The_ e being no available appro riot ion and no work for the ser-
vices of Mr. !vicCa.ustland special engineer, the City Engineer was
directed to lay Mr. lacCaustlana off for at least a month without
pay, and if he is still in the city and cares to take employment
with the city, at the end of -that period, there would probably be
a few weeks employment for him on the sewer projects now penning
before council.
