the beginning of February the Common Councl sl
passed resolution abolishing the otflce OF super
intendent of the Croton Aqueduct, and directing
that the duties OF the office be hereafter pe1ioIne,a
BY the Water Purveyor. The Mayor sent II oacA
70 the Board with his objections.
Aboat three weeks afterwards, the Common
Council, without deciding upon the resolution LUTON
sent back to them, passed another resolution
originating in the Board of Assistants merely
directing that the Water Purveyor shall perform
wlthou, any additional salary, the duties hitherto
Performed by the Superintendent. The Mayor
has sent back this resolution also, with the re-
mark that it is worse than the other, inasmuch
as while it takes away the duties of the suPefn

ag with yearly salary of a thousand dollars
