I E.W. pattarson, Eaquira, I Mayor, I and I j \ Memgers qf the Commoncouncil. \ Yours Worship and Councillors:- I I t I "February 7th, 1949. I have been a sked to give an opinion es to whether or not the Common Council we swithiIr' . its legal right in passing certain resolutions restricting the Power COI(~ission of the City of Saint Johm I from making ap:pointments to its staff,carrying a:salary':greater"thah:o $3,600.00. Two other resolutions were also passed at the same time, one dealing with the office of Chief Enginear and General,Manager, end another with the number of m~etin@s for which the member? of the Powe~Comm~ssion could be paid for I attending. However as these two latte~ resolutions_ware'rescinded, I need not discuss them in this opinion. ' ' the I I l sub-section (b) of section 28 of Chapter 24 R.

Patter~on, Esquire, Mayor Aldermen Belyea, Howard, Leonard, McPhail, steel and Whelly. I Minutes of Common council of the twenty-second of February last were read and confirmed. Alderman Belyea expressed the opinion tha~ tpe d~cision of the council to approach the Legislature for authority to pass a bond issue on a two third's vote, in lieu of a unanimous vote, as at present, should have the unanimous consent of all the members of theCoIDmon council. However, no change was made in the decision to approach the Government in respect to this matter. I Minutes of Common Council of the twenty-sixth of February last were read. A motion was made for the confirmation of the said minutes. On the question being put, Alderman Belyea stated he would like to comment on the budget passed on the twenty-sixth instant. ',He contended that Aldermen Leonard and McPhail should not have voted on the budget, repeating his allegations, made at the meeting of the twenty-sixth instant, that the said Aldermen as members of the Horticultural Association were not qualifi~d to vote money vmich would be expended by the Association. He remarked that if these Aldermen had refrained from voting there would have been sufficient members to vote upon the budget, and it could have been passed with the exclusion of the proposed grant for the 'Horticultural Association, and a grant to this Association deferred for further discussion. He charged that the grant, made under this budget, to the said Association w~s not legal. He then asked the City Solicitor to give his opinion in regard to this matter. e At this point Alderman McPhail interjected, stating that he had secured advice from one of the leading solicitors in the City on the matter in question.

They had requested permission of the Council to select a representative citizens' committee to work with them. He believed that they had been fortunate in securing the services of the citizens selected. He stated that he believed it would be the proper gesture to make an expression of appreciation of the time and effort expended by these citizens.

MCl.t.kL __:::II and ascertain if they wished to purchase the portion of the market building, referred to as proposal "C" 1- ' -..-' ----- in the market committee's report. He felt that this would eliminate any opposition when a bill might be I presented requesting authority for sale of this portion of the market property. He believed that if this ! sale could be made it would be a good move from-an economic standpoint; the balance of the building could then be properly renovated by"the City for a market. He stated that if the Council feel that the majority I of citizens wished to retain the entire market property due to sentimental or other reasons, then this procedure could be followed, but not represented under the guise that it was an economically sound method of treatment, a'nd would mean revenue for the City. The market committee had made its report from an I economic standpoint and had advised that the building was not suitable for office accomodation as it would not permit sufficient office space for rental, with provision for elevator installation, to allow I .

On motion of Alderman Whelly /J:JaJ? ta-~ . I His Worship submitted a letter, dated February 21st, 1950, forwarded to' him by the store Tenants' in the Charlotte street portion of the Building, outlining proposals for renovation of their premises at their own expense. Alderman Belyea expressed the opinion that lowering of the ceilings wo1\J-d greatly reduce the cost of heating. 'Alderman Steel stated that this had been gi VElD consideration by the pre)lious Market Committee and it was felt inadvisable as it would interfElre with the windows. She continu6d:~et the proposed modernization by these store Reepers would mutilate the old architec* ture of the market building, which the citizens were endeavoring to preserve as a tourist attraction. AlderlOOn steel said she would prefer the erection of' a new building, with greatly increased revenue rather than agree to this proposition. e .His Worship then read a report, dated March ;'::4th, 1950, he had received from Messrs. Alward and Gillies, Architects, re propoSeQ alterati,ons to the Market Building proper. Sketches of 'the proposed alterations were viewed. Alderman Belyea moved that a resolution be ad.opted to provide for the acceptance of the recommendations, numbered one, two and three, in the report of Alward and Gillies, and for the immediate call for tenders for the work req,uired in this connection, but there was no seconder. Alderman Whelly stated that after the Ci~y's approach to the Legislature that permission to sell the Market property would not be grantee" and this fact must be accepted. He commended the splendid presentation made by the pre1vious market committee, stating th~t it was ideal ~ but impossible to accomplisl;l. It was therefore necessary- to look for some alternative scheme, and the only one would be to tear down the market completely and use it in connection with ,street purposes, or a parking lot, or else 'repair it somewhat in accordance with the' recommendations outlined in the Mayor's report. I On motion of Alderman Whelly I Seconded by Alderman Belyea RESOLVED that the report of His Worship the Mayor re the Market Building, submitted this date to the Council, be adopted: AND FuRTHER that the store tenants in the Charlotte street portion of the Market Bu~lding be given a ten year lease, and permitted to make the renovations as suggested by them, and tenders called for the renovations as recommended f'or the upper portion of the market building, with the provision that before proceeding with action for repairs to this section of the market, that some arrangement be made with the Merchants in the Germain Street building to permit renovations there. e Alderman Steel moved in amendment that some person or committee be asked to i.is-oertain the cost 'of the proposed alterations as recommended in the Mayor's report, as well as to study the proposals of the previous'market committee, and also find what income could be I derived from both proposals, but there was nO'seconder.' ! -~ r - 667~ \ , " \ " , ' I I if .
