The atmosphere at last night's meeting of the common council was .| surcharged with a spirit of belliger- ency and several lively tilts took place. A snappy argument “occurred on a resolution from Alderman Christ, authorizing Mayor Quigley to appoint a committee of three to work in an advisory capacity with a committee “l'authorized at the prévious meeting to study the sewage problem. The re- solution stated that the advisory com- mittee would be expected to pay its own expenses if any were incurrea. This aroused Alderman Shine’s ire and he denounced the resolution, characterizing it as unfair. If the expenses of the original committee of four are paid, he thought, the ex- penses of the new committee shoula also be paid. In this he had the support of several other members oi the council but Alderman Christ's resolution prevailed. The council showed considerable pepper over a resolution from Alder- man Jester, requesting the board of health to grant a master plumber’s license to Joseph Emley. After wad- ing through a mass of debate, the body voted to request the board of health to give Emley another ex- amination. At a previous meeting, the council voted to request the board to grant Emley a license but the board did not see fit to acquiesce as, it reported, Emley failed to pass an examination. After a lengthy discussion on Al- derman Christ's resolution, the coun- cil voted in favor of a committee of three from the council to aid the committee of four:on the sewage problem. Alderman Christ wanted this committee of three to pay their own traveling expenses but Alderman Shine considered this unfair. If the expenses of the committee of four are to be paid those of the committee ot three should be paid also, he thought. He moved that the expenses of no member of either committee be pald. He was ruled out of order as the council at its last meeting voted $1.- 000 to pay the eXpenses of the com- mittee of four. Councilman Dolan thought it would te a small piece of business to force the committee of three to pay their cwn expenses, Alderman Jester agreed with him and made a motion that their expenses be paid. Mayor Willing to Pay Own Expenses. Mayor Quigley left the chair in ¢harge of - President Pro/Tem Christ and spoke against the motion. He said he was willing~to pay his own expenses but he did - not think it would'be just t& take .a _committee around“ the courtry and pdy. ¥ ‘ex- penses. Engineer Fuller charges $100 per day, he sald and most of the $1,000 will be spent on.. engineer's fees. The mayor didn’'t™'want “any moré~ bulls” made - regarding - the sewage problem. . Councilman Uno Johnson thought it strange to call in any expert engineers as he understood Willlam H. Hall, city engineer, was to do-all the engipeer- jng now ‘that his salary ;s = raised. Mayor Quigley replied that Mr. Hall is not a sanitary engineer. “Kill Alderman Shine’s Motion.” The mayor urged the council to “kill Alderman Shine’s motion.” Al- derman Lawyer expressed surprise that so many members.of the council were seeking to have their car fare paid around the country. Alderman Shine’s motion was “killed” and on a rising vote it was decided, 20 to 4, to pass 'Alderman Christ's resolution. The Emley Dispute. In the report of the board of health it was stated that Joseph Emley had not passed an examination for a mas- ter -plumber’s license and therefote was not entitled to a license. Alderman Jester moved that the jtem be placed on the tablé indefinite- ly. He wanted it referred back to the board and corporation counsel. Alderman Christ and Councilmaft Coyle objected and’'the report was ac- cepted for printing in the minutes, Jester withdrawing his [ motion. s Later Alderman Jester introduced a resolution requesting the board of health to renew Emley’s license by August 1. This resolution is similar to one introduced by Alderman Jester at a previous meeting of the council and which was refused by the board. Emley Not Used Right. “I don’t believe the board used this man right” said Alderman Jester. “One member said ‘we should stick to our deciston regardless of what pres- sure.is brought to bear on us.’ " Alderman Jester said Emley would i over the board. He. understood that the board intended to give Emley in the near future , an oral .blackboard examination. believe in pressing the new tion. Kerwin's Favorable Amendment. An amendment was offered by Al- derman Kerwin, requesting the board to give Emley another examination. T. E. Burns of the board of health defended that board. Councilman Degnan thought it would establish an evil precedent to issue such a suggestion to the health board and moved that action be post- poned indefinitely. On a yea:and nay vote the motion was lost' 22 to 4. resolu- College Education Unnecessal Councilman Paonessa thought Em- ley, a citizen, was being deprived of a livelihood. i “It shouldn’t be necessary for a man to go through Columbia college in order to pass an examination for a plumber’s license,” he said. Everything Out of Order. After considerable discussion Mayor Quigley ruled that all tne debate was out of order, Alderman Jester appealed, but Mayor Quigley didn’t consider his argument sound. The mayor was in- formed that the board’s rules were not adopted as ordinances and he then ' withdrew his ruling regarding the debate being out of order. Theé resolution as offered by Alder- man Kerwin was adopted. Information on Chestnut Street. On suggestion of Parker it was voted to inform the property owners on Chestnut street what the city proposes to do in re- gard to widening the thoroughfare. President E. N. Humphrey of the board of public works explained in a very lucid manner what the city pro- poses to do. Councilman Parker said he did not ‘believe the property owners under- stood the project. Alderman Spittler objected:- to the destruction of forty- four trees between the railroad cross- ing and Stanley street.. They now of- fer shade to the hundreds of shop employes going to and from dinner, he said, and are valuable also because of their beauty. President Humphrey replied many trees have aiready been moved and a number will have to be cut down in the near future. Fakers' Fee $25 Per Day. that A blow against. street fakers who | have ‘annoyed’ north end merchants Was dealt by referring to the com- mittee on ordinances a resolution from Gouncilmiin Coxle. to . ineneass fakers' license fees from $1.to $25 per day. 5 The' couneil by a rising vote au- thorized the school board to ‘locate wooden portable school houses with- in the fire zome. As there is an ordinance forbid- ding this, it' was necessary for the council to pass the matter by a two- thirds. vote. Grove Street Building Lines. Councilman Eichstaedt made his maiden speech, supporting Alderman Christ on his proposed continuation of a building line on Grove Hill. The board of compensation and assess- ment made a report on benefits ana damages for a building line to a cer- tain point.- Alderman Christ urged that the property owners wanted the line continued and on his motion the report was referred back to the board of public works which will give more hearings. £ President Humphrey stated that a building line was warmly advocated until some of the property owners learned it would cost them several thousand dollars. On request of the council the board of public works furnished a list of streets on which it is proposed to lay macadam and the approximate cost of the work. President Humphrey of the board said he was surprised to learn that the report had been presented as such action was not intended. “Those figures were prepared by the previous city engineer and are misleading as the present city engi- neer uses a different method of road construction,” said President Hum- phrey. “It will cost more but you will get better streets.” The report was referred back to the public works board. Square Deal for All The matter of the board of pub- lic works ordering walks repaired brought the query from Councilman Parker whether ‘the; board intended to be consistent. have passed an examination if it was an oral or blackboard examination. He thought the council had some power over the board. Alderman Christ said that while he signed Alderman Jester’s first res- olution he could not agree with him regarding the .power of the council “I don’t think it fair that a poor man should be required to make re- pairs and those who can well afford to do so passed by,” said Councilman Parker. “We will play no favorites, all will be treated alike,” replied Councilman Coyle, who has been appointed side- T sl T T M He did not Councilman | Te-} walk inspector by the board of pubs= | lic works.

It has béen record the payment in his books. It was also voted to-remove the lien on Mr. Alling’s property. All Up for the Outing. Alderman Kerwin reported for the outing committee. The outing will be held on July 22 at Lighthouse Point and Savin Rock. Alderman Kerwin has secured the ball grounds at Lighthouse Point from 11 to'1 | the Colonnade at Savin Rock at 2:30 o'clock. Tickets will be $1.50, the | same price as last year. Most of the city government will make the trip in autos. Councilman Callahan Resigns. The resignation of Councilman John F. Callahan, councilman from the fifth ward, was accepted with re- gret. On motion of Alderman Lawyer, the council adopted a resolution di- recting the board of public safety to investigate the advisability of estab- lishing a regulation against the use of strong search lights on trolley cars and autos in the city. The alder- man explained that these lights shouid be turned off when the vehicles are in the city as many people become temporarily blinded and great confu- sion exists. On motion of Alderman Spittler the board of public safety was instructed to provide yellow arm chevrons for the traffic policemen. 3 Petitions Received.

Strangely enough, the old-time reme- _dies for this very common complaint were nauseating doses and so powerful that they often made the condition worse than before. Then they wore outin their efiect so that it was necessary to take a larger and larger dose. Thofirst attempts at improvement sought to make the dose more palatable but to disguise the taste the size was increased and results were unsatisfactory. ¢ In this age of progressit was impossible that doses resembling horse medicine should continue to be_ taken by human beings.” Inthe new laxative, Pinklets, is presented a dainty, sugar-coated pill, hardly larger than a grain of mustard, that is free from unpleasant effects, does not npset the stomach nor gripe but aimKly gives naturc the needed assistance.
