well, well, that is news to me. But there
is plenty OF time IN when to CONSIDER tu ~
matter
Mr.. Denny says he has no idea of whom
of recommendations have already been made
to him, but he is going to take time Tor
consideration: a. A Young, the light Of the
fees yesterday, and it is understood that
he wants a place on the board, and wants
it badly. The other MEMBERS of the COM
mittee are also mentioned as possibilities.
J. B. Dill, who was talked of at the
organization of the administration, has ap-
naar rad 11n0n the horizon and is willing for
the appointment to come his way. He was
in consultation with Mr.. Denny yesterday
afternoon. Morris Defrees is also men

Mr.. TrusIer Has Nothing to Say.
Controller Trusler was asked last night
what he thinks of the resignation of the
Board of Works. Mr.. Trusler has been
charged by some with starting the Council'
investigation. 1t is claimed by many en-
ployes of the city departments that he has
not been altogether fair with the other de-
partments. A man connected with the en-
gineer's office made the statement that
Trusler tried all along to stick his nose in
the affairs of other Offices Mr.. Trusler's
antipathy for the engineers department is
well known. He and Mr.. Brown are not on
speaking terms. Mr.. Trusler thinks it was
a mistake to go outside of the city for an
engineer, and he also thinks Mr.. Brown
has shown by diseharging Republicans and
retaining Democrats that he lacks a true
Republican spirit.
Those designations are not things upon
which / care to talk" said Mr.. Trusler.
They are not in any way connected with
my department"
But the investigation which resulted in
the designations is credited to YOU" re-
marked the reporter.
Il don't see why it should be. ! never
made any complaint other than that against
the engineers department"
1t might be pertinent to remark that
Mr.. Kramer, Who resigned, and Mr.. Tfus-
Ter, the controller, never speak, although
they have been members of the same adj
ministration and their offices have been
closely connected. Inc trouble arose over
Mr.. Trusler throwing out a bill which
Mr.. Kramer presented for expenses on a
