The charges preferred against Clerk
Galligan, OF the Board OF Public Works,
by Health Q[tieer Garrison, were taken up
and read. Mr.. Caldwell moved TO lay
them on the table. He said that they were
OF a trivial nature and he doubted the pro-
priety OF their being brought; up in
the Branch. To concur in the action OF
the Second Branch, which referred Them
to aspecial joint committee for inyeatiga-
Ition, would merely be to take up the time
OF members with an investigation that in
no cfse could amount to anything.
The vote TO lay on the table was tie.
Messrs. Caldwell, Dobbins, Gavin, Haller
and Kenney voted aye, and Messrs. Bin
CELL, Comeriord, Donaldson, Farrell and
schpltze voted no. Mayor Grub stated
that the vote beinga tic, he would vote!

cate he viewer, mat should the committee
report in favor Of sustaining the charges,
the requisite three-a liths majority vote
would not be had. The charge against
the Board also preferred by the Health
Officer was also referred to the same
special committee.
The Branch concurred with the Second
in adopting a resolution ordering the COM
mittee on ORDINANCES to apend the rules
so az to provide Tor the reading OF the City
Clerks report the first thing at every

THE SECOND BRANCH.
The Second Branch members who put
| in an appearance were Presid dent Sweeney
and Messrs. Caldwell, j. B. Crawford,
Robert Crawford, Hildreth, Jones, Peter
son, Pickett, Scott, Smith, Stanley and
Weir. They put In a half hour denounc-
ing the absent members. Some very sharp
things were said about them. PRECEDENT
Sweeney and several other members are
In favor Of doing what The Council Is al
lowed to do, provide compensation for
every meeting and put heavy fine on
members who do not attend unless they
can give, q psopey excuse. The adyisability
Of changing the ordinance SO as to do away
with all question about the right Of the
police to arrest absentees was also discuss-
ed in this connection.
Had there been q quorum Of the Second
Branch the principal matter before it
would have been the question OF the right
Of the Board Of Public Works to grant the
Riverside Iron Company the right to lay
q tramway along the west side OF lis nail
ifoctory in Main street, between Twenty
fourth and Twenty-ffth streets. This
track was laid Wednesday and completed
the circle OF track around the Riyerside's
works. None Of the Copncilmen appear
towant to emharrass the company by re-
fusing 1t the right to maintain the track
in Main street, butthere is strong objecf
ton 10 the Board's granting the right,
the claim being that II establishes q pre-
cedent that would give IL the right to al
low o railroad company to put downits
tracks.
