been dropped at the end of the morn

| THE SEWER COUPLINGS.
Mr.. Munson rose and said that when
the contract for building the wood pipe
for the outfsll sewer was signed it was
left with the city council to decide what
kind OF coupling was to be used on the
outside OF the staves. The matter had
never been decided upon and in his
opinion the council should give it their
hoboublou at uuC6s N1Es muubOQ AlHO
moved that the coupling of Register &
Darcy be adopted. Considerable dis.
cussion followed during which the fact
leaked out that Contractor Mansfield
was using another coupling. The con.
tract was produced and read by the city
| clerk. 1t emphatically states that the
Register & Darcy coupling should be
used.
Contractor Mansfield then stated that
he had received instructions from the
city engineer to use another kind oi
coupling, and professed ignorance Of the
fact that the Register-Darcy coupling
was specifically called for in the con-
| tract.
City Engineer Dockweiller ther stated
that he had issued such instructions to
Contractor Mansfield, but that he him.
self had been 80 instructed by Mr..
| Nickel, the chairman of the sewer
committee. who had distinctly told him
in the presence of witnesses that the
other coupling was to be used.
/ The coupling under discussion is the
one which holds the band around the
barrel. The council was very much sur
prised and indignant at the discovery
that the contract had been deliberately
violated, but as Mr.. Nickel is absent
it was decided. on motion of Mr.. Innes
that further discussion be postponed
until next Wednesday, when Mr.. Nick
ell will be present. A sensational meet
ing is expected to take place at tina
time.
The council then adjourned.
