RECALCITRANT TAMMANYITES.

At the Arst session of every Board Of Aldermen it
IL customary to appoint fve members to on the
Finance Committee for the ensuing year. The chair
man of this committee becomes by virtue OF his
Office member of the Board Of Sinking Fund Com
missioners, which has charge Of the revenues de-
rived by the city from various sources. President
Mott yesterday named this committee Aldermen
Haughton. Morris, Robert Hall, Burns and Roberts.
As will be seen, Mr.. Roberts the only Tammany
Alderman the list. and when this TACT became
known to him he asked to be excused from
serving. saying that he could not do with justice
to his party respect to himself. He thought that
sopne-ffth representation on q committee was not
enough for the minority. Last year, when the re-
publicans were in very small minority, they were
given two-fths representation on all committees of
five members, and onethird representation Oh all
other committees. That all he asked at present
and In case the request not granted then he
must respectfully decline to serve.
President Mott then appointed in succession every
Tammany Alderman, but each, i'll turn, declined to
serve, for the reason given by Mr. Roberts. Mr..
Mott said that since none of the minority would
serve, he would make up the committee by the aodi
ton OF another member from the majority. he
named Alderman Kenny for the position. and the dis
cusson was closed by Alderman Strack who warned
the Board that il there any more wrangling the
sessions would become "a regular circus"
