The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-05-02

the clerical forces of the two Offices are
concerned. III left entirely with him to
choose the force for the joint Office and he
will probably ret.in some Of those now en-
ployed In each of the Offices The passen
ger agency was not discussed at the con-
ference. The passenger, ticket and general
freight agencies remain intact for the
present. The question of removing the
general freight Office from this city to Mt
Carmel was also left unconsidered at the
conference but il is very likely that the
move will be made In order to facilitate
the transaction Of the business of that Of
fee The removal of the machine shops to
Mt. Carmel will necesstate the removal of
.he train dispatcher's and train masters
Offices there at ouce, and Superintendent
Moore will also probably soon follow. This
step will be necessary IN order to enable
Mr.. Moore to have an easier and a more
perfect supervision of the entire length Of
his division, and he will probably even
then be in Cairo much of the time. Thus it
appears that the only important change to
be made here is in the local freight
agents offices. All the other officers
and clerks will remain as heretofore. Mr..
Moore retains supervision OF this division
of the Wabash and Mr.. Kerrigan Of the
Iron Mountain as heretofore.
Last nights meeting of the city coun.
Gil was an interesting one. Nearly full
council was present and the auditorium was
crowded with citizens. The routine bust
ness OF the meeting was gone through with.
in hurry. Bills we're allowed and refer
red, petitions ditto. Among the ordinances
introduced was one by Alderman McHale,
requiring license of ten dollars per annum
for boot-blacks, the passage OF which will
be applauded by every citizen. Among
the bids were one for furnishing the city
with lumber for sidewalks, by Mr.. James
McGahey which was accepted. Two bids
for the city printing were also read. One
from H. F. Potter, Of the Argus, who offer
ed to do all the city printing, including all
notices by officers, etc. for 1856 per month;
and another, from w. T. Scott, of the Ga
zette, who offered to do the same for $500
per annum or $25 per month. THE BuLLE-
TIN had, for some reason, failed to make a
bid for the work The bids offered were
both accompanied by good bonds and Mr..
Scott's bid was unanimously accepted.
Afrer this the mayor read
his address which was listened
to very attentively throughout and
the suggestions concerning the levees and
streets and lot filing and several other mat
tiers of Importance, were heartily applauded
BY the audience. The mayor read the adj
dress in a low but clear voice and very
calmly, so that every word was understood.

mayor made the following nominations, the
first two Of which were applauded by those
outside the railing: City Comptroller, N.
j. Howley; city marshal, L. II. Myers;

pay, on petition of citizens, j W. Merri-
man. The nominations we're all unani-
mously confirmed by the council, and the
mayor stated that he would have to deter
| further nominations until next meeting,
Council then adjourned.
