Iograhnm, of Charleston, was read, and, on motion, was received ne information: Charleston, February 11, 1874. C. Bornum, City Treasurer?Sir: I wrote you October 80, about the city of Columbia bond, No. 61, in possession of Mr. J. T. Welsman, executor of his father, vT. Welaman, and then stated he would arrange it. On yesterday, he surrendered mo the bond, being satis? fied it waa the property of the estate of W. P. Ingraham. I will hand it to Col. Pinokney, my oo-execotor, who will Boon go to Columbia and band it over to yon, as it is yonr property. I regret this matter was not settled long since; bat it was no fault of mine, sb I have urged it ever since I was informed he had the bond at first. I send you an extract from my cash book, ehowirj when I got these bonds, No. 3, &o.. and did always collect tbe interest. Yours truly, GEO. IL INGRAHAM. This bond is for $500, issued March 21, 1850, and was supposed to have been lost iu 1865, when Sherman's army passed through Columbia, aud in 1867 a new bond was issued in lieu of tho same, but, having been found, is now to ho The following opiniou of J. D.Trade wen WuS pl'?aou?ci.1 by Uib IxOtiOi" iliu Mayor, who stated that he had asked it, ns an Alderman of the city had publicly stated that tho Mayor was ut fault for tho condition of tho streets aud f>idu walks. On motion of Alderman Griffin, tbo opinion wus received as iuformatiou, nnd was ordered to be published: Columbia, S. 0., Feb. 19. 1871. To Hon. John Alexander, Magor?Sir: In answer to your inqniry, ??Whoa par? ties are summoned to have the aids walks iu frout of their promises put in order, refuso to do so, and the ciry baa . ftp fundB to do tho name, nnd charge it .. to, the partieo tho samo as taxes, what power has the Mayor in the premises J thin?" I reply, that tho Mayor indi virtually is powerless, and that tho '" power iu question is vested iu tho Mayor nmb Aldermen in-Council, both by the AcU of tho General Assembly ?od tho oYdyinuces of the oity, to which 1 now v refer you. Iu tho seventh section of tho ? Act of 2d March, 1871, it is provided ns follows: "And suid Muyor and Alder? men shall have power aud authority to require all persons owning u lot or lots in said oity to close in and to make and keep in good repair sidewalks iu front of " ?Kitt-lot or lots, wherever the same shall '$JV or adjoin any publio street in said ??'pjfy, if. in their judgment, such sido '?AvatUs ehull be necessary?tho width iti?f'?of iiiiu tho m??n?r of construction to'Tio designated und regulated by tho jt?id Mayor aud Aldermen: aud for de? fault or refusal, alter reasonable notice, ,.vd5> make and ''keep iu good repair such ^Sidewalk, nnd to close in euch lot or .?}lpls, tho Mayor and Aldermen may jauso it to bo dono, and require the * owner to pny tho ooatrof the work; und ? the said Muyor uud Aider-men aio hereby empowered tu uuo for and-recover tho BAino by action in any court; of oouipfi leut.,jurisdiction: Provided; i'lih&t the ??nut mot, bo lot to tho lowest, responsible, bidder." [Weo City Compilation, page 78 of Aots.J By the fourth section of an ordinance concerning nuisances, ratified on tho 9th of May, 1871, (p. 8 of Compilation of City Ordinance:',) it is ordained: That, nil open cellars or pib;, whoro any houso or houses shall have boon burned or torn down, situated near any publio tproet or alley, shall bo ouoloscd by tho owner by a substantial foncoor railing; nud iu caso tho owner or owners of any tnch cellar or pit shall neglect or refuse to do so, after dno notice, the Chief Of I'.olicu or any of bie assistants shall Citnse the ?amo to be enolosod at tho ex* r?enso of buoh or/nor or owners. And by the tonth seel ion of an ordi* uuuco 4 conooruiug streets, pavements and shade trees, ratified on tbo 9th ol THE I) BY J. A. SBLBY. GO May, 1871, page 28 of Compilation of City Ordinances, it is ordained: That all owners of lots in the city of Colum? bia shall eaoh repair, mend and keep in order, at his or her own expense, the sidewalk butting on his or her lot, ao aording to such directions as the Mayor and Aldermen may, from time to time, give; and any person neglecting cr re? fusing to do so, after ton days'notice, shall forfeit and pay tho sum of Slu fur each aud every day ho or ubo shall or may so refuse or neglect; und it shall be the duty of tho Chief of Police, after the oxpiratiou of enid notice, to cause said sidewalk to bo leveled or repaired, nt tho cxpenso of tho owner of tho nd joiniug lot; which expense, when ap? proved by tho Mayor nud Aldermen, shall be collected in tho same manner as tho tax upon real cstato, after ten days' notice to the party concerned. By a further ordinance, at pago 43 of the same compilation, it is ordained: That the owners of properly or lots situated on Richardsou street, between Upper and Gorvais streots, on which thcro arc no buildings, shall, beforo tho lira! day of September, 1871, (printed, by mis? take, 1870,) cause tho samo to bo so curely fonced, tho fonocs to bo suffi? ciently high to prevent injury to pedes? trians; and when said lots have frontago on side streetB, said fences shall extend at least fifty feotfrom Richardson street. And by the seoond section it is ordained: If any person or persons owning pro? perty, us above stated, fail to comply with this ordinance, tho work shall be done by the city, and the cost of tho work charged against the owner as taxes, aud collected accordingly. It is thus seen that tho power over tho subject matter of your inquiry belongs to the Mayor and Aldermen as a body, and not to the Mayor alone, and that it is ample for the purposes contemplated, but that it must be exercised in accordance with the Act to which I refer you, so far as the cost is to be reimbursed to tho oily, when the work is done by it, and the work must be done by the lowest re? sponsible bidder; nor can the expense be charged and be collected as taxes, as the present ordinance provides, but must be collected by an action in any Trial Justice's court, if the amount do not exceed 8100. In addition to- the expense of repairing, mending and keeping the sidewalks in good order, to which the city may be put, aud whioh it may compel the property-owner to poy by an notion, I think the Mayor aud Aldermen may enforce the penalty im? posed upon defaulting owners iu the tenth section of thii ordinance, con? cerning streets, pavements aud shade trees, to which I call your attention; the penalty to be collected in tbosame man? ner c.z t!l*3 "<? if t.ii^ repairs of tho I sidewalks. Considering the great im? portance of your inquiries concerning the proper jurisdiction over those por? tions of the city water works referred to in your communication to me, I ask respectfully for further time for the pre? paration'of my answer. I have the lioucr to bo, yours respectful! v, JAMES L>. TRAUE WELL, City Attorney. Alderman Carpenter nnswerod, und argued against the decision of the City Attorney, und 1 bought tho matter be? longed to tho Mayor, and that ho had the power to act; that he was in fact the Council when they wore not in session. If be had not the power, they ought I > give it to bits, or to some one else. His Houor the Mayor intde some lengthy remarks, an follows: Tho Mayor stated that Alderin t:i Car punter had remarked, ul u meeting held in the Fourth Ward, that he (tho Mayor) had never enforced tho "ordinuueu ro gulatiug side-walks." L'ho Mayor stated that Alderman L. C. Carpenter's state? ment was false, which he c ?uld prove by tho Chief of Police, who, by his or? ders, bud notified different parties. Some individuals wore too poor, aud others repliod, lot the city authorities atteud to tho matter with regard to side? walks. Tho City Attorney givt? his opiniou in the premises who are the proper parties to enforce the ordinance and the mode of collecting. Tim Act of tho Legislature gives the Mayor and Ablen.lv u tho power, und not the Mayor alone. Mr. P. Ssbmidt, who owns n lot in the city on Richardson street, has dug out a cellar, preparatory to building, and has put up a temporary fence on a par! of it. Some citizens having fallen into tho cavity, I instructed I he Chief of Po? lice to notify Mr. S. to have the same fenced according to the ordiuuuoe rrgu 11ting tho same. Tho Chief of Police informs mo tbnt he has several times no? tified Mr. Schmidt, who replied that ho would not do it. I thou had Mr. Schmidt summoned before mo, und gave him until ? o'clock that evening to nave the fsnao < rooted. Uo failed to do tho same. The city not being in funds lo feuoe tho same, I asked tiia City Attor? ney what power tun Mayor had iu I ho promises. J lo gave as his opinion that tho Mayor had nono alone, and yet tho Alderman sayj tho Mayor never en? forced the ordiuanoo. I repeat, that tho Aldcrmuu's asftcrtiou.-t uro false. With regard to strocts, I will stale that Alder? man Carpenter is seoond ou the Com mitte>o ou Streets, and it iu u part of his duty to seo to them. Ho baa failed to do it. There are twelve committees?? 1 threo Aldermen to nach. It is expeetod ' that each committee will attend toils! AILY "Let our Just Censure ?LUMBIA, S. C, FRIDAY MC depart rennt, and the.Mayor never inter-1 ferea witii them, except wheu ho dlscc ' vers that'the aommittecs aro not attend? ing to their duties. I am awuro that the central portion of tho city ia not iu ns good condition ns it has been. This is owing to tbo fneb that the Chairman of tho Committee on Sheet* bus been opening nomo new streets on tho out? skirts: of tho city, so that tho poor mau can reach bis homo ns woli ns tho rich man, who lives in a central locality. I will hero state that Alderman Carpenter has not done his duty. Sociu time since, the City Council passed a resolu? tion making nrrangcnieuts with one of our banks to reoeivo our cily money, nud exehango the same for United States currency. Tho Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Menus has failed to make any report. I have been awaiting his oution. If he will Bay that lie cannot attend to tbo duties of his po? sition, I will do it myself. I never shrink from nuy duty that I am called upon to do, by day or by night. Alcler mau Carpenter states that it is not his duty to ruiso fnuds for tho city. I will stato that when W. H. Wigg, Esq., was Chairman of tho Ways aud Means Com? mittee, ho always attended to the duties devolved upon bis position with zeal and alacrity. Tho Alderman (L. C. Carpenter) is not fit for the position lie ocenpics us Chairman of tho Committee of Ways and Menus. A communication from the City At? torney was also presented by his Honor the Mayor, ns to tho power of tho Mayor nnd City Council in making repairs at the distributing reservoir of the Water Works; also, na to tho engine house or old Water Works, stating that, under the decision of judge Carpenter, he did uot think the city had tho right or privi? lege to make repairs, or to in- any way interfere; that the city hnd control of all hydrants, und distributing pipes, but nothing more, as everything had, by de? cree of the oonrt, been turned over to tho Colombia Water Power Company. It was, therefore, inenmbent on them to make the necessary repairs. On mo? tion of Alderman Lowndcs, tho same was received as information. Tho Mayor stated that, an the Colum? bia Water Power Company did not keep the fence in repairs around the distribut? ing reservoir, therefore, ho had ordered the same repaired, and hoped the Coun? cil would sustain him in his action. Tho following bills were referred to the Committee on Account?: E. 0. Pla? nier, Market; A. Palmer, street lights; Cr. G. Newton, miscellaneous; Globe Gas Light Company. REI'OltTS Ol? COMMITTEES. Alderman Carpenter, from the Com mittlre on Ways and Menu?, reported back the former report of that commit? tee, Willen WUa Itttui'?cu L?i tuirut ?ti ili? refunding tbo water frootngo on vacant lots, Buying that tho committee saw uo reason to change their report made ut tho last meeting. Oa motion, tlie re? port of the committee was adopted. The Committee on Accounts reported back the following bills, nnd iceom meniled pavmcut, which was udopteJ: J. Putker. 'B. P. Griffin, A. F.

Colemnu, examination of pauper lunatics; \V. Steiglitz, J. Alexander, A IA Canoll, J. A. Jackson, Cooper & Taylor, Guard House; Globe Gas Light Company, Slrcet Department; Cooper A Taylor, Hospital. Aidortnnn Carr, froui the Couiniilt?s (iu New City Hull, reported that the committee had met, and proposed that Mr. Cramer have entire control as to tho construction of the hull or theatre, aud usked Council to act. Some debate on sued us to tin? cost of tliu changes pro? posed, when it was left t.< Iku action nl the committee*, who agreed to meet at 11 o'clock or the 25th. AldVrinnn C.;rr, Cbairnnu of tlioCorr: mittcu on Liight.s, roportcd to Council that fifty barrels of nnpthu bad arrived, aud thai Ii" hud t lorcd it ut the Guard House; but sis ir was explosive, hi thought it best to build a shed on socio vacant lot. Ga motion, by Alder nan Carpenter, the committee were author? ized to build tho lied propose 1 ut some stiir-^\>'.?* point. Alderman Griffin asdesd as to the office of City Surveyor, end wuiitod to know who wan responsible; and stated that Mr. Mjles had, r<oia.! '-.yo years ago, bought it lot, h.iel tho tami surveyed by M. F. Jacks iu, Iben City Surveyor, and bnilt a house on the samo. The present surveyor had ro snrveyod the same, und took in a portio i of tho house on an nd joiuing lot, und Mr. Miles was ordered to move his bou.te, U-j thought that Council might to takesomu.action. At dotman Carroll thought tho (iiiej of City Surveyor might to be abolished.
