WHAT THE BOARD WILL Dc.
There Is much curiosity to know the probable
| action Of the new Board Of Trustees relative to
the salar1ed officials ct the village. A COM
mittee was appointed last Tuesday to investi-
gate the whole question Of work, salaries, etc.,
aud it is probable that they will renort their
conclusions at the meeting next Tuesday. The
abolition OF the office Of Attorney may be some
what inconvenient temporarily. in Wow OF the
fact that there are number of suits pending
against the village which will require con-
slderabIe attention. Friday q summons was
served on the Clerk in the suit Of John a.
Dix vs The Village Of Hyde Park and others to
torecose mortgage On the property partly occupied
died tomorrow aud President Bensley will be obliged
to retain 4 special counsel for the village onless
there be an appointment made soon OF Village Attor-

not improbable that Of the four Offices abolished at
the last meeting, one, the VIII be revived
as 1t ua: tvo the Offices Of Engineer and Supertn-
tendent OF Public Works, will be consolidated; and
the fourth the Captaincy Of Police will be allowed %
rest in the grave where 1t has already been laid Il
need hardly be added that the salaries of nearly al
oficials viii be materially reduced.
