The TEA RooM AND THE CoMheN COUNCIL
Since the explosion connected with the tea room
expenses of the Common Council has been made,
the Tribune, in common with other papers, has
expended great deal of indignation about the ex-
uavagance OF the Common Council, in eating cam
vass back ducks and every other delicacy, at the
expense Of the Taxpayers. That journal, while it
deprecates those indugences, hopes that the tea
room business will be abolished, In order that our
tax. paying citizens may be relieved of this most
unnecessary burden.
Now, all this is very fine, but we would like to
know how it is that Mr.. McElrath, one OF
| the proprietors Of the Tribune who was one
of our Assistant Aldermen last year, did not
get up his seat, and advocate The reform, in this
matter, which Is contended for in the Tribune at
| the present time. While he was sitting as Assist.
| ant Alderman, there was nothing said about the
matter but now, when he is out Of the board, the
| paper, Of which he part owner and proprietor,
makes terrible fuss about it. But the tea room,
although it is illegal, Is only small part of the
| delinquencies and extravaganza Of the Common
| Council; and the very men who are now crying out
| against the tea room, would spend ten times as
much in giving fat contracts to their relatives and
friends, and participating in the profits, contrary
to law II is In the contract system that the great
est leak has always been but we hope that, under
the new charter, all this will be done away with.
| The mersbers of the Common Council should be
paid, as other legislators are, and we hope that
they will be compensated before long, for the loss
oftIme which they Incur by attending to their
duties. Let them be paid reasonable sum, and
there will be no excuse for their participating in
the benefits arising from contracts.
