Engineers Department.
Considerable talk has been had since
election over the question as TO whether
there would be any change In the city en-
gineer's department, after the new admin
istration comes into power. Some argued
that the General Assembly had passed
an act authorizing the City Council at
its third meeting in July beginning with
1898 aud biennialiy thereafter. to elect
by ballot all city officers coming under
it's jurisdiction, aud that this applies to
the engineers department.
The passage OF the act Is fact II Is
known as chapter 7l0, IS entitled "An
act relating 20 tue government OF the
city Of Wilmington. " amends chapter ITS,

May 3. 1898 But it does not cover any
offices but city clerk, bsilif of Council,
inspector Of oils and nuids, clerk OF the
market and sealer Of weights aud meas
urea, city auditors clerk and city treas
urer' clerk.
These are all the offices affected by this
