Water Board. on the other, is waxing
hot.
At the last meeting of the Board of FL
nance an amended resolution was adopt
ed authorizing it's Finance Committee
to expend Sc, ,OC0 chargeable to the water
account, in the employment of expert
chemists and hydraulic engineers to as
sist them in reviewing the speeifica-
tions adopted by the street and Water
Board, and approved by the Mayor,
with a view to ascertaining if amend
ments cannot be made which viii better
conserve the interests of the city. The
action of the Board of Finance in refus-
ing to concur in the resolution to adver-
tise for a new supply in accordance
with these specifications. after the Mayor
had approved them, aroused the indigna-
ton of the Chief Executive, and now
he is scuaring accounts with the board
by refusing to approve its resolution
authorizing the employment OF experts.
The Street and Water Commissioners
passed a resolution on Monday last
asking the concurrence of the Board q
Finance in the employment OF expert
chemists and engineers TO examine the
original specifications, and report II any
improvement can be made III them. 70
smooth matters along a little bit, the
hoard concluded by asking the Flnance
Commissioners to suggest the names OF
any experts they would like TO nave ex-
anime the specifications. This course
nractically made two sets of experts
ifnTnincnt. The Finance Board refuses
10 tske 4 back-track, ard the Street and
Water Commissioners are equally reso-
- JUST A DEADLOCK.
Last night the resolution of tfe latter
hoard to employ experts was before the
Finance Board. It was not considerer.
