impression that something unusual
would take place. Some suspected
that an effort might be made to elect
meat inspector, but nothing of the
kind developed.

of Trade calling attention to the fact
that the term of George M. ID. Cam as
port warden would expire this month
and presenting the names OF Col.
Enoch Moore, Democrat, and Charles
W. Pussy, Republican. An unsuccess-
| full effort was made to elect successor

Col. Moore and Mr.. Robertson nomi-
mated Mr.. Pussy, but as each received
six votes, on motion of Mr.. Leary the
election of a port warden was post
poned until the. first meeting in July,
when the new Council will transact
business for the first time. The ordi-
nance making an extraordinary appro-
| priation of 81, l41.6s, to pay. the ex-
