Weeps and Walls.

The Street and Water Comnis sioners met
again this morning, and. as was expected,
many heads were Topped When the COM
missioners arrived rt their Office there were
fully 200 people present. The commission
ers had difficult time in getting inside the
railing, as every democrat who feels at all
uneasy about his position had some friendly
"tip" to inpart. Tips didn't go, and when
President Macarthur raped for order pin
drop could have been heard. The board set
tied down to business at once.
President Macarthur pressed the button

imagined that ne could beat the board under
the veteran act. Phil is veteran.
He declared his intention of fighting the
board if he was removed The board
adopted clever tactics. The Office Of
Street Superintendent was abolished alto
gether The duties of the Office will
fall upon the Chief Engineer, whoever
that fortunate individual happens to ybe

MORE To FOLLOW
The clerical force is to be further reduced.
1t is not probable that Water Registrar
Healy will be disturbed, but every other
man employed in the building has got to GO.
The small army of laborers who have been
receiving $3.50 and So per day for brushing
dust off water pipes and cobbles are to be re-
moved to a man. Belleville and High Ser
vice will not have an old employe
within a mile of the place before three
weeks have elapsed. Engineer Carney
lat will n n as
sioners have come to the conclusion that no
has no conception of what discipline is To
make the men perform their duties properly
appears to have been the last thought Of the
old engineer.
John ''Hufty" Sullivan, the bounced Lamp
Inspector, is mad. Only a few days ago he
wanted, it is alleged, to bet S25
that he would be retained The
lamps have been kept trimmed and burning
lately in fine order but ''there are others"
who can do the work as well, if not better,
than Fluffy" for 500 per month. He sur
rendered his Office without a murlnur this
morning, but declared later that ne intended
contesting the action of the board
John Bonnell is going into the manufac-
turing business.
At Mondays session there will be lively
times again, as all the e'old hangers on are. to
be dropped.
