Manchester Bureau, Times-Dispatch,
No. i1o2 Hull Street. !
In view of tho fact that the Common
Council OF Manchester has decided to
pay the registrars only 1898 10 per day
for their services, instead Of $3.50, as
has been heretofore paid, the entire dele
cation will resign, and when the city
wishes registrars in future great deal
of trouble, 1t is said. will be experienced
in getting men TO serve.
One of the registrars told Times-Dis-
patch man last night that a meeting OF
tho registrars would be held and that
they would resign in a body some time
this week. probably on Saturday, after
the meeting Of the Board of Aldermen.
This action on the part Of the Common
Council has been deprecated by citizens
generally. who do not think tho amount
ordered paid sufficient compensation for
the work. especially as most OF the regis
trars are business men, who have to leave
their business to attend 70 the registra-
ton.
One man said last night that he would
not wait for. tho meeting, but would ten
der his resignation to-day.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
This body will meet at 8 o'clock to-
morrow night A considerable amount
OF routine business will be transacted.
Some Of the important matters to come
Up are the telephone franchise and the
pay to the registrars. The franchise
matter will 20 through without hitch,
but the question OF pay for the registrars
will probably be subject to debate.
Chairman French. Of the City Commits
tee, will be on hand. He, will argue for
the same pay that was paid tho officials
upon former occasions. and will en-
deavor to show that the conditions have
not changed, and that there is no reason
why the registrars should not be paid
as much now as they we're a year or two
TELEPHONE BUSINESS.
With the franchise In hand, the Bell
Telephone Company will at once begin
to put in the new connections which have
so long been desired by many citizens
and business men. Up to this time this
company has been handicapped In Its
endeavors to give a. goods:and proper
service to Manchester because Of the
lack Of a franchise. but now unlimited
service can be secured;.b y Manchester
