 Thirty-fve of the thirty-six members of | Inc board of counoilmen were present at ! the meeting of that body last evening. The only absentee was Councilman James Kelly of the Third ward. The session was lengthy and considerable busi- ness of importance was transacted.
 Among the moro important business was the reports of the committees on quarters for the mayor and nominations.
 Hardly had the meeting been called to order when the report of the committee on nominations was read and the first contest of the evening precipitated. The report of the committee recommended the appoint ment of . number of special constables. Among these was the nams of Peter J. Nc Inerney. During the past few days there has been considerable opposition developed against MT. McInerney, and the strength of this opposition was apparent last even ing when the name of this man was re- ferred back to the committee on nomina. tions for further consideration.
 This action was decided upon on motion of Councilman Coolihan, seconded by Councilman Mailhauser. This motion was that all the names recommended be re- ferred back to the committee on nomina. tions. Councilman Maher in reply showed that any such action would compel the city to be without speceal constables for at least two months. In consequence of this fact, he suggested that the names be acted upon individually. This suggestion prevailed and every name went through tremendously until that of McInerney was reached. This name, on motion of Coun- the committee, after which all the remain ing names were approved without any op- position.
 The names of the special constsbles ap- pointed are: John J. Moakley, John Mo- Dsrmott. Unite L. Frank, ErnestF. Hill, Nathan Myers, James Heslin, Thomas H. Walker, L. Hanrahan, T. J. Callahan, M.

Brown, William Earler and Henry Rocks.

The long drawn out and much discussed | question of what shall be done with the | mayor was taken up and provoked consid
 erable discussion. The question came uE from the board of aldermen for concurrent
 action, that body having adopted the plsr calling for the exteneion of the present as
 sessors' office over the area way. After prolonged discussion last evening the coun l cilmen decided to concur with the actio1 taken by the board of aldermen, and fir | consequence the mayor will be allowed te
 retain his present quarters.
 | When the report which came up from
 the board of aldermen had been read Coun cilman Bishop moved that the matter be
 indefinitely postponed and this motion wal
 seconded by Councilman Dewell. Coun
 cilmsn Msher called the attention of tn,
 board to the fact that speedy action was ab
 solutely necessary and uhless it was take1

 having the mayors office moved upstsirl to the room at present used by the board
 of public works for 8 meeting room. Hi l plan of procrastination was also favored

A communication was read from Mayor l Sargent to the effect that he desired to be | discharged from the special auditing com. mittee. of which he was made Q membal In 1892, as the legislature had imposed upon him the granting of licenses and the taking of fees, and as his own books would have to be audited it would not be prope, for him to audit his own books.
