<br /> With regard to the above matter, I, a minority of the Almshouse Committee, desire to report
<br />as follows-= That two nroDositione were discussed-bv the Committee looking to a s~ttiement of
<br />the matter, namely; That %he ~al%idders should d~aw lots for the award, or that it 'should
<br />be divided between %hem, but no conolmeion was reached bY us as to these
<br /> I therefore recommend that the Co~tuoil relieve the Oommittee from furthe~v consideration of
<br />the matter and dispose of itafterwards as it m~y be deemed proper.
<br /> I-suggest, however, that the award for medmcines should be made before January !st, or other-
<br />wise, the present, contractor, E. P. Wilkin$, wii2 continue to supply the City with them and,
<br />presume, not at contract prices.
