They have become embolden- ed by their success in dictating leg- islation during the past few years.

They fear only one map, and that man ts the city engineer. | Know Thomson Is Honest. They know that Thomson is hon- est. They know that, in addition }to being honest, he has more brains in a minute than any them, and that therefore he cannot be fooled. They know that always, while Thomson boids the office of chairman of the board of public works, there will be danger to their schemes. And knowing all these things, they are prepared to move heaven and earth in order to secure his removal. Old employes about the city hall smile when this matter of a gar- | bage contract is mentioned.
