ABOUT CITY HALL

Yesterday the records Of the city of
pearing were brought into City hall and
are now to bets seen at the city clerk Q
office.
There will be meeting OF the board
of engineers Of the fire department to-
night to makej plans for the coming year.
.AIl city business is at q standstill
pending the appointment of the commit
tee in the two branches Of the city gov
eminent The committees will probably
be announced at special meeting next
Monday night.
1t is urged by members Of the city gov
eminent that the rules and orders should
be Immediately revised. An order for
this purpose will probably be seen at
the next meeting of the city government.
1t is proposed to increase all commit
tees by the addition of two councilmen
and one aldermen, making eight mem
beers on each committee. II this Is not
done President Brown will find 1t difficult
to eouitably distribute the committees
among the % members of the body over
which he presides.
City Messenger Macgowan has been
at work lately taking nm inventory Of the
property in his custody in City hall. 1t
makes long list.
New desks have been ordered for the
board of aldermen's chamber.

THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Com missioner FernaId says Very Few
Changes VIII he Made at Present.

Commissioner of Public Works Fernald
says that worry few changes will be made
In his departments at present. MIR. Bar
bour, who was formerly civil engineer Of
Deeriug. has been taken into the depart
ment rs an assistant engi neer and yester-
day all Of the records and material Of the
Deering office were brought into Port
land with the exception of few instru-
ments. There will be left in the room at
Deering for the present.
An assistant foreman for street work
will be required in this department and
will probably be appointed very soon.
With this additional foreman the work
in wards eight and nine wil' be vigorous
ly pushed.
1t may be necessary for this department
to purchase two new teams for city work
but this is all that will be required for
the present.
1t Is the plan of this department TO
build at least two miles Of brick sidewalk
In Deering the coming season. One mile
of sidewalk will be constructed from
Kennebec street TO the Odd Fellows
block In woodfords. Besides this it is
proba sle that another mile Of sidewalk
will be asked for and constructed. A
problem which will demand the attention
Of this department at an early date will
be the surface drainage OF wards eight
and nine. A few new sewers will be con-
structed Inc Deering.
The great work in Portland will be the
building of the Back Bay intercepitng
sewer, or portion Of 1t, the Franklin
street sewer II this is authorized, the st
John street sewer. About q mile and a
half Of brick sidewalk will probably be
asked for in Portland this season.
1t is probable that the annual appropri-
alton for this department will not be
made in a lump sum, but will be divided
up for different purposes. A portion will
be authorized for permanent work, an
other part for sidewalks and sewers. an
other for maintenance Of streets and
others for specific purposes.

TWENTY-FIVE MILES OF WIRE.
This Amount Was Added 10 the city
Electricians Department..

City Electrician Levi Cummings has
troubles of his own these days. He had
25 miles of fire alarm signal wire added
to his department by the annexation oil
Doering, giving him In all over lao miles
of wire to look after In Greater Portland.
The Deering service is In good condi'
ton, but 1t requires constant Watching
and care as it runs through district
tiled with wires and with many trees
near it to cause trouble.
The police signal service will probably
be extended In the course of the coming
year to woodfords, Stroudwater and
East Deering. The work will cost quite
a sum, but will be done BY degrees and
as cheaply as possible. s.sns

and instruments so.that II any accident
happens to one set there will be an extra
set to fall. back upon. These extra ma
