FATE OF PLATOON IN MAYOR’S HANDS Nine Negative Votes Cast Last Night Together With Those of Absentees Could Kill Measure, Should Mayor ©O. F. Curtis elect to veto the two-platoon plan for the fire department which was favorably act- ed upon by the common council last night, and members of the council are cf the opinion that he will do so, it now seems very likely that Le can delay the measure for this year, at lcast. If the mayor vetoes the measure it will then go back to the council for a second vote, and a two-thirds major- ity will be necessary to pass it over the mayor's head. Eleven negative votes will kill the two-platoon since it will then lack two-thirds of the 20 council members. At last night's session Alderman H. P. Richards and F. R. Gilpatric and Councilman H. P. Battey were absent. Alderman Rich- ards has expressed himself in favor of the two-platoon while the other two members have expressed themselves as not in favor of the move. The votes of the nine members who voiced themselves last night as opposed, to- || zether with those of Aldermar Gil- patric and Councilman Battey will bring the negatives to 11 and kill the mcasure.
