"Respectively yours, "Ww, C, Smith "City Engineer." Acceptance Moved : Later in the meeting, Ald. S. Jack- oved, ¥ ; ig "That we accept the resignation of W. C. Smith as city engineer, and that he be retained as con- sultant engineer for 30 days from May 5, with salary." Ald. Macdonald said some explana- tion of this motion was necessary, as to why a consultant engineer was necessary for a month. "I am will ing," he said, "to accept the resigna- tion from tonight. I do not thick there is enough work on hand now to warrant the employment of an engineer." Case Ald. Jackson said it was necessary, for a city of the size of Oshawa, to have an engincer to consult, as_the city's work could not go along in a slipshod manner. The engineer was agreeable to giving his advice, and it was only right that he should be paid. Ald. Macdonald: "What does 2a consultant engineer mean. Will lie leave here on May 5 and take up his other duties, and will we have to go after him to consult him? If so, let us get a new engineer quickly, and let us accept his resignation at once. Ald. Keel suggested that the assist- ant engineer could carry on until a new man was appointed. Cruel Methods Ald. Morris sugegsted it was rath- er cruel, after the engineer had serv- ed the city faithfully, to ask him to CON Si GER By-Product of Phone 9,95 871 "I would further add that in niy | a successor was appointel, and he thought he should, in any «ent, be allowed a month's or two weeks' pay. That would not be extravagant in the least, said Ald. Morris, who re- marked that he believed in treating men as human beings. He did not think 1t was fair, after criticisms, which had not yet been proven, to he too cruel in the matter. He thought the council would be well advised to show a little courtesy to the enginecr. Ald, Macdonald said he agreed with Ald, Morris in some respects, but the letter of resignation had ask ed that the "engineer be relicved as Rich Texture! Fine Flavor!

Jackson started out to say that the citf could not afford to be without an engineer when a spectat- or in the hall interrupted, and kept' trying '~ ask a question. He was promptly informed by the mayor that if he did not keep quiet he would have him put out of the hall. Ald, Caunt and Kirby were in favor of letting the engineer gd at once, whil Ald.

Engineer's Statement Asked to make a statement, City | Engineer Smith said: "As stated in my resignation, it is my urgent desire {to be relieved of the routine work and responsibility immediately, There is only one job that is not completed, and that is the clearwell and pump- [take at the waterworks, which will | | | take two or three days more. city's works are in a state ol co tion such as I have never seen in the | {last ten years, but I do not wish to | see the city left in a jam. © My de- | sire is to serve the city as faithfully | during my last few days as 1 have {done for the last ten years, but | I would like to be relieved of the | work immediately. 1 am 'perfectly | willing to give any assistance that may. be required by the city, either with or without pay." cision Unanimous In view of this statement, Ald.
