Appointments Made.

The comptroller called the counclls at
tention to the fact that no money had
been appropriated by the council to
carry out the provisions of the resolu-
tons.
The communication was received and
placed on file, and Aid. Bertrand
moved that the board of public works
! be instructed not to commence work on
the wells until they should receive fur
Their instructions from the council.
The city attorney sent in another
communication on the steel plant cleo
ton controversy. He held that Frank
Britt. who performed the work as cleo
ton clerk, was entitled to s. pay. He
was appointed by the board, who, I'M
der certain circumstances, had author
itv to appoint clerk and had per-
formed his duties in good faith.
Aid. Larson moved that the COM
muniCation be received and the recon-
mendations not carried out. The mo-
ton received no second and Aid. Sch
lappi moved that the recommendations
be carried out. The motion prevailed.
AID. Bertrand moved that the coun-
ell 90 into secret session; carried. The
only alderman who did not 90 into the
secret session was Aid. J. Frazer Wood,
who was locked up on the jury in the
municipal court. He was very anxious
to attend and sent up to find out II he
could not be excused. The rules were
irreYocable and Mr.. Wood could not
attend. He was permitted to cast a
vote in the secret session per Deputy
Locke.
That a fight mad been going on inside
the secret chamber was evidenced by
the look Of disgust on Aid. Douglas
face, W ho came out before the dellbera-
tons were over. In a few moments,
however, the mayor and aldermen filed
out and the council was called to order
again.
Mayor Pattison announced the name
of Champ Green for city attorney.
Aid. Ross moved the confirmation of
the appointment and Aid. Mcqueen
seconded the motion. The vote was
then taken. Aid Beardsley led off
with negative. When Aid. Douglas
name was called he took the floor and
attempted to raise the East End cry.
81 shall vote against Mr.. Green because
when he was IN the council there was
no interest of the West End that he
didn't vote against" This statement
was greeted with feeble ripple Of APP
plause, which was counterbalanced by
Kisses. AS the vote progressed and
alderman after alderman voted &c con-
firm, there were many evidences of APP
proyal from the large audience in al
tendance. When the vote was an
nounced and the mayor declared the
appointment confirmed, there was
much enthusiasm and loud applause

consisting of five and composed of the
mayor, city attorney and three alder

ceiver Norvell upon the question of
transfers and report at the next meet
ing. Aid. French in advocacy of his
motion said that the last municipal
campaign had been fought out chiefly
on the question of securing transfers,
and he therefore thought that it was
matter not admitting of delay, as the
people were anxious to know what the
council intended to do. The motion
carried unanimously, and the council
then adjourned to meet again Tuesday
