THE MESSAGES DISCUSSED.

m ESSA0ES
The two messages from the mayor
were then discussed by about every
member Of the council present. some
of them speaking out strongly in an
expression of their individual senti-
ments. Alderman Bear asked what
disposition would a motion offered
Iby Alderman Williams, that the COM
munications be received and filed,
would have upon them. The alder
man was informed that the adoption
of such a motion would sustain the
veto in each case, and that informa-
ton spurred the aldermen to out
bursts of oratory. the messages being
handled from every angle. Aldermen
Renshaw and Concannon were espec-
tally strong in their expressions, but,
as stated above, the council voted to
sustain each veto
FINANCE COMMITTEE
Acting Chairman Bear presented the
report for the finance committee. This
report informed the council that re-
ports from the water department and
comptroller had been found all right.
The committee recommended thatzthe
sum of $4,000 be appropriated out of
the general fund for the board of
works, to be used in defraying the ex-
pensese Of the relaying of the Devil
lier street sewer. The committee also
recommended the re-appropriation of
the sum Of $4,000, set aside in the
budget for paving purposes, this
money to be divided as follows: For
paving Tarragona street, $500; for
street crossings, ETC., $4,000; to the
general fund $500. This committee

of Mr.. Williams.
AFTER WATER COMMITTEE.
AS soon as the president had de-
c1ared the motion carried, Alderman
Williams, rising to question of per-
sonal privilege, took exceptions to
one portion of the finance committees
report wherein it was stated that the
water committee had been making
purchases without authority. He said
that he did not like the wording OF
that report Alderman Bear was
quickly on his feet and expressed the
opinion that no reflection had been
meant to the water committee, but the
finance committee had 1t from the city
attorney that the water committee
had no more power to make purchases
than any other committee or board,
and he wanted things to go on in a
business-like manner. Alderman Will
liams was member of the water
committee Chairman Kugleman, of
the water committee, also felt the jab
by the finance committee and he said
that he had it from the city's acting
legal adviser that certain rights. so
far as purchases were concerned,
were vested in his committee. Alder
man Bear read the attorneys opin-
ion. which stated that the water COM
mittee had not the right as stated
by him.

and as the acting city attorney ad-
vises that action be deferred until the
defective sewer is removed so that the
city can get more full and precise in
formation; and as the consulting and
resident engineers have advised me
that in their opinion the city cannot
hold the contractor as the workman
ship and material are in accordance
with the terms of the contracts and
specifications and the city engineer Is
of the same opinion regarding the con-
tractor; and that the city engineer is
unable to state that this condition
was caused from lack of skill and
diligence on the part of the consult
ing engineer.
End. That if legal action is taken
against either the contractor or the
consulting engineer, or both, the city
engineer will be compelled to engage
expert engineers at not less than $50
per day and expenses.
Therefore taking into considera-
ton the opinions of the city attorney,
acting city attorney, the consulting
and resident engineers and the city
engineer, | deem it unwise at this
time to bring suit against either the
consulting engineer or the contractor,

the city attorney and communications

One of the nineteenth century
greatest hoaxes was a discovery
that the man in the moon, animals
and other forms of life were seen
with a powerful telescope. e.,
Richard Locke, New York news
paper faker, in 1885 wrote an &C
count of how Sir John Herschel, the
great British scientist and astron-
omer, had invented an apparatus
by which the magnifying power OF
a telescope could be sufficiently in.
creased to detect objects in the
moon.
Sir John had been sent to the
Cape of Good Hope at the expense
of the English, French and Aus
trian governments to make astro
nomical observations, and the fact
that he was there was generally
known when the New York Sun
printed what purported to be a gen.
uine news story of his wonderful
achievement.
On the night of Jan. 10, 1885, the
story ran, the telescope with its
magnifying appliance was ready to
be employed upon the moon. The
first things observed were rocks
covered with peoples; then fields
of grain, trees and rivers; amethyst
mountains and verdant valleys
next appeared, while strange ami
