THE CITY OFFICES.
Candidates Still Exerting Themselves to the
Utmost.
MUCH ANXIETY ABOUT The BOARDS.
Looking for Opportunities to Economic in
Expenditures
THE POLICE FORCE APPOINTMENTS.

Yesterday was q repetition of Friday, so
far as the activity of candidates for off .es
within the gift of Council wss concerned.
Although the REGISTER had published B
list of names three tines as long as the
lis: of offices to be filled, there wa moth
ing like backwardness exhibited on the
part of the gentlemen who had deter
mined 10 have try a. the vacancies soon
to occur, and at least dozen and a
half new announcements were made dur
ing the day. Coupcilmen were inter
viewed every time they put their noses out
of doors, and they were called upon ct their
residences and their places of bueiness,
tackled upon the streets, and laboIel with
at the City Hall where they repaired to at
tend the afternoon session Of Council.
Some members said, last evening, they
had as high as twenty and twenty-five
names of candidates on file for Offices to be
filed, aad 10 one can fix with certainty
upOa the total number Ofaspirants. Among
abe new candidates run across Yesterday
were ths following: Fox Second Ward Mar
ket Master, GrsfJ1n Bssll, of the Island; for
Health Officer, DR.. Reed Baird in addition
to DR.. George l. Garrison; for Superintsn-
dent of Streets, J. A. Woods, the Island
contractor; for City Collector, Elk. Sheriff
W. O. Handlan; for Assistant City
Clerk, Jacob Beck; fer City Weigher, Hugh
Dawson; and 80 on. There were two or
three errors in the list of candidates pub
lished yesterday. For Marketmaster is
the Fifth waed, it should have read John
McKesver, and Z H. Wilde, and not Oils
Wilde, was the candidate for Clerk of TIE
First Branch. B. A. Gilligan declares en-
phstically that he is not a candidate fo7
any position within the gift OF Council.
A great deal of interest is being mani.
tested in the probable composition of the
Board OF Public Works and the Water
Board, and large number of fiist-class
sugges. lions have been made, so re of which
are contained il the following commupi-
cations;

Of taxpayers and the credit Of the Demo

Cost of Steamships,
From scribner's Magazine.

From Scribner's Magazine.
An order for a new ship of the class
required to compete in the modern pas
senger service of the Atlantic is not by
any means a matter to be determined
on without grave consideration. Speed
is costly, and as you increase it it is gem
orally necessary to also increase the ton
mage. This forces upon your consider
alton tides, channels, harbor bars, and
dock accommodations, all of which i'm
pose limitations upon you. And then
the cost OF the ship herself is not a mat
ter which even the wealthiest of copora-
tons can provide for at a moments no.
tice. 1t is not 800, 600 OF $500, 900 that
the work calls for, but about FIVE times
the latter sum, for it is safe to saw that a
vessel superior to the City OF New York
or the Etruria could not be built for less
than So, 50O, 600.
Sometimes the shipbuilders are will
Ing to become part owners of the pro-
jected vessel; sometimes they take, as
part payment for the work, some older
vessels Of the line, which they reft, re-
engine, mOdernize and sell again. The
ability of the builders to make an ar
rangement of this kind, of course, in
%f1uences the placing of the contract, in a
measure, but they must also be able to
give certain guarantees. They must
enter into an engagement that the pro-
iected ship shall be able to carry 80
many passengers and so many tons of
cargo, and to attain a specified speed on
a given consumption of coal per day.
Let us say, for instance, that tie stipu-
lations are these: Accommodations for
800 saloon passengers. 100 intermediate
passengers and 1900 steerage passen.
gers; registered tonnage, 5000; speed,
19 knots on a consumption of 300 tons
per day. If this ship fails to fulfil these
conditions the builders agree to forfeit
| a part of the amount they would other
wise receive for her, or they may be
compelled to take her back altogether.
This was the case with the City of Rome.
