has blundered. The Joint Standing Com
mittee on Fire Department submitted a
report some little time ago to the Common
Council in regard to the continuance of
the fire alarm box at the Crefeld mills. The
company, according to the report OF the
committee, agreed to pay $50 per annum If
the connection to the box was allowed to
remain. The report was adopted by the
Common Council and accepted in concur
renee by the Board of Aldermen. The re-
port of the committee was then sent to the
Mayor for his signature.
The Mayor was surprised to receive the
report inasmuch as he could not act upon
or endorse the action OF part Of the City
Council, namely committee OF the body,
but, in order to place his signature legally
on the document, II ought to have come In
the form of Q resolution defining certain
contract and with the endorsement OF both
branches of the City Government. His
Honor, the Mayor, has returned the report
to the Common Council with note ex-
planning the matter.
