This is comes from G Dresident of the the West Side why didn't knew fiow and had got into a finy mess over the wood cotting. Councilman Crooks took exception to this and said that while Mr. Blackledge was a member of the Leard When tha wood cutting contract had been made he was not guilty of any wrong doing and thah If he was why hadn't the coys- eil take npraceedings inst him. Mayer Lerou "‘ald that Mr. Blackledge had been a member of that bogrd that had ordéred the woed cutting and he thought that he was not the man for the position of president of the water bogrd. Vote Is Taken. The question was them put te vete. Voting for the ratification of Mr. Black- ledge as president of the board were Aldermen Murray and Grover, Couneil- men Rozycki, Crooks and Greeme. Op- posing it were Aldermen PFeale and Raymond, Councilmen Sigk, Hagbers, Worthington, Blackmar, Smith and May- or Leron. Councilman Crooks then moved that the matter be referred back to the board of water commissieners, Corporation Counsel Hij ask a question regand procedure and Alderman Murray ob~ jected to Mr. Higgins being allowed ta speak without permission of the couneil. Mayor Lerou said that the oerporation counsel always bad his nerpjission to speak at any time. Hypothetical Question Councilman Crooks not satidfled with the outcome of the vote Tose o ask 3 hypothetical question about what Mr. Bartlett’s status would be ¥ he had net been re-elected to the beard and as he had been appointed to fill out Mr. Com- stoek’s unexpired term. And then indulg- ed in some more talk about the feeling he thought existed against Greeneville, Mayor Lerou interrupted, reminding the councilman that the reference 1t local prejudice was to be left out of the discussion. Mr. Higgina then answered Councilman Crooks saying that his supposition could not_exist. Councilman Crooks then hurled a de- fy at the council saving that ‘“Never will the board recognize Mr. Bartlett as its president.” Mayor Lerou took up the cballenge and replied that the council would still have something to say about tha matter. Cemetery Building Starts Diseussien This last remark of Mayor Lerou's settled the water board ~question and there was 4 lull in the battle for a min- ute until a resolution authorizing tie public wotks committee to lease a build- ing for the offices of fhe superintendent of the cemetesfs at $12 per month and also to install & card index system for the Teco: of burials. Amer.’,‘:':&zmna rose to a point af order and siggested that the two thinge be taken up separately. His suggestion was approved. Again he took up the matter and seid that the action was too hasty and that the council in adopting the resolution on the leasing of another building would be acting without due consideration and onlyh upon the word of no one but the presiding officer. (Mayor Lerou.) Mayor Lerou said that fie thought that now was the time to act as the zent of the present huilding had been raised ffom 3100 3 year to 3200. He said that as ex-officio member gf every committes he had a right to investigate the matter and that he intended to exercise his rights Alderman Grover came forward with the plea that the malonity should rule, 3nd that action should be podtpaned untih the matter had been investigated by more than ome person. skl Alderman Peale asked if the property of Mr. Ver Stess could be procured st~ er. r Sayor Lerou said that Mr. Ver Steeg expected a Drompt answer and that he (Mayor Lerou) called up Mr. Peals and Mr. Raymond regarding the matter and they had seemed agreeable. < Objects to Mayor Speaking Often. Alderman Raymond then objected to Mayor Lerou's speaking mofe than twice on the question and recised a section #- garding the proceedure of the council. Mayor Lerou responded that overyone was well aware of the rules. : Several amendments to amendments were Droposed in rapid succession until finally uo one knew where they werg at. A vote was taken and then it was found that they were just where they were when they started. Counciiman Cpooks moved that they reconsider the vote and then proposed a motion that the magter be left with the public works commit- tee wtih power. This last motion was carried. Pho matter of the card index system was postponed until the August meet- ing. ggins started to the method of Trolley Fares Brought Up. Councilman Crooks presented a resa- lution that the mayor appoint a com- ‘mittee of three to confer with General Manager Anderson of the Connecticut Co., to see if there could mot be a re- arrangement of the city fares R was Yoted. “ Mayor Lerou appointed the following committee, Alderman.
