Mr. Jones apologized for hav ing to be out of the city, whereat Mr. Gwyn expressed his surprise and gratifi cation upon hearing a member of the Hoard express an apology for absence. Mr. Jones thought it exceedingly impor tant that the assessments should be made on the completed streets as soon as possible, for he felt sure that a. mort gage placed on any property on a paved street before the assessment is made would have priority over the city's lien. even though the mortgage should have been put on alter the paying was done.

The material portion of the bill is as follows: That section liO. chanter 111 private laws of 1 883, be amended by inserting alter the word olhccr in line 5 of said section the words 'except said marshal or marshals,' and by inserting after the word "Aldermen' in line 7 of said section the words 'the said marshal or marshals holding their offices during their good behavior, all of which othcers shall be. so that the amended portion of said section Irom the beginning ol saitl sec tion down to the word duties in line 8 of said section shall read as follows: That the Aldermen at the first meetinc after their election shall appoint a clerk and treasurer who may be one of their own number; also a collector of tuxes who may be one of the marshals pro vided lor; and sliall appoint one or more marshals, all of which officers ex cept said marshal or marshals, shall respectively hold their offices (luring the official term of the Aldermen, the said marshal or marshals lioldititr their offices during their pood behavior, all of which othcers shall be subject, however. to De removed at any time, lor mislc liavior or neglect ol duties, or tor any other good causes such as inability to perform the duties of said position. Mr. Jones' Views. Alderman Jones read this bill for the benefit of his brethren and then pro ceeded to talk out in meeting. lie said tnc man who drew tiiat mil was expecting a change in the situation here, and had taken this step while having it in his mind to "fix" the old ;idininistra tion's policemen upon the town. "Men of sell respect and character." said Mr Jones, would not want to continue in otlice alter what has taken place here. If 1 was on the force 1 should resitrti The Board docs not like to single out the men and prefer charges against the mem bers of the force, because that might be a hindrance to them in securing other work. We would much rather each man would come up and tender tlicir resigna tions. 1 his bill s oassairc was n verv extraordinary proceeding, in the light of tnc promises made by our members ol the Legislature, and the man who drafted it, as I have said, had it in his mind to engraft upon the city perma nently so muctiol the old administration as has been in force for two years Air. ones talk throughout was verv plain, and gave an intimation t hat the beadsman would be unrclcntine when it came decapitation day. lie also said charges would surely be preferred against somebody. On motion of Mr. Jones the consideration ot this new bill was re ferred to the police committc to report t-ridav. Alwaia Soiuettaliisr New. The Hoard requested Clerk Young to bring in the official bonds and when done t was found that City Tax Collector Reynolds bad not made a bond for the taxes of 181)2. The bond for 1891 was there all right, but none for '1)2. The laxity of the old administration was here brought up again, and the finance .om nnttee was instructed to investigate and report at once, also as to whether the collector has complied with the law in making weekly and monthly reports Irom bis department. This committee was also requested t6 look into Sanitary inspector orcvaru a bond, which is merely a personal bond. I'ostmaster Kerr asked for the water rate that the government would have to pay for its big building next year, and his request was referred to the water committee, which will also consider the advisability of a thorough revisiou of water rents. These bills were ordered miid : Water department, $28; sanitary department. .bu. 1 bis latter bill is the cost ot Sun day s street cleaning. Bonds Asked a-"or. The finance committee was at work till noon today, and among other things considered the matter of the official bondsof Tax Collector Reynoldsand San itary Inspector Brevard. These gentle men were instructed to have their bonds prepared properly by next Irridav to be submitted to the Board. It Wa Introduced lu The Bouse lv Hou. Jo bra ygv. Blarnea. The bill alluded to in the Aldcrmanic report was introduced in the lower house of the North Carolina legislature bv Hon. John W. Starncs, onccf Buncombe's representatives. The petition asking for the passage of the bill was signed by nearly 500 citizens of Ashcville, among them nearly all of the business men. I he present members of the force have made up their minds to resign, and will hand in their resignations in a bunch, to take effect the first of June, one day before the day of election of their suc cessors. A good iokc is told rn Patrolman Gudgcr. "They say" that Mayor Patton came down town early Sunday morning and going to police headquarters found several of the force sitting around the room, one of them being Patrolman Gudger. Commenting, later on. on the entrance of the Mavo", Gudgcr is said to have remarked that he had just come in off his beat after having walked about 50 miles, and had intended to take a few minutes' rest, when in stepped the Mayor lust at a time when be could torm Ins conclusion without knowing anything about the long walk.
