 Superintendent Kelley must have been laughing in his sleeve at the row among the members of the board of works over the nine hour day for the city laborers at the meeting last Tues day night. It was noticed that MT Kelley enjoyed the racket immensely, but probably very few knew why As matter of fact the board settled this question last year so that no action was needed on it this season and no doubt that was the reason the superin- tendent laughed so heartily that he had to put his hands to his sides to keep | himself from falling to pieces. Last year the board voted that nine hours constitute days work for the city laborers during the months of June, July and August, so that the vote ap- plies to this year just as well as to the one that is past. Probably future l boards might not feel bound by it, but it is safe to say that it is all right so far as the present board is concerned What fools the members of the board made of themselves.
