The petition was re- ferred to the cemetery committee with a request to report back to the next meeting of the council Charity Board Inquiry. The report of the finance committea was next discussed. There was some discussion concerning an item in the report of the charity department. There was a bill for $36.50 in favor of the Curran Dry Goods company. In- quiry was made as to how the bill was n of that inasmuch as the proprietor is on the charity board.

He said the doctors were not looking for privileges but for the benefit of the people of the city. Tn cases where it is life or death the doctors should have the privileges of leaving their where they are handy. They might lose a life by go- ing to some side street to get their car and every minute in most emer- gency cases counts. He was in favor of the last words being stricken out. Dr. Bray also spoke.

Councilman Gillin favored the doctors. It was voted to reconsider the action which the meeting had already taken. The report on the fuel situation was received. The prevailing prices re- ported here are: Fire place wood, oak and hickory, $16 per cord for four foot lengths; cut to stove lengths $17 per cord: other mixed wood cut to four foot lengths $13 a cord; mill wood for kindling, %17 per cord.

The report follows: “You have asked me to give a writ- ten opinion to the legal right of the common council to require the board of police commissioners to cor- rect their records in regard to the so- called ‘Officer Litke Case.’ “In my opinion the common council has no such right. The board of po- lice commissioners are by charter made responsible for the good order, conduct and discipline of their de- partment and subject to civil service rules, are charged with the duty of appointing, removing, suspending or otherwise penalizing members of the foree. The powers of the common council reserved by the charter are the right to pass civil service rules and to pass on contracts exceeding $300 in amount. The records made in the Litke case is a matter which is not within the jurisdiction of the common council. You have what in my to legally question. “I have talked with Officer Litke and with the chairman of the board of police commissioners to, see if there v some common ground for the settlement the controversy by mu- | tual agreement. I regret to say that in my opinion if Officer Litke desires test his rights in the matter, the only forum for the decision of such a controversy is in court.” n Paonessa spoke on the re- ving he was it was finish- far as the council was concern- He reminded the mem- bers, however, that if any other trouble comes from the matter the men to hlame are the police commis- oners who placed a stigma for life on the good character of ithful officer A written 12 AL as to hest also asked opinion is settle the me the controversy state W in of to Alderm port cd ed council s received from of the home embadied the supervisor report wa mp, chairman gardens comm ee It statements of the garden and information of interest.

He reducing the common council erman would reduce the minimum and virtually the con- trol of the people would be lost. In his opinion the people should have! some say in the matter. Speaking | further, he said, “The trauble is we | haVe not the people to push us. The people whom we represeat do not tell us what they want and therefore we must rely on our own judgment.” He had ready for introduction a resolu- tion that there should be monthly meetings in each ward. The meet- ings to be held in the school in the ward and open to the public. The purpose of the resolution was for the people to meet their representatives and discuss matters with them. He moved the adoption of the resolution but it was ruled out of order Mayor Quigley Alderman Curtis spoke in favor of a small council. He gave as a good reason the way the | business has been handled by a large council. In the alderman’s opinion maller council would mean more el- ficiency and that is what the city wants. He spoke of the farce of the committees which exist at the present time. The license committee whfen has been in existence for two years. In that time the committee has never held a meeting. There are other com- mittees which are not of importanca and which the members are placed on that they may interested 1n the work of the couacil. While speaking af the matter the alderman said he did not expect to profit from the change. This mean that he does not consider returning to ‘the council for aaother term. Alderman Richards compared the number of the council and the city people to-the operating committees and e fac- tories. He couldn't see the advantage of reducing the membership. Re- plying to the comparison Alderman Curtis said they didn’t compare at ali. The factories have their employes ahd they make use of them all the, time. They interest their workers atid, -get better results. But when the commen council considered there is. fot enaugh work for the members‘anra they cannot interested like the em- ploves. Counciiman Gillin id it was an important matter and .ome to take much consideration. He favored waiting a few weeks before tht mat- ter is decided. He could see' the, ad- vantages of a smaller counci He estimated that the men in the coun- cil represented 3,000 people each and they should have the opinians of these people.
