was not sufficient to do the cleaning out

ton of Mr. Carter. the question as to
the water supply was referred to the City

not be increased by the committee, but
by petition 10 the Council.
During the discussion which ensued be

and the janitors through their spokesman,
Mr. Wright. it appeared that the latter
objected 10 the length Of the hours, to
the manner In which the work was TO be
done during these hours. and TO the pro-
vision that they should furnish subsu-
tutes and pay for them In their absence.
Superintendent Calder suggested that
the change Of the watchmen be made at
: 4. NJ and p. NJ, instead Of at A.
". and 6 =. NJ He also stated that the
watchmen asked for the appointment Of
a fourth Waterman. lie was told that
the latter request could only be acted
upon by the Council.
Tho committee decided TO change the
hours of the watchmen so their duties
shall BEGIN at 7 A. NJ. and L. VI.
Mr. Mountcastle moved that the clause
in regard TO the furnishing Of substitutes
be- stricken out The City Engineer sug-
cested that the substitutes be furnished
by The janitors ana that their pay be left
To- The discretion of the committee. This
proved to be acceptable, and Mr.. Mount
castle Withdrew his motion.
