But the matter is still re- garded as doubtful.

AT the meeting of the council on Mon.
day evening, Mr.. r. p. Bigelow was
appointed city assessor by Mayor White
and promptly confirmed Several names
had been suggested to the mayor for
appointment and the selection of Mr..
Bigelow is certainly compliment to
him. He has been a resident of Owos-

ested in everything that tends to the
growth and prosperity of the city. He
will at once begin the duties of the
Office, which he assumes under very
favorable circumstances and with the
good wishes of all citizens.
Mr.. j. H Laverock, the retiring as
SCISSOR, made no effort to be re-appoint-

under rather unfavorable circumstance s
at first and has each year made i'm
provements and broadened the work in
such manner that work is now far
easier than when he first undertook it.
