IN COMMON COUNCIL.
Councilman James Hunt offered am
ordinance providing for the election of
an assistant inspector in the public
building department, whose duties shall
be fixed by the superintendent of public
buildings and whose compensation shall
be fixed by the mayor. The ordinance
was referred TO the committee on or
dinances.
President Hall did not announce his
committee appointments until just be-
fore adjournment, and in making them
he said it Wass one of the most difficult
duties he had to perform. In making
out the list he Kept in mind the MEM
bers who had been given places on the
elective committees, and they could
hardly expect to get everything they
wanted in the way of appointments, but
he hoped that everybody would be salts
fed, as he would bear the disappointed
ones in mind when it came time to APP
point special committees later in the
year He then appointed the commit
tees which win be found below, but he
had given Councilman O'Leary place
on the common council standing COM
mittees on enrollment and elections, and
returns. Coun Gilman O,Leary, how
ever, declined to serve on the commit
tees and President Hall filled the va
cancies by appointing Councilman I'll
mon to the committee on enrolment and
Councilman Shea to the committee on
elections and returns.
Adjourned for one week.
