While the matter Of selecting a candidate
for the appointment o. the position OF en-
gineer at the city ball was under discussion
IN committee meeting YESTERDAY AID
Cutler pertinenty remarked: 1T is not so
much how much man knows as 1T is how
much ne VIII do. II is not all who Will
conscientiously do their best and AID.
Walsh conceded with the theory expressed.
-
NY idea is" said AID. Cutter. San
engineer should not only be a comnefent
and reliable engineer, bui ne should also he
a practical mechanic, capable Of doing ordl-
nary bench repairing. such q man would
save the city many dollars in the course OF
year. One very urgent applicant per-
sisted in arguing his claim for the appoint
ment and ] asked hiin what he is now re-
ceiviug and what De expected the city to
pay him. He said he WAS getting $40
month. and ne thought the city ought 10
give him at least SIO0. I advised him 70
90 right back to his work. An engineer
who is dissatisfied with SO these hard
times would not be satisfied with anything
the city can afford.r
''Sixth avenue south. across the 1Iilwau-
kee tracks, is in a disgraceful condition"
was the pointed language which AID.
Cutter used at the city hail yesterday. 1t
should be paved, and az the expense Of
the railway company"
1T is not half as bad as the crossing on
South Second street." interposed Aid.
Hashow. 1T IS almost impossible. and
the council should do something about it at
once
1T is not OF 50 much Importance" con-
tinued AID. Gutter, compromisingly.
Twenty-Five, yes, fifty teams have 10 pass
along Sixth avenue while one crosses the
Second street crossing.
simply because IL is impossible for
them to cross Second street, persisted Aid.
Hashow. The dialogue was con-
tinued at some length, the upshot being TO
the effect that something shOdld be done to
correct the evils and AID. Cutter vol
unteered to cal upon Supt. Prior on behalf
Of the city.
Il cannot give the press single pointer
regarding the census OF the city" said Mr..
! Case yesterday, ''and possibly may not be
I able 70 furnish any information for the
public until fall. Weare doing the bestwe
/ can. compiling everything as fast as we can
| gather in our lists. but il is mighty sight
/ bigger job than we had contemplated. VIII
we exceed 100, 900? Now. as / said before.
L shall give out no tips. and ne Minked

( Mayor Pilisbury has decided 10 deliver
! 10 address to the Mexican editors tO-mcr-
TOW. That is right. There is no excuse
I for inhieting municipal elOquence on a party
! OF innocent foreigners who have done no
/ body any harm.
It has been said over and over again by
the directors of the Masonic Temple asso-
! citation that the matter Of bonus would
settle the question Of location. Perhaps
/ the present boom TO Sixth and Nicollet
/ comes in the line Of a bonus?
Law IS sometimes singularly inconsistent
