After Meet Last Night After a stormy session, during which both proponenis and oppon- ents of the idea appeared and en- gaged in sharp verbal argument, the Cily Council voted last night at the City Hall to table, next week, the Northland Trans- portation Company’'s proposal to berth vessels at the municipally-| owned City Dock. | The proposition is expected loi be considered again by the City Fathers early next week behind clozed doors after City Attorney H. L. Faulkner has prepared a brief on various legal aspects which were questioned last night. At this private, executive session, the coun- cilmen are expected to determine what their policy on the matter will be. v The other important item to be considered by the City Fathers last night also was “tabled” when action | was deferred on awarding the con- tract for 11 blocks of downtown street paving. Bids under this Pub- | lic Works Administration project were opened last night, but all were found to be at least ten per| cent above estimates. 1 Here Are Bidders The three low bidders were:| $33,745 by Gastineau Construction Company (E. J. Cowling); $33,948 by R. J. Sommers Construction Company; $39,920 by G. E. Krause. It was the City Dock proposition that provided fireworks last night, howeve No sooner I Goldstein ask marks concerning Line’s proposal, than Attorney James Wickersham took the floor as a representative of D. B. Fem- mer, owner of Femmer's Dock, where the Northland vessels are berthing now. Wickersham Protests Attorney Wickersham protested the deal on two main points: First, that it would seriously injure his client’s bsuiness; second, that the city had no legal right to enter into such an arrangement. He pointed- out that if the city wish- ed to lease its City Dock proper- ties, it was his opinion that the question must be presented to vot- ers at an election. This phase, and other legal questions which Attorney Wicker- sham raised, are the ones being investigated this week-end by City Attorney Faulkner.

NEW SENATORS KEEP TRADITION OF SILENT YEAR So-called Headliners Con- tinue to Keep Quiet Except “Kingfish” v HERBERT PLUMMER WASHINGTON, April 6— Habitual frequenters of Senate gal- disappointed that the so - called headliners among the new crop of Senators have shown no inclination to live up to the ballyhoo which preceded their arrival in Washing- ton. Bilbo of Mississippi, for example, was expected to rival the Senate's foremost attraction—Huey Long of Louisiana—when he took his seat Instead, the Mississippi firebrand solemnly nnounced upon his ar- rival: “This year is to be vear of silence.” Rivaling Bilbo in the interest of the gallerylites was hio’s new| Senator, Vie Donahey, glowingly! described in advance notices as “61, large and two-fisted, a product of the green hills of rural Tuscarawas and bearer of the greatest vote- getting name in the history of| Ohio politics.” But Donahey, too, chose silence.
