Not Yet of WAITING FOR AUinOBITY. Conor That the Coard of VTorks Is Ee Iapeaehed. MAYOR'S ADVISORY BOARD No steps have yet been taken by May or Todd or Tax Receiver ucw loan to collect the Urge delinquent list now existing on the tax books by distress and sale of personal property. The Uayor has asked the Board or Aldermen to allow the Tax Receiver to ap point two additional deputies whose duty it shall bo to go out on the streets and seise the personal property of all de linquents. This request la hung up In the Board of Aldermen for the probable reason that the Aldermen do not wish the Mayor to have the authority to make the appointments.

As the Mayor and the Aldermen have to some extent settled their differences during the past few days It 1 likely that the resolution for the appointment of these deputies will go through at the next meeting of the board. It is the Intention of Mayor Todd to see that every delinquent taxpayer in town settles his delinquency without delay. If his Ideas are carried out the city treasury will be full within the next thirty days. It always happens, howev er, that attempts to collect this delin quent tax fait No seizures have been made of personal property in this city tor several years past, and It is predicted that Mayor Todd will Just make a bluff at it. The time for making seizures under the law began aa the 20th, bat no steps nave been taken to strictly carry out the law.

Mayor Todd's Advisory Board was to have held a meeting at o'clock this aft ernoon in the Mayor's office, but it la likely that the Mayor will be so busy reading law that he will have little time to get advice from hie new board. Mr. Joseph Nevin, member of the Board of Public Works, arrived borne last evening from Mackinac island, where he has been spending a vacation allowed him by the General Council. After Mr. Nevin had gone away Mayor Todd ve toed the resolution giving him a vacj tlon.

on the ground that the Council had no right to grant him such leave. The veto did not get to the Council in time to prevent Mr. Nevin from going away. It la not known what the Mayor will do now since air. Nevin has returned, but it is not believed be can do anything.

Mr. rrevltt la one of tho most efficient mem bers of either boards, beina; constantly on duty daily for over a year past ex cept when on him vacation. Another meeting of the General Coun cil la to be held to-morrow night. It was stated yesterday that all of the charges had been prepared and were ready for eabmlselon to impeach the members of the Board of Public Works. Mr.

Brocar admitted several days ago that the charges were prepared, but declined to say when they would be filed. It is un derstood that the Board of Works will pursue a different course from the Board of Safety, and will not allow the case to get so far along before asking- the in tervention of the courts. Chairman Kohn will nave something to say aa soon aa the charges are filed. Mr. Kohn has long de-! sired to get out of the Board of Works, out no reiuses 10 oe anven out.
