ted the parting with his fellow members.
He had done the best he knew how in
legslating for the city, and he would say
for the majority of the body it had tried
to give the city good, economical govern
ment. 1t had not been extravagant. 1t
had been estimated that there would be u
surplus of $4,000, and it had turned out
that there is a surplus exceeding s23, 600.
During the many years he had been in
Council he had not known of mayor who
had better attended to his duties and had
paid so much attention to Council as Mayor
Harrington. There had been no disturb
ing elements in this Council; all of the
members had worked together. He
thanked President Farra for assisting him
in his work as chairman of the finance
committee.
Mr.. Cotton said the last two years had
passed fast and pleasantly. He thanked
the Democratic members on behalf of
himself and the minority for their kind
treatment and thanked the chairman of
the finance committee for the valuable in
formation he had given him.
Mr.. Magee said he desired to express
thanks TO every member and to the presi-
dent particularly; also, he wanted to
thank the chairman of the finance COM
mittee for the information which he had
given him. He hoped the incoming Coun-
Gil would perform its duties as well as the
outgoing Council had performed its obli-
cations.
After a pause, intended to give other
members opportunity to speak, President
Farra stated that a motion to adjourn
would be in order. Every member hesi-
tated to make the motion, but finally Mr..
Cotton, after explaining that the hesitation
was caused by the feeling of regret at part
ing, said that since nobody else felt dis
posed to do it he would move that Council
adjourn, which motion was adopted.

The caucus also approved the selection,
by the majority members of the finance
committee, of Samuel A. Price to be clerk
in the city treasurer's office, in place of
Horace G. Johnson.
The caucus evidently had not an ex-
alted idea of the merits of Councilman
James Murray of the Tenth ward. An
examination of the list shows that the
only committee places given to Mr..
Murray are the tail end of the committee
on navigation, committee that has prac-
tically notging to do from year to year.
and a like position on the unimportant
committee on engrossment.
