KEPORT OF SPECIAL C03OIITTEES. To the Common Council: Your special committee appointed to investígate the obtaining of a safe for the City Glerk's office would respectfully report that they found in the City Clerk's office a large number of papers of value, which need to be placed in a fire proof vault or safe, and that these demand for safe keeping a safe too large to ue placea ou me second floor ín the present offices of the City Cierk. These papers are accumulating and if they could always be found in the proper files kept in a fire proof vault much annoyance woüld be saved future Couneils and valuable rights of the city would be preserved. The City Clerk's oflice should be in a building owned by the city and should not be changed every time a new clerk is elected. By these remováis, many valuable city papers have been lost in previous years, entaUing expense to the city. Your committee would therefore recommend that 110 safe at present be purchased, but that a special committee be appointed to see what changes, if any, could be made in Firemen's Hall so as to secure snitable city offices or to report npon some other place tor building city offices with detailed estimates of expenses. All of which is respectfully submitted, and your committee ask to be discharged f rom f urther consideration of the question. J. O'Maha, W. L. Taylok, Committee. Aid.
