It wasn't even referred to at the meeting of the aldermen yesterday, much less acted upon. The mayor's representatives didn't have enough to take the order on a majority vote out of the committee, and that being the situation, a two-thirds vote to pass It was nothing short of a nightmare The opposition started by Aldermen Bangs and Bell a few weeks ago has grown from meeting to meeting. Last week the absence of Alderman Cauley left the aldermen one short of the necessary two-thirds. Yesterduy. with Alderman Cauley present, the friends of the oi-ier didn't have courage enough to take It from the table.

The aldermen who have Joined the of the opposition have determined to keep the order In public Improvements until the mayor not only ters the WTlter requested that his name re witnneid unless absolutely necessary, as It was considered a crime down thee to give Information about the de- partment. "He appears to be afraid that he will lose Ms job," said the alderman, adding.

In the meeting of the board which preceded the committee meet lug Alderman Bangs offered four orders touching the Sl.utiu.uGO loun. which may help to keep the department busy for a few davs preparing figures. Mis tirst order is that the mayor be levi'iested to Instruct the heads of depart meats to allow any member of the board of aldermen to Inspect all books relating to the offices at all reasonable times: and further to aUow such uiein-t seeking to make an Inspection of the books to be assisted by any expert accountant, or ether pet son, such aa the alderman may emplov at his own expense.

Curleya View of It. Alderman Curler said that while might not have been quite as spectacular as the methods employed by the alderman from West Roxbury (Knee-land), still it appealed to him to be the fairest to have gone to the head of that deportment and made his om-plaitit against the alleges I violations. He was sure the head of the ferry department didn't desuo to seek nuarrels with members of the board, and therefore would have been more than pleased to correct any violations of law to which his attention might have been called. The alderman then referred to the conditions In the public library as affecting the scrubwomen. They received I'I'j ii-nts an hour for two hours' work In the morning and the same for an equal number of hours In the afternoon, spending 10 cents both afternoon and morning In earfsre to and from work "The alderman from West Roxbury" (Kneeland).
