that for years past these two men have

six weeks and suddenly make their appear

one after another, and promises were

Mr.. Bnford informed the council that if
no appropriation could be spared from
the city treasury. he, himself would beal

hydrant had been ordered, but it appears
that the Holly company had none of the

the order sent in in 1881 was not filled
until April of this year. Messrs. Hull
and Gray were the water committee under
Mayor Carse, and they still continue in
the same capacity, and if there is any
dereiiction of duty it necessarily falls on
their shoulders. Mr. Buford said that
several weeks ago some of his men tele =

on Second avenue and Sixth street was
out of repair, and he was afterwards seen
personally, but he took no steps to
