ARE ACTS Of WORKS
BOARD LEGAL !?

With the continuance on the
board Of public works OF two mem.
bers OF that body from the same
ward. in violation Of the provisions
of charter amendment u, some
question has been raised as to the
legality of the acts of the board.
Contractors who invest money in
city work and have to accept bonds
in return have become alarmed and
sought legal advice. Some of them
claim that they. have been advised
that the contracts let by the board
of works while constituted as at
present are Illegal.

snip other Than the Davis Palmer Sunk
Near Mouth sf Boston Harbor.


BOSTON. Dec. 2s.--From reports made by
Capt Brown Of the steamer Belfast and
Capt. Kemp OF the tug Ariel there has
risen an impression that perhaps another
schooner was wrecked just outside Boston
harbor in addition to the FIVE master
reported yesterday.
There is no longer any doubt that the
five master which went down In the
Sunday blizzard was tho Davis Palmer.
She met her fate at the entrance of Broad
Sound Channel. where she lies menace
to shipping that passes through the
sound
Capt Brown OF the Belfast reported
sighting the Ave mastheads projecting
about ak to eight feet out of water about
a mile north OF Commissioners Ledge.
Capt. Kemp OF the Ariel reported sight
ing three topmasts OF q large schooner
projecting out Of water about mile and
q half northeast from the gas buoy on the
Graves. On two Of the rnastsl were Gilt
balls. but the end OF the other mast vas
broken on. Attached TO the masts were
Raffs, booms and other wreckaRe.
Not only were the descriptions Of tho
two captains different. one stating that
Ave mastheads were projecting out OF the
water and the other that three topmasts
were visible above the surface. but also
between the two positions. Therefore II ls
not impossible that two schooners went
down. and it might even be true that they
had been in collision In the storm.
Capt Sookamp Of the barge Hopatcong
to-day reported passing tho Davis Palmer
about Z O'Clock Christmas afternoon a
mile and a half OF Cape Cod The Hopat-
cong passed up close TO tho Palmer and the
captain observed the crew gathering on
deck singing and celebrating the holiday.
