TWO SETS OF INSPECTORS

The Combine" in the city council yes
terday concluded their game of peanut
politics" by electing the employees of the
board of health, under the ordinance
recently passed bestowing that power
on themselves. The scheme worked out
substantially as given in The Herald
some days ago. Mr.. Blanchard, chair
man of the board of public works, got the
inspector of street sweeping, and Coun-
cilmen Hutchison and Ashman each got
one of the sanitary inspectors. The only
break was in the retention of the pres
ent meat and milk inspector Mr.. Dod-
son. Councilman Mathuss refused to
support Dr. Blackington who was slated
for the place, it is presumed on account
Of certain letters which were shown him
concerning that gentleman. The other
employees were retained, Mr.. Reid, the
Toll. President Silver asked to be ex
eused from voting, and his request was
granted, while Councilman Nickel voted
for the present inspectors.
Immediately after their election all of
the officers were sworn in by City Clerk
Hance, and the city now has two sets
of inspectors. This morning the coun-
ellis appointees will report to Health
Officer Powers for assignment to duty,
but that officer, acting under the instruc-
tions of the board of health, will refuse
to recognize them, and the matter will
go to the courts for settlement.

circumlocution is the result of an at
tempt on the part of few councilmen
to pay private political debts at the
city's expense. 1t is not calculated to
