At the regular meeting OF the Commissioners oil

noon, there were present Messrs. Starr, Lynch For
rest Stephenson, kaufman, Quintard and Maujer
Commissioner Starr being inthe chair. The Finance
Committee reported that the payrolls passed for
the month Of February amounted to 81 1920, and
the bills before them for the same time, not yet
acted upon, footed up the sum of about $21,SOO
Commissioner Starr advised the members that
he had received a letter from President Hurlbut
advising him that he was i'll, and at the same time
a communication appointing the several commit
tees Tor the ensuing year, which are as follows
castle Garden Committee-George Starr, chair
man. Edmund stephenson, Daniel Maujer, George
w. Quntard, Stgismund kaufman.

chairman: George Starr, George J. Forrest, James
Lynch, Wiliiam f. Havemeyer.
Finance COmmtttee-Daniei Maujer, chairman :;
Edmund stephenson, George Starr, George J. For
Immediately after reading the communication
Commissioner Kaufman begged leave to resign
that the members would relieve him IRON the
duties such position Imposes. Messrs Starr and
others opposed sucn course, when Mr.. kaufman
withdrew his resignation, to renew 1t at the next
meeting.
Commissioner Stephenson stated that the Office
OF Chief Clerk on Wards Island was vacant, and it
was essential that the vacancy should soon be
filed. He therefore nominated Tor the position
Mr.. Frank Goodwin, now employed on the Island
and hoped he would be appointed.
Commissioner kaufman opposed the idea or
filing such an important position by one so young,
and not properly qualified to discharge It's many
duties. The chief Clerk should speak at least
three languages, besides possessing other quaint
cations which Mr.. Goodwin had not He did not
have anything against the young gentleman NOM
mated, but 1t was very desirable that the place
should be properly filed
Commissioner stephenson thought that Mr.
thoroughly discharge the duties of the oipce and,
to cut OF further debate, moved the previous ques-
tion.
Commissioner Kaufu,an-I don't like that kind
OF "gag law"
The previous question, however was carried,
but the motion to appoint Mr.. Goodwin was lost.
The Board then went into executive session.
