The difficulty is Increased when
II Is understood that any papers
signed by one who under the law
has no power would not be legally
binding and might be the basis for
law suits. Yesterday the two can

spent the greater part of the day
sending the others to the opposite
desk.
Should Capt, Wood be the acting
Engineer Commissioner he will
have the peculiar power of pass

Corps of the United States army.
1t is understood that both may
sit in at today's board meeting and
will sign the papers of the board.
Thus until the colonel and Maj.
Besson return. the District can be
said to have four District Com

Capt. Oyster, said yesterday that
since two Commissioners consti-
