REPLACING GAS LAMPS.
Mr.. Small offered an order that the COM

the gas lamp posts and removing the same.
and that they replace the burners, lanterns
or globes that have been removed, on all the
posts not used by the electric light company
for their incandescent lamps. Referred and
sent up.
TREASURES AND AUDITORS BUSINESS.
The order that the treasurer pay claims
and bills was laid on the table in this board.
The order to authorize the auditor to trans
fer unexpended balances was amended by
striking out all after the words moneys un-
appropriated" The reason given by the op-
position was that it left the city business in
very loose condition. Every committee, by
the appropriations bill was given to under
stand how much money was there to expend.
By this order, those who were economical
and trying to save money for the city, were
really only eeonomiZing for the benefit of
spendthrift committees. The order was re-
turned from the upper board, and this board
reeeded and passed the original order in con-
currence, as it was shown that the financial
year didn't end until March, and that the
former action was tying the auditors hands.
FIRE AND STREET DEPARTMENTS.
The order to pay $4,000 to the street de-
partment by the fire department was passed
by two-thirds vote, or Is to 8. The fire de-
partment committee said they knew of no
arrangement by which the street committee
was promised $4,000 for hauling their engines.
and they had based all their expenses on
their original appropriations Per contra
the street committee declared the money was
so promised. and they had based their ex-
penses on the expectation of getting it.

Especial to the PREss.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. A remonstrance
has been received against the confirmation
of General Anderson as Collector at Portland
from the former employees of the Custom
House on the ground of the violation of the
civil service law. The allegation is that in
1888 ten men passed the examination before
the civil service board; were recommended
for appointment and appointed inspectors
for the winter service by Collector Dow. In
1885 they were recommended again and reap
pointed by Mr. Dow. In 1885 they were re-
commended, but before the appointment
Gen. Anderson assumed the office and re-
fused to appoint but four, and filed the
place of the other six with men who were ex-
amined by the commission after his term of
office began. Documents proving the allega-
tion with remonstrance have been submitted.

Dear Sirs-Knowing that there is feeling with
many of our citizens that the skating Kinks OF our

express my convictions to your Honorable Kody,
regarding the influence Of the skating rlnKs upon
the health, etc., of those frequentlng tnem, pc
leve this influence to be injurious ana 1or the iol
lowing reasons:
The late hours kept by many OF the young peo-
pie patronizng the Kinks the excitement,tne dusty
atmosphere, the getting the blood heated, and
then going into the cold night air, all conSplre 20
make this practice Objectionable from phySlcal
standpoint. The excitement Of the nervous syS-
TEN engendered by this continued practice De,
heve to be especially baneful, and these girls anu
boys better be abed and asleep thereby Dullolng
up nervous system which will be OF some use 10
them in years to come.
The moral influence upon the majority Of the
young going to the rinkS is bad and in many In
stances harmful to terrible extent wellknown
to most physicians.
Hoping your honorable body will duly consider
