Council Revolts for irst Time at Its Final Session Overrides Mayor’s Veto on Crushed Stone Contract By Vote of 23 to 2—Passes Lighting Pro- ject for Second Time. As the common council of 1914-15 | gave its dying gasp last night it kicked over the traces, pranced on Mayor George A. Quigley’s toes and for the first time in its history overrode a vetd submitted by tne mayor. This | was on the contract for crushed stone between the city and the White Oak Crushed Stone company, which did not meet with the mayor's approval. The veto went down to defeat by a vote of 23 to 2, the two being Alder- man M, Irving Jester and Council- man Degnan. Lack of reason why the contract should not be awarded was at tie bottom of the council’s action. In submitting the veto Mayo Quigley did not express his reasons for disapprov- ing the contract and as he was not present when this matter was brought up he could not state in person why he did not want the contract to go through. In the face of expert opinion against the proposition, the council adopted tie resolution authorizing the city to enter the municipal lighting busines: Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper ex pressed disapproval of the resolution | but the council took the stand that approval would not commit the eity to enter the fleld and passed the measure by a substantial vote. With Mayor Quigley in the chair the resolution was read and Alder- | man Parker moved that it be adopted. ! Councilman Conlon expressed a wish for a roll call Mayor Quigley Explains, Alderman Lawyer aslked foc en- lightenment as to hWow far the city would be commitied should the reso- lution be adopted and Alderman Parker asked the mayor to explain the situation. Mayor Quigley stated, as was explained in the Herald Tues- day, that it is necessary for two con- secutive counclls to pass the resolu- tion and for the mayor to approve it, The measure then goes before the people at the following election. A committee on appraisal is then ap- pointed by the courts and the matter is again brought before the people for their endorsement or rejection. Mayor Quigley explained that it might cost the city between $20,000 and $30,000 for the appraisal, “The city is not in a financial con- dition to go into the business of fur- nishing electricity, but this vote will not be final,” said Alderman Parker. “1 think as a business proposition we should rétain any advantage that we now have, the council last yvear vot- ing in favor ‘of the proposition and this being the second time it comes before the body for its decision. We shouldn’t jeopardize our interest by throwing it out now. There will be | no harm done by adopting it."” Alderman Kerwin moved to table it j indefinitely. Mayor Quigley replied that it might be better to have a decisive vote, either to accept or reject the resolution. Alderman Jester asked for a vea and nay vote. On request of Mayor Quigley and Councilman Paonessa, Alderman Kerwin withdrew his amendment to permit of further debate. Notice To Short—Eichstaedt. Alderman Jester insisted that he was in favor of adopting the resolu- tion’ and Councilman Eichstaedt re- marked that he was not prepared to vote either way. He said the mem- bers of the council should have been given longer notice of the meeting in order that those who were not in last year's council might familiarize themselves with the propositien. The council has been criticized in the past, he said, and he believed this to be i due to its hasty manner of acting on measures brought before it. Mayor Quigley explained that it would be necessary to take the vote at that meeting. Councilman Chamberlain that the expepditure of so much money as would be necessary war- ranted more investigation than fifteen minutes. Councilman Degnan re- marked that people he had inter- viewed were opposed to the project. Councilman Voight resented Council- man Chamberlain’s remark regarding an investigation of fifteen minutes, stating that the proposition had been thoroughly investigated last year. At this juncture Mayor Quigley sur- rendered the gavel to President Pro Tem Marwick as his honor had an- other engagement, Judge Cooper Against It. Corporation Counsel Cooper was asked to explain the situation and he said that the project would be taken out of the hands of the ceuncil if it should be acted on favorably and would go to the people. “Frankly now, don’t you think believed it drink. level teaspoonful in a cup all. glance.

I don't know whether I should give my personal opinion al- though I am frank to say I have one. The city is now facing big bond sues. Just how large they will be no one knows. It is estimated, for in- stance, that one issue will Dbe for $500,000 for the sewage disposal plagt. Until the proper amount has crystgl- ized into definite shape 1 believe it would be unwise to go ahead with the municipal lighting project.” Corporation Counsel Cooper then proceeded to show what the probable cost of such an undertaking might be as was printed in the Herald Tues- day. He placed the cost at over $1,600,000. “I belive it unwise to take any fut ther steps until the city knows just where it's at as we are now as fast as we ought to go mortgaging the future.” “I_am not forgetting the $50,000 in | park bonds for parks worth $30,000,” replied Alderman Parker, “but don’t vou suppose that we might gain a point on our lighting contract with the United Electric Light and Water company if we showed them that we are still thinding of embarking in the business? Water in Lighting Stock. The corporation council replied that the contract has eight or nine years to run. He said he thought the offi- | cers of the United company were terribly handicapped by the water that has been poured into the stock in recent vears. It is a case of high finance, he said. Councilman Voight brought out a new point when he said that any appraisal made on the plant of the company would be based on its val- ue when the first vote was taken last year. If the city throws up the pro- ject mow it will mean that an ap- praisal will be based on the value of the plant when another vote is taken by the common council. By that ! time, he said, the value,might be a great deal higher than it was last year. voters?” asked towards rea 77} B eassts B L once dispatched to the Dardanelles to aid in the effort of the combined foes of Germany to get into Constanti- nople.

A vote on Alderman Kerwin's mo- tion to table indefinitely was taken. ! It was defeated, 19 to 5. Those voting against it were Aldermen Lawyer, Jes- ter, Marwick and Parker and Council- | men Dolan, Anderson, May, Uno Johnson, Eichstaedt, Teich, Danberg, Chamberlain, Voight, Hewitt, Wagner, H. Johnson, Stadier, Ohman and Dao- lan. Those voting in favor were Al- derman Kerwin and Councilmen | Brzozowy, Riley, Degnan, Puonessa | and McCrann. Alderman Lawyer moved that original resolution be rejected with | the understanding that such action was not because the council was op- | posed to the plan but rather because of the financial condition of the city. Councilman Paonessa was puzzled. He could not see any differences between that motion and the one that had just been rejected. Jester Fears More Water. There were more speeches. Coun- cilman Wagner said he could not see any harm in adopting the resolution and Alderman Jester said the com- pany might pour in fifty more tons of water into its stock before anl sub- sequent council decided to go into the business. Councilman Voight ex- plained that he would vote against | the project if the aciion of the coun- cil were final but he could not see any harm in referring it to the peo- ple. It was said last year, he claimed, that the United company intended very soon to increasc the value of its plant. President Marwick, in reply to this, said President Campbell of the | lighting company was in town Tues- the day and predicted that would start within a its plant. Alderman Lawyer's amend- ment was lost and the original reso- lution was carried. It will be voted on at the spring election in 1916, Howl Against Mayor's Veto. As soon as Mayor Quigley's veto on the crushed stone contract was sub- mitted, Alderman Jester jumped his feet and moved that it be upheld and that the contract be referred back the company year to add to to “Has the mayor given any Why: hé’ vetoed the contract " asked Connhcilman Peonessa. I Dbelieve it is poli for him to pre- vetoes and not explain his reason ‘ery sent any reasons.” i City Clerk Thompson explained that the mayor had given no reason in writing but that he expressed the opinion verbally hefore the meeting that the White Oak Crushed Stone company was not the lowest bidder. | “I don’t #gfee with the mayor on thi replied Councilman Paonessa The bid of the White Oak Crushe:l Stone company is considerably less | poor and I don't why mayor does not express his in writing.” Toss-up—City Engincer.

I believe in patronizing home indns- tries and I think the council would be eriticized for turning down home capital.” “In all justice and fairness should stand by our former action," said Councilman Dolan “We should reject the substantial vote,” said May.
