lowed to flow in if desired. Tbe re

To the Honorable Mayor and Council

Tbe committee on cemeteries btg
leave to submit their annual report,
viz: We have bad the fenco around
tbe white cemetery whitewashed,
gates repaired, uew buckets put to
the well, grounds cleaned ont twice,
and we report tbe cemetery in a
cleanly condition. Tbo colored cem
etery we have bad enlarged, fence re
paired and whitewashed, and grounds
cleaned out Wo report tbe ceme
tery in a cleanly condition. Owing
to the unsystematic manner in which
the grounds of tbo white cemetery
bavh been used, there is but little
available apace unoccupied, and wo
wonld recommend that council take
oemetery be instructed to nse more
precaution, and not allow each a

8. C. Littlefield, Com
The report was received and re
ferred to tbe next meeting of Coancil.
The committee on public buildings
submitted tbe following report:
7b the Honorable Mayor and ConucU
of the City of Brunswick:
Your committee on public buildings
before closing np tbeir work for the
year, wonld very respectfully nrge up
on tbe incoming Coancil tbe necessi
ty of building a jail or guard house;
tbe building now used for that pur
pose being both unsightly and nnsafe,
and in its present diLpidated condi
tion we believe it to be very unhealthy.
We believe an arrangement can be
made with tbe County Commissioners
nt an early day to combine with the
city and build a guard house and jail,
one portion to be used for city pris
oners and tbe other for coonty pris
oners. Yonr committee have already
brought tbe matter bef^e the Connty
Commissioners, and they speak very
favorably of the proposition, and
promise to act in tbe matter as early
os practicable. We wonld again nrge
upon Coancil not to lose sight of this
matter, and when raising the revenne
for tbe city to provide a ram sufficient
to have said building erected. We
would respectfully call yonr attention
to several other buildings on Qaeen
Square as being unsightly, and rec
ommend that they be removed as ear
ly as convenient to do so.
Respectfully submitted,
J. P. Habaey,
Jesse Wider,
Committee.
On motion of Aid. Littlefield, the
report was received and laid over un
til the next meeting of Coancil.
Read the following communication:
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Brunswick:
It becomes my duty, as assistant
chief of the fire department, in the
ubsence of tbe chief, to report upon
tbo condition of tbe fire department,
which report I now beg leave *o sub
mit, viz: I report tbe steam fire en
gine, hose, horses, harness, nnd all
other apparatus thereto belonging, in
good condition. Tbe two fire wells
on Newcastle street are also in good
condition. Tbe band engine and
hose require some .repairs, which I
am now having done, and when com
pleted, will be in good condition.—
Tbe building occupied by tbe Ocean
ic Fire Company is in a dilapidated
condition, and in no way suited for
an engine house. The building oc
cupied by tbe colored fire company ia
also in a dilapidated condition, and
unworthy tbe name of an engine
house. Either bnilding wonld be a
disgrace as an engine be :to to any
city of one-fonrth tbe inhabitants of
ours, snd it is hoped that immediate
steps will lie taken to remedy the evil.
In order to make onr fire department
more efficient it is absolutely necessa
ry that we have at least four more cis
terns or fire wells, five hundred feet
of hose, a uew engine boose, so ar
ranged that we can keep onr harness
in the engine house, and tbe driver
also to sleep there; also a better
bnilding provided for the colored fire
company, a book and ladder compa
ny, and a fire alarm bell. I would
recommend that Council take prompt
action in putting our fire department
in snob condition as will make it ef-
means every property-holder will be
benefitted.
Respectfully submitted,
S. C. Littlefied,
Asst Chief Fire Dep'L
On motion, the communication wee

When people are astonished to

Every mah knows what is right,

Every duty well done odds to the

Tbio day should be tbe great festival
