Only the Board of Councilmen were in session

Only the Board Of COuDcilmen were in session
last evening the Aldermen lacking quorum. A
siIy proposition from the Aldermen to furnish
each member of the Common Council with gold
badge, instead of the silver one now worn, was
laid over. We respectfully suggest that if the
movers in this matter have any regard for the
fitness Of things the most suitable metal for
their badges would be brass. A resolution to in
crease the salary Of the Deputy Street Commits
siOner from $500 to SO, 500 was laid over. Is
It not time that this constant movement in favor
Of extrayagant salaries was checked If these
officials feel themselves poorly paid, we doubt not
their places can be filed readily, with equally
competent men, at the present rates. In cOnse-
qaence Of the rumOrs Of the use Of corrupt in
fuences lie passing the resolution awarding the
STRENGTHENING contract to Mr.. Hackley for FIVE
years, at $64, 900 q year more than an equally
responsible bidder stood ready to take it for, the
Board resolved, if the Aldermen concur to ap-
point Joint Committee to investigate the mat.
Ter. In our statement Of the vote on this con-
tract in the Board of Couneilmep, the other day,
we were in error. Messrs. Orion and HazeltoD,
Republicans voted ia favor, and MesHs. Bran
don and Curnen Democrats, against the award.
Had Messrs. Orion and Hazelton voted with
their Republican friends, it would not have
passed.
