There Appears To Be A Differenee Existing

The Detroit News of Tliurstlay evening has this write-up of the feeling that seems to exist between a portion of the city council and the board of public works : "There is great breathing of threatenings and slaughter in the municipal atmosphere in Ann Arbor. The president of the Board of Public Works, A. M. Clark, in an unguarded moment, made the remark that the Ann Arbor Water Co. owned a part of the Board of Aldermen. A reporter overheard the saying, and it was printed in a local paper. "Now the Board of Aldermen are giving au exhibition of pyrotechnic rage. Aid. Snyder, of the third ward, has said that the Board of Works must go, and is nut alone in the assertion. The legislatura at LansiDg will be called on to legislate the said Board of Public Works out of existence. "In this virtuous rage it appears that a great many citizens join, who hold the old Itoard responsible for the expensive niistakes made in building the inain sewers, and ,-ilso a goodly list of peojïle with their respective adherents, who aspired to succeed to the office of street commiasioner at the recent death of ISTelson Sutherland. The street commissioner is wholly the officer of the Board of Public Works. They have failed to appoint one as yet, and apparently do not intend to appoint one for several months to come, so the thirty or more aspirants for the office are conspiring to down the board and getthe office made lective. The board will die hard, however.
