It will then be Superintendent of Fins Alarm Daniel Neary. This was tho re sult 01 the meeting of flre commissioners held last night. Everything went along lovely until It mate to Chief Jackson's report, In whicr. the chief stated that a week ago last Saturday he had sent notice to Supt. Ca ny, ordering him to send one of ills men to all the fire alarms In the central district and two men to all flre alarms in the district south of Seventh street to the river and bounded by Broadway and Minnesota streets. The report also stated that Supt. Carey, on receiving these orders, had said that he did nut know if any oV his operators would go; as for himself he would not go. Supt. Carey, after this part of the re port had been read, got up and told the flre commissioners that It he had to do lire duty and be responsible for the flre alarm system, ho didn't want the job, and was ready to resign at any time. Commissioner SchwHzcr was of the opinion that all sub-departments of the lire department should be under the Juris diction of the chief, and moved that hereafter the superintendent of flre alarm and the employes of that department should be subject to the orders of that, officer. This caused Supt. Carey to again get up ai.d remark that he did not,want to be at "outs" with the other depart ments, but that he would not, under any circumstances, work under Chief Jackson, and that if such a motion was passed, he would immediately tender hU resignation. Cont:nulng, he said he would perform the duties of his office until his successor T.as elected and would show him around. He ended by saying: "It is a personal matter belween Chief Jack son and myself." Commissioner Schweitzer remarked: "Well, it such Is the case, you had bet ter sign your resignation right away. ' Chkt" Jackson stated to the board his reasons for issuing the order to Supt. Carey, and said that when at large fires it was necessary to have some one to act as messenger in case another fire alarm had to be turned In or to send a telephone message, as he did not have any time to be hunting up telephones. Further it was necessary to have men acquainted with the system for these messengers, and it had been the rule for years when -he waa formerly chief. He did not know at the time he Issued the order that this rule had be m changed. The motion was finally carried, and S'upt. Carey asked to be excused while he wrote out his resignation. When he returned with the resignation ft was promptly accepted, Commissioners War ner, Clarkin and Schweizer voting aye and Commissioner Tostevin nay. HOUGH FOLLOWS SUIT. No sooner had the resignation been accepted than Sherwood Hough, one of the operators, tendered his resignation, which was also promptly accepted. Commissioner Schweizer next moved to proceed to the election of a successor to Supt. Carey, and Commissioner Clark in nominated Daniel Neary for the posi tion. A ballot was taken and Mr. Neary elected. Commissioner Tostevin refused to vote. All the trouble was not over yet, how ever, for F. E. Hou£h, chief operator, who had been sitting in the room dur ing the entire proceedings, got up and handed his resignation to the secretary. President Warner, on hearing the resig nation read, said that he was not In favor of Mr. Hough resigning, was de sirous of retaining him, and thought ho had acted rather hastily. Mr. Hough was of the opinion that he, having been in the oftlcev fourteen years, was entitled to the position of superintendent of fire alarm, and stated furthermore that he would not work under Mr. Neary. After some more discussion his resig nation was also accepted. All of the above resignations are to take effect at the pleasure of the board. Stipt. Carey next asked regarding the investigation of charges against him. as to his being in a scheme with the em ployes to all quit at the same time, If he was fired, and cripple the department. He wanted to show that they were false INVESTIGATION IS DROPPED. The members of the board wore all In favor of the employes, who had re signed, going out with clean records, but did not think it was necessary to carry on the investigation. The mat ter was finally adjusted by Commission er Schwelzer withdrawing his resolution presented at a former meeting, calling for the investigation. The chief in his report recommended that the board purchase 6,000 bushels more of oats and 90 tons of hay. The secretary was accordingly authorized to advertise for bids. A few transfers and one promotion was reported, and the chief also recommended some repairs, which were badly needed. The report was concurred in. The report of the building committo.» on the new engine house on the West side, which has just been finished, was passed, and the final estimate of $4.1-W.LS was ordered paid as soon as the board is satisfied that the contract and speci fications have been complied with. The bids for 150 tons of hay and 3,000 bushels of oats were opened and th« contract awarded to Jameson & Hevener at 28Vi cents per bushel for the oats and 59.55 per ton for the hay. The pay roll for February, amounting to $13,534.92 was passed and the report of Secretary O'Gorman showed the fol lowing financial condition: Balance on hand at last report, $179, --372.75; disbursements, February pay roll, $13,534.92; balance on hand, $165. --837.86. Reports were received from the differ ent subdepartmenta and accepted.

GOOD ROADS THEIR THEME -BIINXBSOTA EAGIXEEiRiS AXD SUR i VKYOHS HO>I*D A VEXTIOV " The fifth annual convention of the Min nesota Surveyors' and Engineers' society opened up yesterday afternoon at th» Commercial club with a fairly good at tendance. George W. Cooley, of Minne- . apolis, and president of the society, pre sided. He started the ball rolling with an address in which he referred to the various phases of the work of surveyors and engineers, and then drifted to the subject of good roads. He said he, with others, had attended the National Good Roads convention at Chicago, and that much information was gained. He said he had asked the committee on legisla tion to present their views on different subjects and had laid stress | upon the good roads question. The committee will probably be heard today. The report of C. A. Forbes, -the sec retary-treasurer, of St. Paul, was next listenede to. He said that the society nad secured many new members and that it was growing steadily' as the years went by. H. A. Boardman, president of the Com mercial club, followed with his address of welcome. He said the club was pleased to entertain' tjje society, and mentioned, the wonderful advance in the professions ■ it '■ represented. Prof. W. R. Hoag, of the university, read a paper on ."The Repair and Main tenance of Draining Ditches." He said, in part: "The problem confronting' - the engineer who proposes to provide a speedy re moval \of excess . water from" a piec*) of country is an interesting one. After the general geographical distribution of the ; ditches had been agreed upon,. the en gineer must then determine where, of size, and of what length the several ditches shall be built. In fixing these important matters he must consider the . probable behavior of the ditches in serv ice, the nature of the soil, the character ' and . extent of the area ' to be drained, since all of these will have an Important bearing upon the nature and the cost of the maintenance of the ditches." . ; The speaker then went into an exhaus tive explanation of how ditches, after being built, could best be kept in a state of repair. -He was listened to with much interest, more a particularly so by the members of the society, for the paper was largely technical. . ; A paper on "Sibley County Surveys" was read by Stephen F. Mullen, of Sib ley county., and another on "The Results and Effects of Good Roads," by W. C. Frazer, of Rochester. . .
