THE REMOVED AQUEDUCT BOARD.

NO DECISION as TO A CONTEST YET-MR. CANNON
PERSONALLY NOT DISPOSED TO MAKE ONE.
There is considerable uncertainty to whether
the several Aqueiuct Commissioners who were re-
moved by Mayor Van Wyck Monday will take
any action toward compelling the Mayor to rensatc
them. The Commissioners removed are Henry w.
Cannon, John J. Tucker and George Walton Green,
and Mayor Van Wyck appointed in their places
Charles II. Murray. William II. Ton Eyck and Peter
J. Doollng. 1t expected that the Commission
would hold consultation yesterday to deter
mine course Of action. but this consultation was
not held owing probably to tho absence from the
city of George Walton Green Henry w. Cannon.
