 | The board of charities has quite a job on its hands just now, but the commissioners expect to cope with 1t all right. Monday the sewer stopped and Superintendent Brennan promptly reported the fact at the of flee. A short session was called and the matter was turned over to Super intendent Morris, who is having it looked after. In some places the sew. CT is twenty-five or thirty feet be- low the surface of the ground and it is quite a job to get at it, but the men are at it, no matter what it costs it will have to be done. In some respects it is an advantage to have sewer pipe buried deep in the ground, but it has its drawbacks, too, and one of these is when it gets clogged and you have to get down to it.
 Notwithstanding Alderman Lar. kin's declaration that he meant noth- ing more than to have bids called for printing the register by the clerk and then let sthe comptroller contract for the work, some take his position differently and want to know what is the reason no such motion ever is offered when the clerk is a democrat. The register for 1905 wal ordered printed before the former board went out of office, an entirely new departure. and when the present board got into the harness they, too passed a vote ordering the clerk tc have it printed. This looked like 2 deadlock, but long before the second one was passed copy for the register was in the hands of the printer ant instead of making kick about it tn, majority representation set the sea of approval upon the former comp troller's conduct by resembling itl own vote and letting the one passet by their predecessors stand. As matter of fact they could not hay, done anything else, because Mayo Elton approved it the day after i was passed No fuss was raise, about it then, but now it is up t, other parties to handle it and al want a new order of things. whiI all this may be true. still it shoul, be remembered that the alderman from the second was new in the bus iness a year ago and probably wa not on to the game. He has seen few things since and no doubt ha learned a little by his experience.
