About That Deadlock in
the City Council.
EASTER AT The CHURCHES
"A Trolley Wire D1rncd 0T-Wash-
out on Charles Street.

There Is quite a lot 0s Interest mani
Tested by the public jcst now In the ulti-
mate outcome OF the deadlock when
exists between tue two branches OF tho
city government. The Board OF Alder
men has appointed a ,emmittee to wait on
the Common Council and explain the
matter to that body In such a manner as.
to make them see Inc advisability OF con-
curing with the Board, thereby putting
an end to the difficulty.
Bot the Council, whe think II IL mat
ter OF duty for them tc DO as economical
as possible, do not see cny paipaoie rea-
son why the Board OF Assessors should
get more than $3.50 ehch per annum Tor
their work, especially when none OF the
assessors, as far as can be learned, has
offered any objection 10 performing their
duties for that amount.
On the other hand the Aldermen, while
they are not disposed to ruthlessly
souander the city's fnods consider S2OO
q small allowance for tue services required
and are therefore lot 40 rrecede from tbe
stand they have taken. iLsch booy IN
firmly convinced that they nre taking the
proper course, and OF course, II IL very
difficult to predict how the matter VIII
end.
