In Removing Mr. Dillon and Appointing Mr.
DRrrAh Superintendent,

DArFnh Superintendent,
The Board Of Gas Trustees held another
special meeting yesterday afternoon. Il
was very unlike the stormy session Of last
Monday afternoon, All the members OF
the Board were present at hsltpast 8
O'Clock, the time named in the call for the
meeting. Tho proceedings were quite
briei. Mr., Jepson offered a resolution
providing for the appointment Of Samuel
NJ, Darrah to be Superintendent Of the
Gas Works 1d Interim This was adopted
by vote Of 2 to |, DR., Logan voting no
and asking that his vote be recorded,
which was done, The resolution being
adopted, the business lor which the meet
ing was called was over and the Board adj
journed,
The position taken by Trustees Sesley
and JepGon is, that under rule . Of the
rules and regulations in the ordinance
providing for the management OF the Gas
Works, Superintendent Dillon's term oil
office expired when the old Board did,
and that he was merely allowed to retain
his position until the new Board could
eleCt huCCtsb1T' luRI huCCtH5Of WAS mr.
Darrah, who was selected at the famous
meeting OF last Monday afternoon, Coun-
Gil, at its meeting on Tuesday night, hay
ing refused to confirm this appointment,
the Board now appoints him to serve until
such time as they shall again ssleC.a Su-
peTintendent.
Tue Board, or its Democratic msjority
can continue to do this indefinitely.
II is understood that Mr.. D4rrah will
take charge oil the works to-day. The ac-
ton Of the Board will not, as has been re.
peatedly stated, meet with the approval
OF the better class Of citizens for the reason
that they do not want to sac so valuable a
piece Of property as the works made a
part OF a political machine, and also loI
the reason that 80 competent q man as
Mr.. Dillon, who has given such gen
eral satisfaction, should not he turned
out When no good reason can be
assigned for it; when it is done merely as
piece Of partisan and uabusinesa.like
optic work. II is something that is being
and will be universally denounced,
and among these who have denounced
and will continue to denOunCe this action,
are large numbers Of the very best Demo
cratic citizens IN the city.
