Racket Over an Ordinance.

b. s. +
A special meeting OF Council was held.
last evening for the purpose of approving
the bonds Of the officers recently elected
by Council and swearing them in. In the
First Branch Mayor Grub presided and
nearly all the members were present. In
the Second, President Sweeney called the
members to order. The absentees from
the lower branch were Messra. Butts, Har.
rell, Peterson, Pickett, Vockler and
Waterhouse.
Nothing occurred OF special interest in
either branch. except q little break in the
Second between some of the members and
the Chair over q peculiar ruling. Amor
dinance amending the ordinance in rela-
ton To the City Water Board so as to allow
OF tho appointing OF two water assessors
instead Of one, was presented to the Sec
ond Branch with request that 1t be
adopted at last nights meeting. The
rule OF Council is, thatall ordinances must
be read three times in each branch, and
that one can only be read one time at the
meeting ut which 1t is introduced unless
the rules arc suspended, and this suspen.
sion must be with the unanimous consent
OF all the members. The practice in all
Legislative bodies is, that an ordinance or
act must be read once for information,
once for amendments and the third time
by It's title on It's passage. The ordinance
was read once, and President Sweeney
announced that II there was no objection
it would "be read second time by its
title"
Mr.. Hiidreth-Wo It not be well to
first suspend the rules?
The Chair-If there is no objection I'll
consider the rules suspended.
Mr.. Hildreth argued that vote was
necessary. A member raised a point OF
order that the rules Of Council were in an
ordinance and could not be suspended ex-
cept by IN ordinance. His poiut was not
well taken. Mr.. IIildreth carried his point
and the rules were suspended by vote.
The Chair then instructed the Clerk to read
the ordinance n second time, by its title
only. The Clerk read the title and then
started TO read the ordinance, but was
stopped by the Chair and the members
asked ii they had any amendments.
Mr.. Hildreth-Ell-ught Eh-ugh!
No one else said anything and the Clerk
was told by the Chair 10 read 1t third
time by itstitle.
Mr.. Hildreth-Eh.ugh! Eh.ughl
The Chair-What do you mean by your
seh-ughs eh.ugh'2 II you have anything
to say, get up and address the Chair.
Mr.: Hildfeth got up and when he had
sat down the Clerk read the ordinance q
second time for amendments. There were
none and, the paper was ordered to Its
third reading. Tho Clerk asis customary,
read it by its title only, but the Chair in
sisted on tho entire thing being read in
order to satisfy these stickiers for rules
while the Clerk was reading, the Chair
conlidentially informed Mr.. Hildreth that
he, the latter, was "a little too smart"
The ordinance was adopted. The pros
pect for the future is not q pleasant one
for Clerk Bowers II he has to read all Or
d nances through three times.
