ported by the committee be laid on the
table, and Mr.. Horn seconded the motion.
Mr.. Sadler moved to adjourn, and this
was seconded bv Mr.. Foley.
The motion to adjourn was lost by o
heavy majority.
Mr.. Davenport then renewed his motion,
that it be laid OIL the table.
Mr.. Dunkel moved that no incorporation
was desired and called for a vote, which was
seconded by Mr.. Joe Mendes.
Mr.. Sadler thought this scarcely a fair
proposal. He saw many persons in front
Of him whom he did not recognize as citi-
zens Of Eureka. He wanted this matter
discussed intclligently and acted upon
squarely. Warming, somewhat, he de-
clared emphatically that he would not be
howled down and declined to be inter-
rupted.
Mr.. Dunkel asserted that every man
present had a perfect right to vote on this
question. He had, he said, requested Judge
Hubbard to specify in the bill that only
the taxpayers should vote. The Judge had
refused. however, and no one could now
complain II he accepted that decision, and
he wanted every one to record his vote.
Mr.. Davenport sarcastically remarked
that the other side would have entered no
objections had they known the majority
would vote their way.
Mr.. Sadler thought it folly to discuss the
question as to whether incorporation was
wanted or not. 1t was sure to come, and
the only thing that remained to be done
was to sacure such q government as would
prove acceptable to our citizens.
Mr.. Davenport suggested that Mr.. Dun
kel's motion be so amended as to read,
"Whether incorporation was desired as pro-
viIcd bv the hill rpDnrfp1
Mr.. Sadler moved that it read, under
that or any other bill"
Captain Rock said he was not n large
property holder, and scarcely felt like TAX
ing an active part in the proceedings.
Personally. he scarcely knew whether he
favored Incorporation or not, but believed
the bill as reported would meet the wishes
of the people. lie was opposed to taking
any vote on the subject, as the expression
Of such a small gathering would not repre-
sent the town.
Mr.. j. III. Horn declared it wonld cost
$50, 900 to run the city the first year.
Mr.. Davenport said the money would
come from those who lived on Spring street.
Mr.. Horn retorted, and said Spring street
denizens could well afford it, as the COM
m%issioners had always spent money and
made improvements ON that side of the
town. Laughter.
Mr.. Sadler favored a new form of gov
eminent, in order to get rid OF nuisances
that have bafiled all attempts heretofore.
Mr.. %. l.. Scott thought a vote should
be taken as to whether those present fav-
oied incorporation or not.
Mr.. Wilton, amid shouts Of "Ques-
tom ''Question," declared that he was
opposed to any change in our form of gov
eminent, and thought the bill before the
meeting was as good rs any that could be
framed. He wanted nuisance laws, but no
city government.
The Chair then put the question to the
meeting, and it voted for incorporation

against. The result was hailed with ap-
plause, and surprised the friends of the
bill, as they had anticipated they would be
beaten.
up and considered.
On this motion the Secretary declared
there were 40 in favor and 25 against.
Joe Kind excitedly exclaimed that he
had counted AZ as voting against the mo-
ton. and claimed it was NJ fair count.
The crowd shouted "Sit down." good
naturally, and Joe accepted the sugges-
ton, and squatted.
Mr.. Davenport wanted to adjourn. Lost.
Mr.. Foley moved to take up the bill and
discuss it, section by section, and Mr. Sad
Ter seconded the motion.
Captain Rock was of the impression that
a two-third vote was necessary to do this,
and moved to adjourn, sine die.
Mr.. Sadlcr thought the bill should be
considered, for the town would be incorpo-
rated, regardless of the action of the meet
ing. shonld they consider the matter
calmly, however, and arrive at some def
mite conclusion, a better form Of govern
ment might be obtained than would be Sc
cured were the meeting to adjourn without
action.
Mr.. Fred German moved the meeting
adjourn until Thursday evening at 1850
O'Clock, and it was carried amidst a good
deal of confusion.
