THE CLEANERS OF THE COURT HOUSE.
ha bsv en- % th n
ployes Of the New Court House be paid as promptly
as possible by the Comptroller:
Alderman VAN SCHAlCK presented minority re-
port protesting against the payment OF an empoye
named Joseph Shaw, whose name was on the pay
both appontments. Superysor Van Sci schscH said said
in answer to Supervisor Conover that the latter
Supervisor knew that the payment to this Mr..
the county. It was not true that he
had any personal feeling or enmity. He Super
visor Van Schaick) was but a very humble ind-
vidua In politics compared with Supervisor Como
yer. He objected to the payment OF Mr.. Shaw, be-
cause he believed that he had no right to the money
for he had received large payment up to June
last from the Court OF Sessions pay roll. All that
was wanted was an investigation. SO that IL may
be found certainly whether this Shaw was the
same man or not,
Supervisor COCHRANE moved that nine names on
the Court House pay roll including shaw's be re-
ferred back to the committee. His resolution was
passed unanimously, and the remainder of the pay
roll was accepted.
supervisor CONovER offered resolution by which
the payment should be made only on the certificate
OF the present janitor Of the service having been
performed
resolution authorizing the furnishing OF the
anitors rooms, at an expense OF 81, 50o was moved
by supervisor CoNOvER
Supervisor VANCE said this might be the practice
In times past but he hoped it would be dscontin-
ued 1t might be the practice not only to furnish
When 1t was considered that the Board already
give him house, COAL fuel and light, 1t was out
rageous to suppose that the rooms were to be fur
nished for him Also II the salary was not enough
he would propose to increase 1t.
supervisor GIIsEy said that II was very bad
predecent for the Board to establish. The janitor
might be removed next year.
The motion or supervisor Punkett to lay the reSo-
luton on the table as to furnishing the janitor's
room was carried The resolution requiring the
certificate or the janitOr was carried.

last meeting, as to further accommodation 1or the
city and county Offices, for which the city il paying
an enormous rent for accommodation elsewhere,
was adopted, and the Board OF Apportionment was
