The date of his resignation was fixed to take effect the 3tst day of July. Following his resignation, he sent @ communication to the District Commissioners, in whieh he denounesd Mr. Geo. W.

The Commissioners, it appeai eatisiied themselves as to the baseness and false cnar- acter of these charges, and ordered that Mr. ‘ates’ resignation should take effect at once, and he should not be allowed to retain his office to the date fixed in his resignation.

The problem is how to lessea peed Boge ae. and eo . — of water. It appears that iredge out seven feet would need an ex; ‘ture of 13,000,000 francs, and additional three feet would require 11,000,000 francs more.
