spoken OF az an interpreter when appointed by this
Board The movement appeared to him 10 be polit-
ca. one ana he hoped the man would not be removed
without some other cause.
AID. CLAscr spoke highly Of the present nterpre
ter, and hoped no such action would be taken.
The resolution, on motion Of Aid. TUcKER wa re-
ferred to Special Committee.
The District Attorney's OGce-Ald. CI,scY offered
resointion that in consequence of the large
OF business Of the DstrctAstorneys Office it is neces-
.ary to provide additional clerical aid that the sum of
u, per annum be allowed to the Attorney
ID addition to the present allowance to provide sddi-
uona! aid in the discharge Of the public business.
Aid. CLANCY, in presenting this, said he did a.
tho request of the incoming District Attorney he had
been informed that there were indictments snd a
heavy amount Of other papers to be arranged and II
was highly necessary TO have additional clerical aid.
Aid. TUCKER opposed the resolution, contendRg
that there necessity for more clerical aid in
the Dttnct Attorneys office, there never had been
any application complaint from that Office; and he
could not how the District Attorney should
far ahead TO know that he would want extra
clerks and why this Board should think that the ne
Common Council could not "a well attend 20 the re-
quirements of these Offices There wss evidently a
disposition here to load the city with al the useless
expense possible.
AID FuLLNER spoke against the present District.
Attorney for having been active in making charters
10 legisate the Common Council out of Office He
supposed the business Of the Office had not been a..
tended to-but he thought the new Dttict-Attomey
should wait TIL he got into Office before he made sppl
cation for clerical aid He was opposed TO the move
nent.
AID. OwEss thought that the new District.Attorney
should wait until he and the Board came into
power, and then make his application. II was no time
bow when this BOrd was finishing up business to bring
up new matters.
The resolution was finally adopted

Aid. TrcKEB opposed the adoption OF the paner
He had examined the work AZ Il was progressing and
found it to be most rascally Job. Il WAS NOT n ac.
cordapce with the contract, and the contract ;tsaif
was illegal. would be wrong, therefore, for this
Board to recognize such contract
AID Owens urged that the subject be postponed
till Thursday, to give members time TO look into the
matter ..F - =
.Ab. STEERS opposed the motion and spoke in favor
ofthe contract. He had learned that the Croton Aoue
duct Board had refused TO send inspectors 10 supsrn
tend the work, and their objections to the contract
were because 1t was made under Commissioner Seiah.
lie hoped the subject would not be postponed.
AID. Blunt opposed the contract So far a. be had
learned 1t was defective the contractor was not put
ing down the material bsrgained for and he trusted
