mission to M. Schwartz to erect and retain stand on curb-stone
line in front of his premises No. 51 Vesey street, stand to be one

on a thoroughfare so crowded, and a sidewalk so narrow as that of
Vesey street, a stand of this character, I think, will be a serious
obstruction.

is hereby given to M. Schwartz to erect and retain
stand on curb-stone line in front of his premises No. 51 Vesey
street, stand to be one and a half feet wide by four feet in
length, the work to be done at his own expense, under the direction
of the Com-missioner of Public Works ; such permission to continue
only during the pleasure of the Common Council.

Hall, Keenan, Kiernan, Roberts, Sauer,
Shells, and Slevin-mo. Negative --Aldermen Bums, Finck, R. Hall,
