What action tho board will take howeier, Is purely speculative. No prediction can be based on the ptesent Indications, for It Is on open secret that there Is some dlilon of opinion nmong the commissioner as to the expertlenej of ordeilng n to pilntlnp Mr. Alexander has stated his position, which, conceding his promises, no one will queMlon that he will alter it Thtn It Is the belief, bised on opinions that hale been ex ptesed since the opening nf the con troetv, that not all of the members of the boird would favor a re-pilntlng now that the work has been done Whntfier opposition there may be among the boaid to a re-palntlng, It Is not founded on n dlshellef In organ ized labor, but rather tint It would be les prudent nnd dignified than If the lexlng questions were disposed of by meielv paselng a resolution that here after no work be done about the pniks unless cinled out by tecognlzed union workmen.
