Mr.. Simondi presided at the meeting OF
the city council last evening, and all
members were present except Karrick.
The matter OF greatest interest which
came up was the communication from the
mayor announcing the removal of Super
intendent of Water Works Ryan, and the
appointment of d. g. Griffin in his place.
The council was considerably surprised
that the mayor had acted so promptly in
the matter. Horn and Beardsley pro-
summary dismissal. Other members
wanted time to think before confirming
the appointment of Mr.. Griffin and the
removal of Ryan. Others again saw legal
difficulties in the way, and finally the
communication was referred to the city
attorney.
Their altogether unnecessary delay in
accepting the dismissal of Ryan does not
speak well for the city council as body.
