Custom House) of DR.. Knowles BredkTdter
Light, writes that: There are two gentlemen,
whose names are spoken of in that connection
for the position. Mr.. WIN. NJ Pyle, former
slerk in the Post office, and Capt O. H.
Gallagher, at present our efficient eng-
neer Of the City Water Department, Il is
understood that the former has gone 10
far as to file with the Department, al
ready his petition for the place, which il regard
ed as a sufficient reason, for the public to sup
pose that vacancy will occur, as Mr. Pyle is at
the present time the acting chief clerk in the Of
flee. 1t would certainly be to say the least of it,
indicate in him, while thus acting, to file his
petition, for his superiOr's place, unless it be
there is an understanding between the two as to
the situation. Inc captain mas IL Is unuefstoOu
filed no petition"
This il all answered very readily. by the
fact that Mr.. Pyle has not filed any petition. or
taken action, IN any way, to press an application
for appointment. Isaac should be better post
ed.
