Tlie Hoard of A lifei men voretl down the resolution authorizing Sire1, Cleaning CnnnulsHiiuier Woodbury ai pnin' a deputy in Brooklyn.

Th sni in.i i ns reported favorably by tin cnnimi' on Eal arlos and olhYers but the Tammany ni' tii bers of the board, with the assistance of a few of the Fitsiun members, sin i d' in defeating it. This leaves Deputy Comiiiissime'r Quinri in undisputed possession. STre. i cleaning Commissioner Woodbury has v.n power under the charter to appoint a deputy tn this borough unless with the conr eui of ill Hoard of Aldermen. Mr.

Quinn's ntll u' cording the Corporation Counsels int ri at ion of the charter, expired on tin of the year, but. lie held over ami Is reci ivinu his salary the same as he did under In Tammany regime. The action of the Aldermen ysierday in defeating the resolution authorizing the commissioner to appoint a deputy for this borough, practically ties the iattci's hands. While lie could, if he wished, remove Quinn. the action of the Aldermen makes it impossible for him to name his successor.

The Tammany men voting against the resolution gave as their reason the ixcus that the resolution had not emanated from the Street Cleaning Coinmissioii' hut t'runi the Hoard of Estimate. Even it was explained to them that the resolution iti order to pass the Roan! of Estimate had to originate with the Street Cleaning Commissioner they refused to change their attitude. Alderman Walkley of this borough, one of tlie K.ision members who acted with th familiarly men. in voting against the reso iut ion. attacked said that there in iyn ov, i 'ire i leaning lil'le for AM.

President Cantor objected. He said that no instructions had been given to the con1 mittee with reference 10 the time it should make a report, and when Alderman Doull called his attention 10 the record of the instructions given on the buck of the resolution, he declared a tricli had been played. Words were exchanged across the floor between Cantor and Alderman Doull which resulted in Alderman Goodman a.Is ing to a point of order affecting the contention of Mr. Diiull. which the ehair ileeldedad.
