THE FIRST HITCH.
According TO the views Of some knowing
ones the president Of neither branch OF the
City Council en- announce his standing
committees until the two branches have
adopted Rules. This they have not vet done,
and there is a disagreement between tine two
branches as 10 whether the Grounds and
Buildings Committee should consist Of five
or seven members. II there is any real diiii-
Guilty in the way no doubt 1t will be straight
ened ont by called meetings.
1t would seem TO be a simple and good
thing TO adopt the rules as they now exist or
lately existed. aud thus set IN motion the ma
chinery OF the City Council. and then leave
II 70 future meetings 10 determine whether
the membership Of any committee should be
increased.
The Council committees elect great num-
Der o. important offices, and WELD a vast
deal Of power.
