MUNICIPAL NOTES.

BY resolution OF the Common Council the name
OF Amlty street has been changed to West Third
street. The resolution gave rise TO great deal OF
vrtuous talk on the part Of tile Aldermen in the
Board yesterday, during which IL was very clearly
shown that the street NEEDS considerable over
hauling by the police. How the character OF an
OLD street can be changed by simply calling 1t by
a new name IS one OF those mysteries winch only
Aldermen can understand.
It Is charged that the Park Commissioners have
expended over 100000 on their construction
iund," which was taken from the maintenance
iuud,r and that by reason OF this yesterday over
$50 workmen had TO ue discharged. IL
Is SAID Lnat this transfer OF moneys was
made through tue numbering OF a CLERK
IN the department appointed through the ln-
nuence OF Comptroller Green. In their report TO
the Aldermen last mOhlD, IN answer 10 Iesolu-
ton OF inquiry, the Commissioner said:-"No
