MAYOR WooDHULL-The statement in some
of the papers that the Board Of Supervisors was
called to confirm the tax list, but could not proceed
to business on account Of the absence OF the Mayor
and Recorder, is an error. The Board of Super
vsors was called on Monday for the purpose of Sc
leciipg Grand Jurors, and The Mayor and Recorder
seye beth present, though their presence is not ne
cessary for this business The tax list was not pre-
scented at the Board, and it canzot be by law until
the second Wednesday in July, to which day the
Board Of Supervisors by direction Of the Mayor
adjourned Mayor Woodruff on Monday transacted
ali the business required at the Mayors Oihce, lin
itself no small days work. attended meeting Of
the Board Of Appeals relative to vessels at qusran
tine, attended meeting Of the Board OF Supervis-
ors and, with the Recorder, went to Staten Island
to take part in meeting one Of the trustees of
Sailors Snug Hubor. II that is not good days
work we know not wha. is Mayor Woodruff has
during bis whole term been very attentive to the
duties of bis Office and indefatigable in his Efforts
to promote the welfare Of the City. Daring the
present year he has not Lost single day, nor has
there scarcely day passed during which he has
not been engaged in hi, public duties much beyond
the usual flee hours Such devotion t. the public
good will, we believe, be duly appreciated by the
people.
We understand that it is the intention Of the
Mayor soon to retire for few days into the coun.
try, when our worthy and efficient President of the
Board of Aldermen, Morgan Morgans, will oiiciste
as Mayor
