TIE following communication from the
Mayor was read
To the Honorable City Council of Alexandria 4:
Gentlemen - herewith respectfully en-
close a communication from our City Engi-
neer, Mr.. Il. &. Dunn. rendering resignation
of office. This gentleman has ever proven him.
self faithful and an efficient officer, and hi;
regard Tor our community and his apprecia-
ton of the favors bestowed upon him by your
honorable body have been illustrated in his
refusal of lucrative positions offered him time
after time during his incumbency of the of
fec of City Engineer. There are two sections
of the ordinance creating the office of City
Engineer which arc respectfully referred to
your attention, part OF one OF said sections
reading That there shall be elected by the
City Council on the second Tuesday in hay,
1898, and every two years thereafter, a City
Engineer who term Of otnca snail commence
on the first day OF August of the year o. his
election and continue for two yee.fs, or until
MS successor is clectod aid qualified" There
- as you WI. readily notice, an arbitrary date
ioi lst election OF City Engineer, but it will
hardly be conceded that consequent elections
are positively bound to a second Tuesday in
May of every two years.
Section provides, That no person shall
he eligible to the Office OF City Engineer until
he shall have been certified to be competent
both as respects theory and practice in NUM-
cpal work" Now, gentlemen, while there
may be excellent and competent citizens ap-
plying to your honorable body for the posi-.
ton hereinbolore mentioned, l very much
question the necessity Of going into an exami.
nation or into al election at this time, mas
much rs estimates for the year have not been
made, and the probability of elaborate street
and sewer work being decidedly remote, pos
sibly, therefore, it might become needless and
wastcful to indulge in an annua! expenditure
Of fifteen hundred dollars (S15OO) for an OIL
Ger who will have little or no expert work to
perform. Respectfully,
GEO r. STNIpSOS Mayor

West Siders In Mill
bury Circulate a
Petition.
AT THE MERCY OF THE ROWDIES.
Common Occurrence to See
Several Camped Out
On Door Steps.

Millbury, Sept. GA petition is be-
ing circulated on the west side for a
special police officer to patrol that part
of the town. 1t seems that the unusual
number of rowdies in that part of the
town are making it rather obnoxious to
the citizens, who frequently arise in
the morning and find two or three loaf
ers on the steps of their homes. They
think if a police officer patroled the
streets of that part of the town the
bad element would be done away with
or at least kept within bounds.
One citizen of the west side, in con-
versation with The Spy man today.
said that the great number of loafers
were connected with local mill, as no
difficulty of the sort in question was
experienced before this mill started UP.
The petition is receiving a goodly nun
Der of signatures and will be presented
to the board of selectmen at the meet
