The discovery of tho diving-bell encouraged on Englishman pamed Dickson to mako an at- Rompt to raiso tho vessol in 1825, Ho found two mhips, but gave up the entorpriso for want of gapital. In 1859, another Englishman repeat- od tho attompt, but failed for tho same roa- son. In 1869, Col.

Tho quéation of tho salary. of thd Town Col- Teotor was then taken up. On motlon of Justico Van't Woud, Uolleotor O'Brien _was invited to stato ‘hiy views and expootatious,: &y . p ustico Soully sald that, fnasmuch ‘s there waa a conflict of opinion on the subjact, the bost conrae to purane was to fix tho salary condition- slly, ond havo the matter passod upon by the Cotrts, to construo tho statute. Tho Doard sbould bo caroful not to vote away tha pooplo's monoy illegnlly, Lot tho salary De_ fixed at an. nmount auitablo and propor by tho Bonrd, sub- Ject to the decrag of tho Courts as to tho powar of the Board to incrosse tho compensation bo- yond 81,600, JUBTICE AUSTIN excoptod to th opinfon of the Oity Attorney,! and hold that the statuto must be. construed in its propor order, and not twisted 8o na to admit of & difforont construction. He was in favor of fixing the !l\'lm',rl at 1,600, .and then lot tho Courts decido whothor it might be incroased, Mr. Unahan argued that the Board had tho undoubted right to go boyond the sum of 81,600. Tho Colloctor was at tho meroy of tho Board, and could not go into court on & motion to com- pol tho Board to incroaso his snlmav‘. Justico Walsh maintained that the law limited the ealary to 1,600, and tho balance of tho 2per cont commission must go into the Town Y'rens- ury. . OLLEOTOR O'BRIEN thought o ought to Liavo nsalary of over $0,000. This was what the Collector of North Chicago rocoived, and ho only collected £60,000 of taxes sgainat $190,000 for tho West Town, "Aftor o lougthy consultation on tho subject among the varloud members of tho Bonrd, Jus- tico \Fnu'l Woud, in order to bring tho matter for action, offered & resolution fixing the Col- lector's total salaryat £4,600, tho additional compensation being 8,000, He snid ho had pur- posoly omitted sn ordor that this amount bo paid In order that tho Suporvisor might refuse to ] tho oxtra £8,000, and the Collector could go 0 the Courts fors mandamus to compel the pay- mont of the additional compensation. Jutico Waleh belug callod to tho chair, Buper- visor Wall took the floor. Ho snid tho Board soomed to bo afraid to sct upon tho qnestion.

This was seconded. < . LRET IT GO TO THE COURTH. Justico Soully satd it was absurd and unjust that tholaw did not pormit of nlnrgar =alory. It should ‘bo reforrod " to tho courts for settlo- ment, and tho bost way to do this was to refuso o pay more than tho smount alroady voted. Justico Walsh also belioved tho enlary too small, but ke saw no way of getting out of it. Tudor the law, b did not think the Board was Sustified in going boyond $1,500.
