CITY ITEMS.


session OF the Board Of Assistant Aldermen will
beheld next week. The Mayor has the right to
call an extra session upon the request of MAORI
ty Of the members, specifying in the call the sub
jects to be acted on. We know Of no business
that requires the speedy action of our City Faith
ers, bat we presume the object OF the session Will
be to take action upon the Gas Contract, that
now lays dormant upon the table OF the Board OF
Assistants That, we should think, would keep
until the at of May without spelling.
ANOTHER OMNIBUS DIFFICULTY-The omnl'
bus people appear to have great propensity for
getting in a snarl since the incoming OF the new
Mayor. We have already recorded numerous In
stances in which the line of duty did not appear
TIE same both to bis Honor and the stage proPrie-
tors and their drivers, and many an unlucky Jehu
has had 10 pay roundly for not looking through
the same spectacles as the Chief Magistrate. But
It appears the end is not yet, for on Wednesday
there appeared a new line of coaches, and the
whole squad to the number of fifteen, resolutely
persisted in departing from the line laid down in
the permit. This brought an admonition from the
Mayor and we believe the refractory coaches will
pursue the right course hereafter. This prompt
action on the part of the Mayor is commendable,
Tor the different lines should be kept strictly to the
routes designated.
