The appoimtments to the Board of Public "Works of Thos. J. Keech, and Dr. W. B. Sniitih will be approved by tihe people genemlly;. Mr. Keech stood the pressure on the board for a number of years, until he could stand it no longer, and then resigned. The eonditlons are even now more unfavorable tiian then, which causes a lïttle surprise amoing certain people. But he made an excellent member of the board, and our citiaens generally will be glad to see him back again. It looks to an outsidef as if the council did a very unnecessary and unkind iact in refuBing the request of Prof. Hutchins Mcvndny evening. The city can gaSn not.hing and the loss of the dmdividual in this instanco is very great. "While the conncil should be jealous of thO city's rights, and not allow them encroached upon, at the same timo it can not afford to be smalJ and picayunish with one citizen simply beoause he is a professor in the University, while granting requests that have been repeatedly refused by previous councils, to another citizeu wlio is not connected with the Univorslty. Such things will make more intense a feeling tlhat is now greater tflian it ought to be.
