that we understand that Surveyor d'Hemecourt

that while he is making specifications for the

the intention OF the officials named should be
done alec.
In connection with the improvements re
ierred to, We may add that we have been in
formed that Adm nistrator MoCaffrey will make
very desirable ana interesting experiment in
the way OF constructing wall 10 the rear of the

about one hundred yards, or sufficient TO est4b-

a wall along the entire lake shore, between the
terminal canals OF our drainage system. Recent
est'mates make such wall cost one dollar per

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE MEETING or THE COUNCIL
The New Bridge Keepers to Receive the
SALARIES for sent mltev

The New Bridge Keepers to Receive the
SALARIES for september.
The regular meeting of the City Council yes
terday amounted to the transaction Of routine
business mainly. When an ordinance came up
for adoption, embodying provision for the pay
ment Of the bridge keepers confirmed by the
City Council, Mr.. McUafffey objected and argued
at some length that as these men had never eK.
ercised the functions OF bridge keepers, none OF
them having applied to him officially for the
transfer Of the bridges, they could not be entitled
to pay.
Mr.. Oavanac argued that the ordinance Of the
Council removing the sppointees Of Mr.. Mo-
Osffrey and nominating the new keepers was
sufficient official notice, and that IL the injunc-
ton issued at the instance of Mr.. McGsffrey
against him Mr.. Cavsnac, was not still in force
his department, the Department Of Commerce,
would have taken charge Of the bridges.
Mr.. McUsffrsy sought 10 make point Of order
OF his objection, but the Mayer declined TO decide
whether the point was well ia ken or not, because
in his opinion, ii would be anticipating the de-
csion OF the court before which the Injunction
was pending. The ordinance Was finally adopted,
and the result was what was anticipated--that
the new appointees will be paid, while the old
once will have worked for nothing for the entire
period between ihs election OF their SUCCESSORS
and the time when they shall deliver the bridges
up to them; unless. h,wsv r, new injunction
should loom up TO prbbbit the Administrator Of
Finance from paying them.
