CHANGE IN COUNCIL RULES, The committee on the revision of the rules of the common council com- prleted its task last night. Here- after, reconsideration of a vote must be made at the meeting at which the Vote is taken. A question arose as to whether it would be possible for the council to go into a committee of the whole. Councilman George M. Lan- ders said he would object to such a step if it would mean the exclusion of the public. It was finally decided not to take any action on that point as the council could resolve itself into a committee simply by suspen- sion of the rules. A number of minor changes will be recommended in the report which will be filed to- night at the special council meeting. DAIRIES MUST CLEAN UP.
