 invitation to the members of the city government to attend the exercises at the unveiling Of the monument at the park on next Friday. The board on motion of Alderman Johnson voted to accept the invitation. The communf-
 cation stated that seats had been re-
 served for the officials.
 Anthony Carroll presented a state
 ment to the board concerning the ap-
 pointment of an inspector for the new
 Scranton street school in the Webster
 district. The statement included all
 the letters which have been passed be-
 tween the board of education and the
 board of finance and the actions taken
 all of which has been previously pub
 lished. The communication further
 says that the board of education refer
 red the matter to a committee con-
 sisting of Messrs. Whitney, Wheeler.
 Betts, and Spang. who voted that the
 matter be left to the inspector Of
 school buildings, Dennis Maloney, to
 devote what spare time, if any, from
 his other duties. Said facts show that
 the above committee ignores the vote of the board of education," that is that
 there be an inspector who will devote
 his whole time to the supervision of
 the work. MT. Carroll further thinks that inas- much as about $7O,0OO of the city's
 money is involved the city should have
 a representative present all the time to see what use it is being put to. On
 motion of Alderman Hotchkiss the en- tire matter was referred to the commit tee on retrenchment and reform. A number of minor petitions were re- ceived and referred to the various committees for consideration. A petit tion was received from the park com-
 missioners asking that sewer be laid in Everit street, to connect with the
 Rock Lane and Cold Spring street sewers. The matter was referred to the committee on sewers.

 mittee of five be appointed by the chair to have charge of spending the $1,000 which the city has appropriated for the entertainment of the guests who will attend the unveiling of the new sol-
