Hannah, Ettie ahd Center streets. This also was submitted to a second reading. The Fire Limits.

When the ordinance fixing the fire limits was read. Mr. Bronal an offered ar amendment defining the fire limits by stricking ont the words "to tbe center line of Clay street and the point of commencement," and insert instead the fol owing words: '-five hundred and seventy-one feet, thence southerly to a point two hundred feet south of First street; thence westerly 410 feet; thence norther to the center of Fourth street; tnence weterlv to Clay street and the point of commencement." This led to a little discussion. Most of the Council were apparently thinking that amendments were needed. In the course of hi remarks Councilman Collins said that he wonld.

later on, move an amendment to take away tbe power of the Mayor to veto resolutions granting special privileges to construct wooden buildings in the fire limits. President Camron said that be would do likewise. On being put to vote it was decided that the ordinance be passed to print with the amendment of Mr. Brosnshan. A Secretary's Salary.

Then came up on second reading tb ordinance fixing tbe salary of the Secretary of the Board of Health ft $125 a month, and Councilman Tbwle jumped up with an amendment reducing the salary to $100. Councilman Hackett said that labor ought to be paid for, and that $125 is a small amount for a man doing responsible work. He did not think that a food man would work for less than 125 Brains ought to be paid for, and $125 is a small salary for a good man. Men could not properly support families on $125 a month. Councilman Wakefield thought $100 sufficient, and in warming up to his subject made a bull equal to those perpetrated by the celebrated Boyle Roche.

The gentleman from the Fifth ward," said Mr. Wakefield, "states that men cannot raise families on $125 a month. Why, they can do it on $100 In point of fact right here in Oakland thev are raiding tbem on $40 a month and are starving to death en that." Tbe laughter which followed drowned Mr. Wakefield's attempts to go on, but when he did succeed in obtaining a hearing, be said that he did not know whether or not the gentleman referred to in the ordinance bad a family or not. anyway "he ought to have," said the speaker.

Councilman Mc A voy spoke in favor of the ordinance, and said that theduties of the office are very heavy, and are folly worth $125 a month. Councilman Evans spoke in the same strain, and then Councilman Towle said that he thought $100 enough, adding that tbe city is paying its clerical force to much and "its laborers not enough. He said be could get all tbe men wanted for that work at $75 or less. Conncilman Collins thought it was cheeky for an advance of salary to be applied for, and that he would oppose it, and also all propositions for tbe advance of anyone's salary in the future. The amendment was then put to vote and was lost, and the ordinance was passed to print unchanged.

Councilman Collins then moved to adjourn to Thursday and the proposition was carried unanimously.
