Last) night, in the. City Council,. .ihiMayor said, since the decision of .tie other night the special Committee hud gone into the question of the providing of a Central Yard for the city. They had gone into the matter pretty fully, and had . brfo« them: three other sites. -These were:'■*-(1) Vincent's Brewery, onfi acre, witli the buildings thereon; (2)' half an acre near V incentY Brewery; (3) one acre and a half at the corner of Gloucester and' Manchester streets, Which the Special Committee had agreed to recommend to the Council. As regarded tie destructor, he took it, after what had been said on. the subject by two of the wards of the city, and the decision of the Cottttcij thereon, that it was the wish of the Oouacil that the destructor should be placed outside the city, and that the site of th« yard should be central. As respected the he understood an application on this subject was to.be made to the Hospital Board. That narrowed the whole question-dawn.to the acquiring of a Council yard, and the Special Committee recommended the one at the corner of Manchester aaid Gloucester streets.
