Gibbon for u place on the Bourd of Public Works to stc ceed John B, Furiy, whoso term of offico ox- sired last July. As s00u as the clorics voics hiad ceased to be heard in the wheat chamber, Mr. Do nelly got the ear of the president and moy«d that the communication bo referred back to the mayor. The motion was seconded and thea Mr. Morearty made an smendment and in ask- ing for yeas and nuys stated that he did not WAt to quote law to Lo cou Prosident Lowry insistod that had not ncted in conformity with the pro visions of the | [t provided that the mayor should make his appointments on the first ‘luesaay of each mouth, Tuat ho fatled to do. Mr. Bechel said the section of the charter id not apply to the Board of Public Works the mayor Prosident Lowry said be would bave to aiffer, and in doing so would rulo both motions out of order. Ho did not do so out of any discourtesy to Mr. (iibbon as he knew Tim to bo a good man, but simply becauso the mayor had failed to do his duty. Result of Legal Advice. Mr. Morearty called fc while other members called for City ney Poppleton. Mr. Poppleton thought that the mayor had a right to submit appointments at other meotings than the one held on the first of each month. President Lowry still held to opinion and Insisted thatif the council not like it then an appeal could be taen. “Wo will takeit, then,” said Mr. Morearty. Do so, then,” responded Mr. Lowry. *1f the cily attorney says [ am wrong, then 1 will submit, but until that time I shall hold that the appointment is illegal and tho two motious out of ordor.” The matter wus reforred to the attornoy and he, upon the examination of tho charter, held that Mr. Lowry was wronz. The vote upon the contirmation was taken and was as follows: Yeas—Bechel, Blumer, Morearty, Tuttle—6. Nays—Burdish, Chaffe, Davis, Donnelly, Elsasser, McLearie, Olsen, Specht and Mr. Prosident—9. 3 The appointment was rejected by a vote of to 6. Mr. Moroarty explained his vote and talked Tong and loud about the democrats going back on the democratic apnointments. President Lowry also mado a spoech. He recalled the time when a democratic caucus was hold. Morearty was prosent and prom 1ised certain things, but after he got what he wanted he went back on the caucus nomi- nees. Mr. Morearty denounced the statement and started off in another leugthy spoech, whilo the members sat uncasily in_their seats. Aftor the speech had continued some time the president declared the taik out of order and rapped Mr. Morearty down. Mayor Cushing's Jokelet. The rogular order of business was called for, and the first papor read was one that furnished tho council a surprise party. It was a second letter from Mayor Cushing, and in it honamed John B. Furay to suc: ceed himself asa member of the Board of Public Works. A wild yell went up from the republican side of the house, and a wail of disgust from a number of the democrats. Mr. Bruner was the first man to recover from the shock. He had an old wound that he bad nursed and bandaged down for a year. The appointment caused it to bleed anew and in an eloquent speech that threat- enad to disarrange the electrio fixtures in the hall, he toid the story of how KFuray had ‘worked against his election as a councilmun e thought Furay a mugwump, and not a republican. That bewng so ho wonld not vote for him. Bruner's speech ended the eloguence and the roll was called, which confirmed Furay by this vote: Yeas - Beehel, Bruner, Chaffee, Cooper, Davis, MoLearie, Morearty, Olsen, Specht, Tuttle—10. Nuys—Brunor, Burdish, Donnelly, sassor, Osthoff, Mr. President—G. As the clork announced the voto Presider Lowry remarked to the democrats: *That's the way you will havo to take your medicino lféou dou’t stund by your agreoments.’ hairman Birkhauser asked for an assist- ant secrotary to work in the offico of the Board of Publioc Works. The request was referred. How to Run ections, City Attorney Popploton gave an opinion upon tho election question. o bad con- foreod with tho attorueys for the county and sohool board and all were of the opinion tha arrangements could bo made by which ona of judges nud clorks could bo made to handlo ull of tho ballots. Tho rosignation of Ed F. Giberson as deputy city clerk was presentod and ac- covted. A voto of thanks was tendered Mr. Giberson. Then camoa talk upon asphalt pavements, Mr. Chaffee_wanted to know why property owners could not haye shect asphaltum, form O {f they petitioned for that class of ma- terial. Chairman Birknauser oxplamed that form 4C" was worthless, and _had no lasting qual- fties, and had not been includea in the speci- fications Mr. (C'haffee thought that it the board of publio works and the inspectors would do thelr duty, form *C" would do, but the trouble was that it was not properly tamped aud looked aftor whon it way Lolug put own. Poppleton on Barber Ashphalt. This was not all_that thero was on the asphalt question. The city attorney had an oplnion upon the Barber contract for repair- ing pavements. He thought the contract was one-sidod, impolitic and oppressive. ‘There was no public letting and the contract whs mude without receiving competitive bids. If the company had refused to obey the fustructions of tho Board of Pubh Works in respect to the tine, placo and ehir- acter of repairs, the onlv proper course ‘would be to declare the contract void and ox- cludo the Barber company from the streots of the city, contract with some other cow- pany, withhold the monoy due and deaiine wil furthor busiuess relations uutil all ques- tions could be settled. Tho roport was adopted and the attornoy was {ustructed to draw the necessary papers 0 cancel the contract. Mr. Wiley of the Eilectric Light company prosented & communication in which ho mskod that the mattor of the new lighting coatract be 80 amended as to conform to the joint ideas of the city attoruey aud the xmayor. A committee consisting of Meossrs. Beohel, Davis, Donnelly, Cooper and Bur- ish was appointed to investigate the matter, On Routine Work, A resolution by Mr. Davis provided that owing to a recent decision of Judge Wakeley all contracts for the construction, when tho same have not been let, shall bo referred to the city engineer with instructions to prepare & new ordinance in conformity with the rul- ng of the court. ‘The resolution 1o have the Australian bal- lot law printed 1n the city papers was ve- Torred, Mr. Olsen's resolution provided for the ting of 2,000 lists, showing the boundaries location of the new voting districts. Mr. Birkbauser, of the Board of Publio Works, asked for the passage of & resolution Eflx him suthority to order contractors to * the yeas and nays, Attor. s former did Bruuer, Cooper, El- n the construction of sewers where con- ts have been awarded. Mr, Davis thought the chalrman had the wuthority, but lacked the backbone to on- [ pree such authority Tho Board of Public Works was jnstructed to advertise for bids for laying sidewalks in | the permanent sie valk districts if not lald by property owners within a specified time, then the work should be performed by the city and the exponse charged against the property. Reconsidersd the Vote | A short time before adjournment Mr. Mirearty caught the republican members ipping and moved that the vote by which the appointment uf John B. Furay was con- vd as & member of the Board of Public Works be reconsiderad Tho motion was onee seconed by seven democrats, and upon roli call the vote was us follow Yeas —Bruner, Burdish, Cooner, Donnolly, Elsasser, Morearty, Osthoff, Tuttle, Mr. President. Nays—Bechel, Blumer, Chaffes, Davis, 1eLearie, Olsen, Specht—7. All bids for hauling dead animals were roforred to the Board of Health, tho city | attorney holding thut that body should handle the matter, Tho matter of the suppression of the sum- mer garden at Lake streot and Sherman avenue was reforred to the chief of police with power to act. Airing What They bearned. Upon motion of Mr, Bechel the council took up the question of awarding the con tract for furnishing vauit fixturss for the new city hall. He moved_that the contract bo awarded to the Fenton Metallic Manufuc turing company of Jamestown, N. Y. The motion_was seconded by Mr. Osthioff. My, Davis thourht the quality of work of- fored by the two companies was on a par. He then offered as an amendment that both bids be rejected and the city engincer pro- pare drawings showing just what e would need. The specifications su by the two companies did not pro many things that would be wanted v short timo. By so doing competitors could bid on the spacifications and the city would save money Mr. Bechel opposed such a movement The council could not afford to go on record and throw out the bids. Mr. Osthoft did not think the council should indulge in boys' play. More than £2,000 had been saved, and what moro could be wanted? Mr. Olsen said the council acted like a class of large school b Ho pointed to tho electric light controversy. The coun could have made & coutract for $15 per light, but the idea was to readvertise, and now they pay 819, By delaying the samo results would arise in reference to tho fixtures Mr. Chaffee said there had been no compe- tition, as each man had bid upon his own plans. The council had no way of knowing whother the bids were high or low. No man doing business for mmsolf would have pu r- sued such a course. Former Council's Work. President Loty went upon the floor of the council and said that thousands of dollavs had been spent simply on account of the care- lessness of a former cour “There had been one continuous string of changsy since tho first stouo was laid in tho city hall. ALl of #he changes had cost money. Mr. Chaffee, who was a member of the former council, asked Mr. Lowry to state where the former council had wrongfully spent 1 cont. Mr. Lowry ated that the old council had paid the arcaitect $3,000 before the original plans wero complated. The mayor approved the approprintion ordinauce and it became a law. The present council has been denounced by the press and it had claimed that the city was runuing to the d—L. Such was not tho case, or if therc was any running to the d—1'it was started by the former counci!, It any councilman was interested in_any of the bids they should be followed up and pros- ecuted. Mr. Morearty wanted the bids reforred back to the committoo, Mr. Olsen thought the council had acted in a business like manner. Bauksand peoplo owning oftice buildings nad allowed the bid- ders to furnish specifications and nad saved money. Mr. Osthoff could not see where the coun- cil had failed to do its duty. Mr. Specht was_of the opinion that tho council had acted wisely and bad saved money for the city in allowing the vault fixture men to furnish their own plans. The motion to refer and_instruct the city engineer to prepare specifications was ae- feated by a vote of 11 to 4. The original wotion to award the contract to the Fenton company was carried by this vote: Yoas—Bechel, Blumor, Cooper, Dounelly, Eisassor, McLoarie, Olsen, Osthoff, Spechit, Tuttie, Mr. Prosident—11. Nays — Brown, Chaffee, arty—4. Davis, More- Time and Windup. An ordinance to prevent auctioneers from misleading peoplo whilo offering goods at sale was road a first and secoud time, An ordinance providing for the calling of a special elcction to vote upon the proposition of granting the Metropolitan Street vailway afranchise to operate upon the strects of tho city was introduced. Mr. Tuttlo said that he understood that there was no one behind the company. A motion was made to lay tho ordinance on the tablo. The roll was called : Ayes— Davis, Elsasser, Olson, Tuttle—4. Niys —Blumer, Bruner, Chaffes, Cooper, Doanelly, McLearie, Morearty, Osthoff, Specht, Mr. Presidont—10. “The ordinauco was roferred to the commit- tee on viaducts and railways and the city attoruey The vote by which W. A, L. Gibbon's ap- pointment to & place oa the Koard of Pubtic Works was refoctod was reconsidered and the communication from the mayor was referred to the committee on paving, curbing and euitering.
