Mr.. Glasgow presented a paper,
which was from Colonel W. Z. Gut

ITO prevent any misunderstanding
! desire TO express in writing what |
have already said to you and others
concerning Messrs. Tomlinson and Bell
ing as aspirants for the position in the
Water-Works which is now TO be filed
by the Council. If the Office Of Super
intendent of the Water-W orks Is to
be changed to that Of Engineer, re-
quiring all engineering questions TO be
confined to the Office, separately and
distinctly from the Office Of City Engi-
neer, then ] should be glad to sec Mr..
Boiling appointed for the position, and
would recommend him for 1t; but If
the position is to be continued as that
of Superintendent, and the City Engi-
neer is still to be called upon for con-
sultation and advice, then, in my opin-
ion. Mr.. Tomlinson should be appointed
to the position. which by training and
experience he is peculiarly suited to,
and for which he has my fullest en-
doTsement."
