A conference meeting was held yester-
day afternoon between the Legislative
Committee OF City Council and the men,
bers Of the Street and Sewer Department
in the rooms of the latter, at which the
affairs Of the city and the department
were talked over with great freedom, and
perfect understanding was arrived at 50
far as the two bodies were concerned.
The department wanted an increase of
49,, 900 to bear the expense Of lighting
the city and to pay the salary oi,5lthe
chief engineer Of the surveying depart
ment, as the act creating the department
never intended that these expenses were
to be paid by 1t.
The Legislative Committee of Council,
through Mr.. Quinn, represented that the
increase asked for was to great, and a
compromise was finally agreed upon that
II the city would increase the approprla-
ton $1,000 next year, and thereafter TO
appropriate money according to esti-
mates furnished by the Street and Sewer
Department, the bill asking fvr 1926
Increase would be Withdrawn. This was
the understanding when the two bodies
separated.
A resolution embodyiDg there views
was offered before the City Council last
night, but instead of passing was post
poned until Thursday night. II 1t fails
to pass at that time the Street and
Sewer Commission will go before the
Legislature and will ask Tor an increase
OF the whole $4,000.

New YORK, March 1S.-The Herald to.
day prints an interview with Cardinal
Gibbons in Baltimore, In which the
American Primatc discusses the al titude
of the Church towards divorced people.
In conclusion Cardinal Gibbons says:
THE remarriage OF divorced Catholic
during his partners lifetime necessarily
involves his being put without the pale of
the Church. In such cases it is not only
the right, but the duty OF our priests to
refuse the offender absOlution or the
sacraments But should hesitate to 90
so far as TO refuse the sacramento to a
Catholic who had merely obtained a
divorce"
