Did Just Right

Eleven members of the Common Council signed a cali Monday for a speciat meeting to be held Monday night to take action in referenco to the further eraploymeut of Mr. Funke, also in referenee to the further emplnyment of Mr. Groves by said city, also the employment longer of a sidewalk inspector and a bookkeeper for the street commissioner or of any other person whose services can be dispensed with. It was a olear case of retrenchment with a will. But the Board of Public Works had already gone at the same business and had dispensed with the street commissioner's bookkeeper and the sidewalk inspector. The Council then began the carving procesa upon J]$r. Funke, the man who has been in ijiarge of the work on Detroit-st. It took but a short time for the council to decide that Mr. Funke be given a dis charge on Saturday night. The general sentiment in the council seomed to be íthat Mr. Funke was making the most of his job, he having been omployed at so much a month until the work of macadamizing Detroit-st. was eompleted. The next questien that came up was that o? retaining Mr. Groves, who had been employed some months since as assistant engineer for the especial purpose of looking after the sawer work. It was olaimed by some members of the council that the resolution which authorized the appointment of Mr. Groves was really a contract for a year. The majority, however, did not agree in this and a committee was appointed to investígate the matter and report at the next meeting.
