The $4,000 bonus to Mayor Wood was voted
after sharp contest. 'One of the items added IL
$4,000 for breaking up the Russ pavement IN
Broadway. This looks like o pension fund for re-
firing members; once begin to tinker the pavement,
snd the work will be interminsble. Ii might be
thought courteous perhaps, to leave this tax levy
to be doctored By the new Board who are to have
the disbursement Of il; but the present members
are afraid Of Mayor Tenants veto, and will rush
it through before the signature of Fernando Wood
becomes worthless. The Mayor sent in veto of
the bread ordinance, which he entirely msunder-
stands, assuming that it regulates prices, when it
simply demands sale by weight, and not in chunks
without uniformity Of weight or measure. A num-
Der Of small rewards TO clerks and others were run
through. The Board is to meet every night until
New-Years.
