MAYoR's OFFICE,
BozEMAS, MONTANA,
Dec. elst, 1888.
To the City Co,.neil:-
GEsrLEMES-I respectfully advise you
that l decline to sign the warrant issued
in final payment upon the Alden grading
contract, and for the reasons following,
to-wit.
lst. The payment was allowed at a
special meeting called solely for the pur-
pose of acting upon said matter. But the
rule adopted in previous full meeting, to
the effect that NO bills against the city
shall be allowed or considered except at
the regular monthly meetings, ~us not
suspended.
Consequently, the allowance of said
bill at said special meeting, without s''s-
pension Of said rule, was illegal, and l
have no right to sign said warrant.
2nd. There is some public objection to
the final payment upon this contract,
upon the ground that the contract has
not been complied with-and, as public
notice was not given of said special meet
ing, the public had no opportunity afford
ed it to be present and protest against
said payment.
3rd. But four members of the Board o4
Aldermen were present, of whom only
two were of the four members who con-
stitute the street committeeman it does
not to me seem proper to act upon such
bill at special meeting composed OF
but four Aldermen.
1t is true, was present also, and that
thus quorum was prese mt; but had no
vote, and could only las l did), express
unavailing dissent from the action then
taken.
| 4th. l do not consider the terms of the
contract complied with. Main street has
not been graded "to the grade establish
ed by the Council''-the work has not
been done lin proper and substantial
manner'-it has not been graded to a
proper height above the cutters to be
established upon each side" as no cutters
hare been established at ALT has not been
80 graded as to efficiently drain the
road -bed," as puddles settle upon it in all
directions-the grade has not been "com.
pleted upon the said established grade it,
entire length"-it has not been done
wholly with suitable material"-it was
not completed by November 1st," and
is not yet completed-it was not to be
paid for until completed"
1t is true proper deduction was made
for the work not done under the contract
so far as the contract was executed
but the contractor bound himself to do 8
certain thing, and he has not done it, and
he should not be released and the city
left to secure completion Of the work al
perhaps an advanced rate.
For these reasons respectfully with
hold signature to said warrant.
1 think it due both you and myself that
l admit l take this action with heslta
ton, as the members of the Board who
passed said bill are large taxpayers ane
have the interest of the city at heart
I have no desire to take any improper
or unnecessary steps in any such matter
but 1 do take it, and because l regart
it my duty in the premises.
I, then recommend reconsideration O
the matter.
Very respectfully,
J. ". BoGERT, Mayor.

Hon. w. o. P. Hays, whose body ar
rived here Friday morning from Eureka
Springs, Arkansas, was born in Tennessee
January 1928, and would have been next
month Sc years old. His parents emf
grated to Arkansas in 1888, when young
Hays was but ten years old, and in that
state he lived until he came to Montana,
which was in 1868, so that more than
one-third of his life has been passed in
the Rocky Mountains. He died ut Eure-
ka Springs, Arkansas, December 10Th,
from cancer of the stomach and also Of
the liver. His remains have been brought
to his old home to be buried by the Ma
sonic Lodge of which he was member
having been one of its charter members
and among its earliest Masters. Our pen
cannot do justice to the memory of such
an upright, honest man and we can but
imperfectly and family trace his life.
Mr.. HAYS, while not an office-seeking
man, was selected by his party as can
didate to represent this council district
in the 9th Legislative Assembly. He was
triumphantly elected to serve in that
body and was returned as a reward for
his services to three succeeding legislative
bodies, serving in the 9th, 10th, llth and
10Th, and two extraordinary sessions.
His Judgment was always clear and his
counsels wise, and we can scarcely meas
ure the value of his services. To him is
perhaps due, more credit for defeating
subsidy measures than to any other m an
His opposition was unf1inching and
steady against all measures of extrava-
gance. While not possessed of finished
education, he had an undercurrent OF
strong common sense which would enable
him with few words to demolish oppo-
sition. What more could we say of him
that he was an honest man, and con-
scientions in everything, and to say that
those who best knew him, were his
staunch est, truest friends.

that Sammy fell into the water between
