Councilman Curtis Scores While Mem-
 bers Are Taking . Nap. , Mayor Quigleyis is opposed to an ad- yisory board to the board of public works and water commission as he says such boards look well enough on paper but never work out as intended
 Councilman Curtis, who is not the best friend Mayor Quisley has, out witted the council at the May meet ing when the board wat appointed by springing resolution for It's appoint uent and by naming the personnel, of the board It is customary to al-t lrw the mayor to appoint such com -t i1iittees and the members Of the coun-i ell are just beginning to realize that they swallowed the hook, line and tinker.
 The rAsoI1tion calling for such a board did n6t pass through the hands of the cofnrnittGe on rules and legisla- <ion as did other matters which came up before the council. Mayor Quig' lev Is said to be dissatisfied that some members of the council did not see the point quick enough. He says he sAw it but does not want to spend all HIS time speaking from the floor.
