the repeal went through In short order
and little surprise was expressed. Inc
crowd cheered when Mayor Myers an
nounced the result, which was unanimous.
Ex-Alderman Krouskon, who introduced
this ordinance, made a statement 70
Morning News reporter after the meeting,
in which he vigorously denied that the IN
tentlOn of the retiring Council was 10
thwart the incoming board in whatever
changes 1t may desire 20 make. Inere
has been a great deal Of talk about our
motives in passing that law ne sald'
but they have not been understood. Our
object was to establish civil service re-
foTm-nothng more. AS an evidence that
we never intended TO hamper the Myers
administration, it may be recalled that the
ordinance was introduced long before Mr..
Myers was nominated, or signihed that ne
would even accept a nomination. Had the
ordinance been allowed to stand. feel
confident its effect would have improved
efficiency IN the departments, and would
have removed the cOmmotion caused among
city employees each year for fear Of re-
moval The fact is a man now Keeps MS
job as a reward for political services, and
not for faithful and efficient service. A
change In this regard was wanted, and
the ordinance l introduced would have
accomplished II. 1 do not wish it under
stood / was insincere In my action
The Krouskon ordinance was not the
only one dIsapproVed by the new board.
Alderman Wells did not like the idea Of
changing the name Of Seventh street to
Troup avenue, and a repeating ordinance
introduced by him passed without opposi-
ton. Seventh street viii hardly know that
it ever had any other name, so quick was
the ordinance passed.
Mayor Myers received many congratuia-
lions. He passed a telegram 20 the clerk
he had just received from President Gug-
genheimer Of the City Council of New
York.
The president OF the Municipal Coun-
ell of New York" the telegram says,
sends greeting 10 the Mayor of Savan-
nah upon mis- Inauguration day. Your
city is assured of an honest and econom1-
cal administration with Mayor Myers at
its head. Randolph Guggenheimer."
Mayor Myers stated that he would be
ready to announce committees of Coun-
Gil later in the day. On motion of Alder
man Tiedeman the board adjourned until
$50 O'Clock for the purpose of taking up
further business
Mayor Myers did not leave the city ex-
change at once. After receiving a large
number Of congratulations in the long
room, he retired to his private office
where he was besieged by friends. He
took charge of the desk he left two years
ago, and at once began preparations for
the discharge Of city business Among his
callers was Hon. f. G. duBignon. who
was a stranger at the exchange during
the previous administration. Mr.. duBig-
non was welcome visitor yesterday, how
ever, and spent some time chatting with

LEGALITY of THE CHANGES.
How the Shift About Was Kept with
in the Law.

Mayor Myers was seen after The meeting
Of Council in reference to The legality Of
Councils action.
Are you assured of the legality of the
action of Council in abolishing these Of
fees and creating other offices for sim
liar purpose to be filed by new incum-
bents?" he was asked
Il am perfectly assured of the legality
of the action" replied Mayor Myers. The
matter was, of course, Investigated before
hand"
Did you have the advice of the city at
torney upon this subject?" Mr.. Myers was
asked
Il did," he replied "Mr Adams was
called upon to give his opinion as TO the
contemplated action of Council and after
investigating replied that ne could find
nothing which would render such action
illegal"
There are then no legal steps which can
be taken by those who have been put out
of Office to obtain redress from the city"
the Mayor was asked.
Il think not" he replied.
who win you appoint superintendent Of
police?"
Capt. Thomas Screven," was the reply.
Does not Capt Screven's election as an
alderman debar him from accepting this
appointment" Mayor Myers was asked.
Not at an he replied. Had the office
been made an elective one, as is the case
with the superintendent of the fire depart
ment, Capt. Screven would not have been
eligible as there is a law forbidding the
election of member of Council to any
office in the gift OF that body during the
term of office for which he is elected. BY a
recent amendment TO the act, however, an
alderman accent a anpOiOtiVP office
in the gift of the Mayor"
Mayor Myers attention was called to
the fact that the act to which he alluded
is the one known as the Munroe act by
reason of the passage of which he was en-
abled to appoint Mr. Willnk commissioner
of public works during his former term of
office as Mayor. Mr.. Willink was at that
time member of the board and also of
the legislature, and the act which enabled
him to accept the appointment as commits
sioner was barely gotten through the leg
islature before the adjournment of that
body.
Mr. Myers was asked If Council had any
one in mind to take charge of the new
public works department which it is ex
pected TO create later. THAT will not be
decided he replied until we have deter
mined the question of the consolidation of
the engineering department with the other
departments formerly under Mr.. Wilank."
Mayor Myers stated that a meeting of
Council would be held to-day a noon,
at which Alderman Screven's resignation
viii be acted upon. After the acceptance
OF his esignation as alderman, Capt.
Screven will be appointed superintendent
of police and will at once take charge
One of Mayor Myers first acts, after
the adjournment of Council was to swear
in Mr.. Mcguire as superintendent of the
fire department The new superintendent
at once proceeded to look up the ex-chief
and take charge of the denartment.

A CLUMSY FORGER.
An Attempt to Cash n Forged Check
Fails.


An effort was made yesterday to pass
forged check drawn on the Citizens
Bank in favor of A. NJ. & CIV. West and
signed with the name of Mr. c. f. Ora
ham. a young white boy came into
Cheathams dairy office on Whitaker
street near Liberty street, with the check
and said that man outside had told him
to get 1t cashed. The check was endorsed
on the back &C. w West" and the boy
presented a note, purporting to be from
Mr.. West, stating that he had deposited
too much money in the bank and needed
some change. The amount of the check
was for SIPS. The check was evidently
not straight and the boy was asked to
point out the man who had given it to
him. He undertook to do so, but the lat
ter had gotten out of the way.
The boy, who was evidently innocent of
any wrong intent, was then sent to A. NJ
4 G. w. Vests with the check 1t was
seen there that the check was crooked and
the boy was told to take it to Mr.. Ora
ham at the Pulaski which he did
Mr.. Graham saw at once that il was a
forgery He had given no check to Mr..
West and the signature did not resemble
his in the least. Mr.. Graham thinks he
can identify the guilty party from The de-
scription given by the boy. The forgery
was very clumsy attempt and no bank
would have cashed it, even had it beerf
genuine, on account of the manner in
which was Endorsed.
