LIGHTING AND LIGHTS.
Alderman Mannix raised question as
to the contract for lighting the street
lamps at Peaks and Long Islands He
said he had been informed that the mem
beers of the lower board on the commit
tee on lights had made the contract.
This seemed to him an usnrpation Of the
prerogatives of the aldermen. The COM
mittse ON lights consisted of one alder
man and three councilman, who acted as
a joint committee. Alderman johnson
Thought that the majority of the COM
mittee should rule, but Mr.. Mannix
thought that by another section OF the
ordinances the Mayor and Aldermen
alone had the authority to contract for
lights. The subject was referred to the
city solicitor for an opinion.

tition for a fire engine In Ward Q, at Nor
