| Mayor McConochie cam OF very well
object to Supt. Murrin on account of tie
latter's politics. He was democrat two
years ago, as he is today, and if any
thing more competent as q superinten-
dent by reason of the experience gained
by close application to his duties.
1t is understood the mayor is cons d e.
ering postponing his appointments for
two weeks after his Inauguration as be
did two years ago. The city's executive
will relieve the public mind as well as
his own by doing his duty promptly and
without deferring action unnecessarily.

plant from parties having no boxes that

how to ring them.
John Evans states that he is not q can
/ didste for weighmsster, only under one
condition and that is that the city sell
him the scales and permit him to move
, them to the side Of the square convenient
: the old CoYne stables recently used by
, the street railway syndicate. and which

u. for the privilege. He says that in this
way the square would be rid of the pres

further back, block at least, and in this
view Of the case Mr.. Evans proposition
