The CrTY INsPECToRslP-W WHAT DO THE
BOARD OF ALDERMEN MEAN THE conduct of
the Board Of Aldermen in rejecting the various
nominations sent to them by the Mayor for the
City lnspectorship, and leaving the city so long
without the services of the proper officer whose
business it is to look after he publication of the
streets, is highly reprehensible, and indeed inex
plicable, unless on the principle that they are
not satisfied with the confirming power which
the law gives them, but that they want to
have the appointing power too, contrary to law
and to precedent, and to every constitutional
principle Of our federal, State or municipal go.
vernments. By their arbitrary proceedings they
have hitherto defeated the intention of the law
If they we're able to urge any valid objections
against the nominees their opposition would be
all right. But the names sent in were unobiec-
tionable, and the Board could not assign any
reason, good or bad, against them. The public
have long suspected that they had q satisfactory
understanding with the late official, who forcibly
held over after his term expired and that the
nominees submitted for confirmation would NOT
make terms with them 10 acceptable AZ those
they could obtain from him. But now
that bis pretensions are overthrow by
