He waited a minute or so and then became engaged in a controversy with the city clerk. Mayor Quigley banged the gravel and said in a loud tone: “If you have any statements to make regarding the resolution now under discussion make them.” The Accusation, “All right. I will,” replied Coun- cilman Curtis defiantly “When the mayor takes public documents after they have been passed on by the council and crosses out parts of them I say he is excecding his authoriiy.” The council and audience was tense while Councilman Curtis reached into his pocket and produced a case from which he brought forth photographs, which he flourished in the air, saying “I have photographs ofthe original documents which I will show to prove my statements.” He would have pro- ceeded but Mayor Quigley brought the gravel down with a resounding crash and shouted above the tumult: “1f you are talking on the matter bec- fore the house, all well and good. If you are not, sit down.” Council Support Mayor Councilman Curtis continued to talk. ‘Do you appeal from the ruling of asked Mayor Quigley. s the ruling?” shot back the councilman “That your remarks are out of or- der,” was the rcply. Councilman Curtis appealed buc the mayor was upheld by the counc “All right, we will show in the rewspapers how. the mayor tampered with public documents,” was Coun- cilman Curtis’ parting shot as he sat down.

He said i1t was “‘shame- 1ul” and desgribed it as a “‘prize fight- ing episode.” “No members here have thought of taking sides in this personal quar- el,” he said, “‘and 1, for one, decline to do so. 1 doubt kere with the exception of Mayor Quigley or Councilman Curtis knows what he is voting on.
