Joseph Sayers, VITO is a member Of the
firm of SayerS Brother, plumbers, was
candidate for plumbing inspector but
was defeated by Ir. Kane. He is O
brother-in-law OF Benpior Donahoe, and
the senator, it is said, ssonred the passage
by tho Legislature OF the law creating
the Office OF plumbing inspector and re-
quiring City Council to arrange for and
q the same. The bill did not come
through City Ocunoil, but was drawn by
George 4. Brown, Eaq., who was retained
and paid by Sayers for this service. II
was the confident expectation OF the pro-
jectors, when this bill was passed, that
Savers would be elected by City Council,
but in the contest before that body Mr..
Kane carried of the prize. Naturally
Mr.. sayers was, aud evidently still is,
very angry.
The ex-councilman 10 whom Mr.. Sayers
alluded In his card iB William II. Quinn
of the Second ward Mr.. Quinn says
that Sayers is mistaken in the office, and
that 1t was the election OF bailding in

in Mahler's saloon, not plumbing in

legal advice as to the tenor OF 5ayers'
