cnaIac OF ungontiemadiy and supplementary
copdNct OF one al tb" Aldermen, and 10 report i'd
Fls"S some action II the matter wouldro respectfully
submit the fUlt0Wmg
! Your committee find tbs task allotted to them a
/ very unpleasant one for two reasons First our
On la. Intercourse with the Alderman has been of
| tho most friendly character. Second, we find no
precedent IN the history of the city to guide us in
our judgement. Bt at the same time we think it to
be Que from the council to the Mayor and to them
solves tu such conduct and fake such stems
] g41a 10
/ repeWed ihe facts, as your committee understand
/ them, are rs follows: During the meeting Of the
! NoWcl On the I'D alt a motion was made 10 adopt
me report OF The Fnauae Committee, amended
by lie Council While this motion was being ar
E8ued, and before coming to q vote, Aid. Fish said
" As or me, | will not vote" The Mayor replied
tuat, by the rules Of the Council, member could
ne excused from voting except by permission of
He Council, AID. Fish reiterated, with an oath
has determination mot to vote, saving he cared
neither Tor tn" Council nor the rules thus actually
Selling al naught the authority Of the Mayor and
touueB, The subject was at once brought to the
! attention of the Aldermen by the Mayor but q mo.
| ton being made to adjourn ii was not acted upon
un,ll the next meeting, when the Mayor gave Aid
ash an opportunity 10 explain or rehact the often
lFe language, who, IN style Of OratOry peculiar
To himself defended the course he pursued at the
previous meeting, and indirectly deied the author
Ity OF his associates, as he had done directly the
week previous.
The committee feel that such conduct cannot be
20 highly Censured that the dignity Of the Coun.
en- and Inc authority Of the law amounts to nothng
i officers Rre allowed TO Insult the or tramplc
upon tho other and we therefore unanimously
recommend for the action Of this body the following
preamble and resolution:
! WHEREAS, AID. Fish was, during meeting OF
the Council Of the 22d Of September, guilty of con
duet entirely uubecoming a gentleman and an Al
dcungn, and virtually repeated the same at meet
| on the Sd inst, therefore
BcS@tri, That, this is the frat instance in the
history Of the city where member has been ar
roigned for misconduct, the punishment shall be to
place upon record lhis resolution, and the report
accompanying it, but the council declare that a
repetition Of the offence shall be followed by al
immediate expulsion of the offending member All
of which is respectfully submitted
