This Important Branch of the City Government Operated In? dependent of the Councils?A Bit of History Showing How it Was Accomplished?A Comparison of , Ordinances. A comparison of the ordinances pub? lished below will show that prior to April, 1S0G, the ordinances of the city gave the Board of Water Commission? ers extraordinary powers In the con? duct of that'yery important branch of tlie city government, Including t ho right to make contracts and to fix sal? aries uf officers and employes, ,v:c. The Councils in April, lSiio, recognized the fact that the ficope of this De? partment was too broad, and passed un ordinance liking salaries/ and otherwise limiting the powers of the Board.\ Thla ordinance appears to have been unsatisfactory to the present adminis? tration of the Witter Department, as wo find that In February last the Councils,! bt-.ing requested by the Hoard of Water Commissioners, not only restored It toi I tu former status, hut added additional privileges and rights, which practically relievo the Councils of all l?i>tii.-i- add trouble of supervision of the affairs of this Department.

McMantlS moved suspen? sion of rules and the passage of the or d Ina nee. Mr. Tasse well Taylor advocated cau? tion in granting such broad power?. Mr. A. S; M artin, of the Water Com? mittee, spoke in favor of the ordinance. Mr. J. Frank East moved an amend? ment as follows: "Provided, however, that after the appointments shall have been made, their dutiedi defined, and their compen? sation fixed, thai the same shall be ap? proved by tlie Councils." The ordinance as amended, on motion: of Mr. McManus, was placed on Us] ixissnge, and I.OST by vote of S ai*C31 and 9 nays, recorded a? follows: Ayes?Allen, Calte.

It is now being waged with unrelenting, vigor on both sides and it is no exaggeration to say j that few fights before the Councils ever excited greater interest. The number of partisans inch company has is much greater than one would have supposed and this adds Interest to the develop? ments. Both sides were active yesterday They are preparing to continue the fight before the special meeting of the Common Council and the regular ses? sion of the Select branch Mr. Ponder said yesterday that he be? lieved his company was awarded the contract by the vote of 11 to 7 In the Council Tuesday night, .but that he would take no steps until the Councils met. He believes that President East's ruling that 1! :s a constitutional ma? jority on a 'question where the two members from Atlantic City Ward are not entitled to a vole Is correct. It Is thought by some, though, that Mr. Pon? der will not express himself; that should the decision of the Common Council eventually give the contract to sonic company other than Mr. Fender's, the matter will be carried to the courts on the above issue. This issue is a troubesome one. It is not new by any means, having caused much discussion heretofore. In fact, the City Attorney* was called upon to give it decision in a similar ease some? time ago. A bond issue was voted for the Atlantic <'ity Ward sewers and u constitutional majority was necessary? Hint is. a majority o? all ill" CouricIN men. There arc twenty-three members of the Common Council, hut on mat? ters relating to appropriations or ex? penditures the two members from At? lantic City Ward have np right to vo.te. In the vote on this bond issue there wore on!;- it nfllrmatlve voles, not counting ih ' Atlantic city Ward mem? bers. The City Attorney; in a lengthy decision, held that leaylfas th:-se out only twenty-one Councilman wore left, mid that eleven is a constitutional ma? jority In cases of this kind. In, the course of his opinion ho says: "It is not reasonable to slippbSe '.hit: the increase <>:' the number bC the Cqunctlmen, accompanied as it was by a prohibition on. the new Councilman against voting on issues of bonds, was Intended to trinke It necessary to have a larger utllrmntlvc vote In order to make trio issue of bonds vnlld." Mr. Ponder s friends claim that the awarding of the lighting contract Is a similar cane. On the other hand, the friends i>:' Mr, Williams' cOmonny quote the city charter which says that on questions lilt" iiiese il shall require a majority of all the members electotl to (he Councils. They claim that the charter should have more weight with Couhcilmcn than nn opinion of the City Attorney. Colorocl Smiths in Troublo.

John Smith came to the Police Station yesterday morning and reported that he had "oor-n robbed of (GS by Cornelius Smith. Detective Snowden soon arrested Cornelius, and the money waif found on him. John, the accuser, appeared later, and when asked whore he got the money made a sudden break for liberty, but was caught by Detective West.
