On motion of Alderman Rogers, the

some debate, was given q passage:
Ordered, That the operation of section

with stationery, be hereby SUSPENDED for

Inspector of Flour Appointed,
The appointment of Charles N. Noble
inspector of flour. which was laid over at
the last meeting, was taken up.
Alderman Josselyn moved that the APP
pointment lie over until the new wheat
crop, about October next.
Alderman Guptil moved to take off the
table and confirm the appointment.
Alderman Gallagher seconded the mo-
ton. They Mayor declared it vote and
that the appointment was confirmed.
Alderman Josselyn doubted the vote
and desired to speak upon this question.
He read a petition signed by the flour
merchants on Commercial street request
ing that the Appointment of flour inspec-
tor lie over until the new wheat crop was
received. The chair ruled the petition
out of order but out of courtesy was
willing it should go on file
The Mayor suggested that a motion to
reconsider would be in order, and on
motion of Alderman Bracket the vote
appointing the flour inspector was re-
considered.
Mr.. Josselyn then spoke to some
length voicing the sentiments OF the
-four dealers whose names were upon the
petition. He said that in time of a good
wheat crop there would be no dispute be-
tween buyer and seller as to the quality
of the -four, but in poor wheat year
many questions will arise. He did not
the position.
After further discussion, on motion of
Alderman Gallagher the vote upon the
confirmation of Mr.. Mobiles appointment
was taken by yea and nay vote. The APP
pointment was confirmed by a vote to
3, Aldermen Brackett, Rogers and Josse-
lyn voting in the negative.
