We do know, however, that the eternal “luss at fires’’ destroys more property in tho long run than the fire itself. It is a very easy matter for a fire company to do, unnecessarily, han dreds of dollars worth of damago by flood ing houses, in close proximity to burning butldiugs, with water; spoiling expensive carpets, etc.; and it is also very easy for thorn to pull down valuable fruit cr shade trees, and costly fences, trample down dower beds and gardeu productions, run riot through houses in squads, and do many other things unnecessarily —all of which costs hundreds of dollars. The firemen do net have to pay for damages thus put upon owuers ot property, consequently they are not as careful as they might be sometimes. OFFICIAL C.ty Council Proceedings. REGULAII MEETING, ) 'Augusta, Feb. 7, 34 o’clock p. m. J The City Council met. Present: His honor, Mayor Hbodgett. Aldermen Puilpot, Twf.bdy, Levy. Rhodes, Bollock, and Lynch.

A petition from citizens aud tax payers of the fourth ward, relative to the drainago of certain streets, was read, and on motion, referred to a special committee—Messrs. Lynch. Levy, and Tweedy. The following communication was receiv ed. and on motion of Mr. Bullock, referred to the Mayor, with power to act as he shall deem best for the interests of the city • Augusta, ©a., Feb. 4, 1868. To the Ilonornhte the Mayor and City Council of Auyneta : Uestlekes—At a recent meeting of the Fa culty of the Medical College of Georgia, the undersigned were appointed a Committoe to report to the city authorities the condition of the Dispensary at the Collego, and to solicit a renewal of the contract establishing the same, which will expire on the lsr of March next. The Committee have, accordingly, carefully examined the records, and bog leave to report as follows; The Institution has worked well,and to the satisfaction of all parties, conferring mutual beneGts on the City and College. It is the general opinion that the poor havo been more liberally supplied with medical services and medicines than formerly, and at much less ex pense. The number of prescriptions filled at the Dispensary during the past six months has been 3,764, of which 855 were for the Policlinic ; 2,909 for outside physicians. The cost of medicines thus far has been $1,054 28, heiug at the average of $175 per month. The expenses have been unexpectly increased in consequence of the un precedented epidemic ot malaria! fevers which attacked tho city early in the summer, and the effects of which wero felt far into the winter months. It has now ceased, and the expenses for the month of January show a consequent decrease of one-half, compared with preceding months. This decrease will continue until mid summer. so that it is confidently expected the ex penses will not much, if at. all, exceed tho origi nal estimate, ills Committee, therefore, respect fully submit the claims of the Faculty lor a renewal of their contract. The Committee aave beeu credibly informed that the Hospital established by the Frccdmen’s Bureau is about to be turned over to the city authorities. Should their information bo cor reet, and iu view or tbs great value of the material of that institution for clinical purposes, tho Faculty would like to contract with Council for its medical services, subject in ail respects to the regulations now governing the City Hospital. The Faculty would appoint one of their number to perform the services for one year, subject to the rest as a consulting board. For these ser vices they would claim compensation at tho rate of S6OO per annum. The Committee believe that tho most efficient service would be thus secured in the mest economical manner. Respectfully, F.dv.med Gkdiung Hesuv F. Campbell, Com. on Dispensary. The following communication from the Fire Wardens, was received and reierr <1 to the Committee on Engines, with pow- r to act: Augusta, Feb. 7 i SOS. To the Honorable the Major and Member* of the City Council of Augusta : Gesti.e.vkn —The undersigned would ro peot fully call the attention of your hooorabl. body to the cellar doors attached to the Kcr buildings, on the corner of Broad and Jackson streets. As at present constructed they are a serious ob struction in the way of Engines going to fires, being so much raised abovo the sidewalks the Engines are liable to ho overturned and damaged, unless considerable care is used, which is not often thought of when firemen are going to a fire. Wo would therefore recommend that the owners of the property he required to take th m down, and make them comply with the City Ordinance. J. A. Kobert, I). 11. Denning, C. A. Pi. ATT, J. B.
