We, who have enough, and some to spare, of

From the Bangor whie.l

irionl tno Bangor wing.
1t was only short lime since that we pub
lished an account of the ridiculous action of
Mayor Deering OF Portland in attempting nriy-
leges not pertaining to his office and vote
contrary to law and precedent, and now wa
have Mayor Cummings following in his illus
trious footsteps and trying to enact the same
farce here. AT a meeting of the board of mu-
nicipal officers, Saturday night, in connection
with sewer on james street, it being found
that the assessment estimated BY the CITY an.
giLeer and sewer COMMITTEES was larselv in
excess OF the sum estimated in the nrel;sni-
nary survey, Alderman Adams made motion
to reduce their estimate TO 81 25 per foot. This
brought Messsrs Simps ~ aud robn to their
ieet Win an amendment to increase the amount,
the former 60 Sl50 and the latter to So. These
amendments were last, and when vote was
taken on the original motion Of Mr., Adams
resulting four to three ia IS favor the M ayor
coolly announced bis intention of voting winch
he did and declared the motion lost The citv
clerk properly declined 10 so enter il nvon his
record, which, in accordance with the fact
showed that the motion OF Mr.. Adams was cal
ried.
The Mayor with the same pertinacity exhlb-
tied on former occasions insisted ON his right
to vote. aud II. A. Wilson, ESQ.,, was ire
sent he cslltd uron him for his opli ion as an
attorney. Mr.. Wilson announced that he had
prepared an opinion ut the request of the
Mayo relating To the same question of his
right 10 vote, only upon another N after, whicn
We understand was In connection with u nice
little scheme 10 get control of the B. & p rail-
road, aud handed The opinion TO the Mayor in
sealed envelope. TIE carefully prepared
opinion drawn by Mr.. Wilson muet have had
similar effect to a shower bath of i. o water an
he held very strong grounds against this at
tempted usurpatiou on the part Of Mayor Gun
mings. He Was followed by an opinion pre-
pared by City Solicitor Vose at the request OF
| City Clerk Brett, which very clearly aud eu,-
| phatically pointed out that the Mayor has only
| Gas ing vote, the right to break lie aud not
| TO make one.
The effect upon the Beard of these opi lions

| Mr.. Adams which only lacked one vote Of be-
ing unanimously Carried, that solitary vote be-
