sage the ordinance granting the +;

and Mr.. Farrell moved that Coun

that committee time to act on it.
Mr.. McKenna, Chairman of the l.
Comm ittee, informed Mr.. Farrell d
his committee would not taks act
on the ordinance, unless the
Solicitor was present. He was un
the impression that there was sor
thing crooked about the matter, or

with the Sewer Committee.
As soon as he ceased speaking,

which belonged to the city for not
they did not want them at all
