the Aldermen, Mayor Wescott was placed at
the head of two Of the most important COM
mittees-Streets, Sidewalks and Bridges, and
Drains and Sewers-with the understanding
that he will devote his time beyond the usual
duties Of the office, to these important mat
tiers. There can be no question but what the
money devoted to this increase win be a most
economic expenditure.

for the increase was presented by Alderman
