Mayor Pattullo replied as fol- lows: 1. Foreman was discharged from the work gn Hays Cove Cir- cle bridge sepals it was deem- ed in the public interest that he should be so discharged. The policy of the cowacil in this connection is not a matter of record in the city hall. Alderman Bullock-Webster re- marked that he considered the answers evasive and not sufli- ciently explanatory to himself at any rate. He had made a care- ful investigation into the matter and believed the man in question perfectly ellicient and capable, not that he in the least criticized the present holder of the posi- tion. He had come to the con- clusion that the former had been discharged because he had taken such an active part in seeking the election of the former mayor. He was not satisfied with the an- swer to the second question. Alderman Maitland asked who it was who dismissed O’Brien. The Mayor answered that it was the city engineer under instruc- tions from himself and the chair. 2 man of the Board of Works. Al- derman Maitland thought the hiring and dismissing of men should be left to the fdremen, who were in turn responsible to the city engineer. The Mayor very tersely and clearly upheld his action in the matter. He thought it most de- cidedly subversive to the best in- terests of the city to have men in its employ who spent a major portion of their time in boosting for the administration then in otice with a view to their job continuing for another year. That was Tammany rule with a vengeance. What criterion had they that a man would not pur- sue the same policy year in and year out and cause others to do the same? He would not be re- sponsible for the work of the Council being carried out if time was taken up with discussion of matters that were questions of policy inaugurated by the Coun- cil and left with the Mayor to see carried out. J. O'Brien, the foreman in question, who was in the hall, essayed to speak, but was promptly called to order by the Mayor. Alderman Bullock - Webster, continuing the discussion, said that to his mind it was not a question of policy. With the present ruling all city employees who were opposed to the present mayor might expect to be re- lieved of their jobs before the end of the year. School Site Granted. cided to aceede to the request of the School Board for a grant of land for the erection of a school on Borden street, where Eighth avenue would interseet it, This will allow the School Board to proceed with the necessary steps toward the securing of funds to build the school, Public Meeting Tonight. There should be a large and representative gathering of citi- zens at the city hall tonight to discuss the question of establish- ing a public library or reading room. A large attendance will be an indication that the people want such an institution and it may be the means of bringing out some good ideas on the subject. It is the duty of everyone who wants a library ‘or reading room to be in attendance, The City Council last night de-_
